I cannot be the only person who finds linux on the desktop annoying and hard to use sometimes, I love linux but it can really be the worst

@b0rk the only thing keeping me from removing Windows is that I am doing reverse engineering with Windows-specific things (WinForms mostly, sometimes WPF) and… um… I don’t want to hunt down DLLs for those just so I can put them down in ILSpy or whatever. And I think AutoCAD + Solidworks too.  @b0rk I love Linux—used it daily for more than a decade—, but the deterioration of accessibility tools made me look for another OS for daily use. I‘m partially sighted, so I need to use magnification tools. I got to the point I either couldn’t read what was on my screen or would get extremely nauseous due to the abruptness of movement in the zoomed in area when moving the cursor. I was very surprised when I learned macOS’ offerings had everything I was looking for. I made the switch last year.  @b0rk In conclusion: computers are way too complex and getting one system useable by a variety of people is a big problem and at least the free-software ones do not have "extract value from our users" as an ever-present design goal. So the free-software ones tend, more than the proprietary monopoly ones, to be designed by people who at least want to meet people's real needs without screwing them over for private gain. |
@b0rk every once and a while something small but super annoying runs me off. Historically it's been a lot of small bluetooth issues or issues with my Wacom tablet. Last one was a small screen flicker at high GPU usage. Although that one just sent me from Ubuntu to Mint.
