Windows has a thing similar to cups to detect and use these.

Apples cooling solution has always been to let the device overheat and avoid trying to cool it. All their laptops before the arm series had major thermal issues.

Hardware support is either non existent>generic driver>manufacturer driver that never gets updates

This sucks because on windows you’d be getting manufacturer driver support with updates and software tool support for additional configuration.

All the other “problems” are double edged because yes they are a problem for some but for others its a huge positive. For instance having all the files like .bashrc .compose .desktop as a way of configuring things is cool when you know an arcane when you dont. It should be in the settings gui.

Where is your linux USB with every distro anyone could possible mention?

I like power shell so much more than bash. Yes yes power shell can be used on linux I know.

I’m the opposite. Its weird to me for someone to add an AI as a co author. Submit it as normal.

Which distro are you using? Did this happen after an update? What audio output device are you using and how is it connected? Run pactl info to see if you’re using pulseaudio or pipewire. If you’re using pipewire you should see this line Server Name: PulseAudio (on PipeWire 1.4.10)

When is this issue happening? Sometimes audio crackles when the cpu us under heavy load

I know how he could of fixed things thats not the point. The point is these are linux issues that I dont fault a new user for running into.

He didnt need to do more research the video shows 3 different approaches, searching/ai, searching reddit, having basic experience from immersion.

If he had gone and picked something no user would ever pick maybe I’d have an issue but popOS is still commonly picked and recommended and its fine for him to bring to attention how shit it is for new users.

Overall I think the video was linux positive and I’m expecting the whole series to show linux favourably. I’m hoping the community reaction to ep1 doesnt change that. Theyve been insufferable.

They’ve always been a waste of time IMO. The only time I’d do them was when i owned very few games and had to squeeze every drop of value out of each one.

There are some cool ones like factorios finish the game in under 8 hours but most are slop. I think theres still a place on steam for them. I can go on peoples profile and see the ones they’ve chosen to display and how rare they are.

If you use mods you can usually get a mod to reenable them if you care about it.

I agree and wouldnt recommended it either but ultimately the devs shouldn’t be putting cosmic up just yet especially in the LTS. People will always recommend the most random shit when it comes to distros combine that with those dogshit listsites and AI new users should be encouraged to try multiple just to not have them getting stuck on one thinking its representative.

Yeah I was pretty shocked they were shipping it LTS with no warning or disclaimer

Gaming distros are great. They come with preconfigured drivers, controller setups, emulators, gamescope. Kernel patches, latest git for new game compatibility.

There are a lot of tweaks that even experienced users wouldnt think to make and it all adds up to the experience of plugging stuff in and playing games be seemless.

Actually people have been asking them to do more linux content and to try out linux. Especially in the last 6 months with windows having controversy after controversy. You probably didnt watch but it was a positive video about linux and none of the issues were his fault or outside what I’d expect a new user to run into.

Youre right. Its actually a good chance for the linux community to clean up long standing bugs and work out a better way to combat the misinfo new users face when onboarding. I hangout in a few noobie linux spaces and the suggestions they find are insane sometimes. Its common to see people suggest someone buy an entirely new GPU to fix an issue thats unrelated. Or switch distro to fix a minor issue. These make linux look so bad because no one should have to switch GPU to not have their screen flicker or have to switch distro to have Bluetooth work.

The l4d2 bug would happen on every linux distro when someone tries to run as native.

This video might shine some light on these issues and get valve to remove the native linux version of l4d2 since its completely broken.

Wait til next episode there is bazzite issues coming.

Did you watch the video? Every complaint you made was answered

I just saw pop recommended on this community. Its still got a ton of people who’ve had good experiences recommending it. But they might not know it now defaults to cosmic.

He did grab the lts

Really? All the linux vet YouTubers have run into countless really really bad bugs when using cosmic. I dont think its anywhere near stable. I have nothing against pop, my only issue is them shipping cosmic to early with no disclaimer or warning.

He would still have these issues on system76 hardware. The problems were cosmic and valve not supporting their old games.
