I think I’d rather hear from the recipients.

He was on Joe Rogan a week or two ago

My guess is that accepting that also means admitting to the alleged crimes. Both of these people seem to want to be proven innocent rather than guilty but not set for execution.

Edit: I did no research on either case nor know if I am correct.

Try what post #2 says? https://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=159418

The guys in this thread also mention checking permissions and versions https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=417949

I don't typically use flatpaks so I am way outside my depth here.

You also mentioned above that you're using Arch, and while I personally love Arch and think it's reputation is way overblown, for better or worse it is a fairly stripped back distro and isn't going to have a bunch of edge-case stuff built in. Now, typically Mint does so with that issue persistent across them I am more inclined to think it isn't going to be that wasy but you might try a Pop/OpenSuse/Fedora and see if anything they're bundled with just magically solves the issue. I suspect a live image would be sufficient for testing that

Is it an Asus laptop, when I search those specs a lot of those populate? Those have some known issues and there is at least one dedicated site for them

Assuming no make sure you are allowing for proprietary repos, mostly those are for nvidia stuff but it can't hurt to try. Then, I'd try switching to xorg and see if all of those persist. While wayland is a really solid piece of software, it's still fairly young and has some compatibility issues that you might be inadvertently tangling up against.

Don't rule out you could have multiple unrelated issues that are seemingly from the same source.

What are your hardware specs, are you running xorg or wayland? The video is kind of hard to see what you're referencing beyond the screen tearing on desktop transition.

Can only speak from personal experience, sadly. Other than the self-inflicted kind (running Asahi on a MPB for example) I've had a more or less painless experience. Off the top I have about 9 devices running Linux (excluding Pis) and have used Linux almost exclusively for about 10 years.

I should note that bugs and the like aren't unheard of, for example I had a friend who's laptop refused to sleep properly - I just personally don't have any horror stories.

Tl;dr - Use Mint, as for other bug complaints pics or gtfo

Running the mainline distros I’ve never encountered an installation that didn’t “just work”. I’ve thrown mint on basically every device people in the family have any no one has come back to me for any software breaking bugs.

The only bug I can remember messing me personally up was a few years ago when a bad grub update stopped booting my arch machine, but that was more me than the os’s fault. Which is more than people who got bricks from CrowdStrike can say.

If you can narrow down anything beyond “bugs” and “basically all distros” you don’t want help. There’s tens of thousands of distros and an infinite number of possible bugs.

I agree they care about the perceived quality of their product, but don’t think them litigating has anything to do why the product is of the quality it is.

I would guess their litigiousness is a holdover from the 90s with them being afraid of being branded as “generic” because every parent/grandparent called their video games “the Nintendo” and they don’t want to be seen as not being protective of their IP as to allow unlicensed products. Maintaining the perception of quality from their products.

I think you’re conflating correlation and causation. They release good stuff, and don’t want to be associated with anything without their approval / lose legal ground of something of theirs, therefore they’re lawsuit happy.

This article was about 20 times longer than it needed to be. Here’s the ultimate point:

no amount of data can sufficiently determine spacetime’s global properties. It is likely that there are no theorems strong enough to determine whether our Universe began in a past cataclysm. The Malament-Manchak theorem shows that we can’t know how time began – or even if it began.

It won’t say David Mayer

I don’t know man, I run Linux on all my stuff and I am lazy as shit.

I run Arch on my desktop with a 3090 and xfce (forced xorg) and have had no issues.

I run Opensuse on my laptop that gets really great battery life and isn’t even listed in the Wikis. This is my primary work laptop

I dual boot Asahi on a MBP.

I agree with the sentiment of your post being doing go balls out on a work machine but it’s not nearly as bad or unstable as you make it sound

My vote is with the Rat and I refuse to elaborate.

Gotta be revenge for the strike

I saw a YouTube video yesterday where the guy closed with “follow me on BlueSky” which I had never heard used in a mainstreamish video.

Shame their AI question didn’t have a “my biggest concerns is companies chasing the AI buzzword with no tangible benefit”

I’ve not used BSD, but this is cracking me up because this reads like the “Linux Sucks back to Windows” threads from 10 years ago.

I am sure, I’m just speaking about the ones my company uses. I don’t know much about them other than they aren’t able to be updated centrally. I worded the update part poorly, since the tag can update instantly but our registers don’t update pricing save for once a day.
