Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try that.

Concerning the "look up the things you're using next time" feels like you assume I didnt do that. I looked up 20 different items in my config and even made some hardware choices based on that. the issue is that the information is not as easily gathered in some cases (see stream deck).

My point initially was that it is shocking to me that an expensive piece of hardware that has a pretty solid ui on windows should have (as I just learned) at least an official ui for linux at all.

Btw. I'm using linux for 2 yrs on a home server and am an admin for linux servers. The server side of linux is just a lot less complicated and thus I feel like the information as well as the software are easier to understand imo.

Also, I find the "then linux is not for you yet" a bit rough. I would argue that my point is valid, assuming that for profit companies usually do bother to at least have some kind of ui ready after linux is on the rise for quite some time and windows is deep down the enshittification spiral. I feel like asking what troubleshooting steps were undertaken before judging that someone is not ready for desktop linux would have been the appropriate way here.

Thanks anyway. I will check on reddit in the meantime.

I agree on all points but one. I usually prefer to have more options and freedom as well BUT I am shocked that elgato didn't even bother to make a ui for the streamdeck on linux. The community made ui (I know of this for like 10 minutes) is the typical "pro version" as most things in linux are. You can basically steer a spaceship with it, I get it.

My point does not seem to compute though: People are switching from windows en masse (as am I, too) and there not being a stream deck windows ui equivalent from the maker, with at least most of the functionality from the windows version is shocking to me. I am solely saying there should be freedom of choice which interface to use. Due to elgatos ignorance or unwillingness or whatever other reason, there is not. This is what surprised me.

Thanks for letting me know. I just learnet that the other ui is community made as well. Shame on elgato to not bother for the thousands of linux users.

As of 5 minutes ago, I'm aware of this myself since someone bothered to tell me. People need to get that not everyone is on their level of knowledge and it is perfectly normal to assume that an expensive product comes with a linux version of the configuration software. Currently editing my post to reflect that.

Whoops. In this case I don’t understand the question.

And now we are getting somewhere. I‘m sorry, I don’t have the time to find out if the ui for an expensive piece of hardware I bought is made by someone else than the manufacturer.

In this case I retract my question (not statement, thus not unfair btw.) and make the statement that elgato is just not taking care of its linux users.

This is one piece of crucial advice that someone needs to know before buying a streamdeck. They just dont have a ui for linux.

Edit: thanks for downvoting instead of explaining. Someone just told me that the ui is in fact community made and elgato didn’t even bother to make a linux ui. That’s pretty devastating imo. So, the functionality still is a lot less user friendly but quite understandably so.

My issue with it is not the integration but the basic functionality compared to ad-dows. It‘s really frustrating to buy an expensive product, use it for a year on windows and then downgrade to hell when switching to linux. Most FOSS software looks and feels more taken care of than this.

I think a for profit ui that looks and feels like the 20 yr older windows brother is kind of trash, sorry.

I‘m totally with you on that. I get it. But I still think users should have the same options on linux than they do on windows if they don’t have hours to write scripts or the knowledge.

Arguing that the possibilities are endless is correct imo but it is leaving out the elephant in the room: This only applies to people who are not typical windows users.

Reddit at its best.

Probably home assistant? Thats what I use.

I recently bought an nvidia gpu and I won’t do it again. Forget nvidia and linux. They work together at this moment but very much meh. Proprietary driver and lots of little issues with games. Maybe those also surface with amd but I doubt it.

Uk is driving itself off a cliff for quite some time now. If it were a person I‘d institutionalize them to stop them from harming themselves.

I get your point. You‘re not the only one schooling peeps on this. It’s highly frustrating.

Make sure to not repeat yourself a lot but make a blog, youtube channel, etc. Make your statements, put sources together to make it easy and logical and then just link to it.

The big problem democracy has is efficiency. People who actually know stuff burn out because they don’t accept that they might be right but not efficient. Don’t be that guy.

I‘m currently trying to build stuff up with mastodon but it’s still a wip.

Good luck to you.

But this makes the subscriber count kind of pointless imo. It’s kind of important to see how many people really subscribe.

In the meantime, I have gathered as much. But thank you very much for letting me know. :)

Yes, I agree that there are risks involved.

I think the risks with Fossil fuels are a lot higher:

• instead of putting nuclear waste in the ground, we pump it in the air (fossil fuel waste is radioactive)
• instead of nuclear proliferation, we support barbarist states such as saudi arabia

So, the question between fossil and nuclear was never there. It was always nuclear and people that lobbied against it should go to jail for the rest of their lives for murder.

Now, I have no clue how far along we are. This (site)[https://wisevoter.com/country-rankings/renewable-energy-by-country/] says we‘re at 17% global coverage and some people argue that rn we should invest every dollar/euro in renewables instead of nuclear.

I can understand that argument. Not sure which makes more sence though.

We tend to forget the negligence humans are capable of.

But to be fair, abolishing nuclear was a trick to expand oil, gas and coal afaik. At least the funding came from there iirc.

I think ask lemmy would work better for this question. Just an idea.

I assume you mean reinstalling an app. Thanks. I figured it might help since reinstalling the desktop helped when that broke.

Your username is hilarious! Made me exhale a little faster than usual. :)
