It basically means 'I don't want to spoil something that you like'

Thanks for replying :)

I'll have a look into it, thanks. I pretty much only support my mother's laptop outside of my house now, but I use NoMachine to sort out the home computers. As much as I like it, it can be a bit slow sometimes, and it's always in the back of my mind that it's going to lock me out like the others did.

I wonder if it was an edge case that the Linux driver didn't account for, like a minor incompatibility between the two devices.

You've just reminded me that I had a Bluetooth problem with my laptop a few years ago. My headset would connect and work properly, but wouldn't be recognised after the laptop had either been to sleep or shut down. I had to go through the bluetooth device folder, something like /dev/bluetooth/, find the folder that corresponded with the headset's address, and delete the cache folder inside. It would then work until the next sleep / shut down.

I expected problems with the Pi because USB wifi has always seemed to be a bit dodgy, even on Windows, and wifi is apparently still a problem area with Linux. Add to that the Pi's limited distro, and I thought it was bound to go wrong.

Ah, that makes sense, thanks :)

Are there any limitations to Meshcentral? I tried using Team Viewer and a few others when I was supporting family on Windows, and they all wanted to charge me after a while.

Out of curiosity, how long ago did these problems happen? I've been using Mint and Xubuntu for a while now, but had to use a few different troubleshooting distros to fix a Windows boot issue, and none of these came up. As these are Debian based distros, I'd expect the same problems to filter down.

The only thing I've had issues with lately is setting up a USB wifi adapter on a Raspberry Pi, but I'd expect some problems with that.

If it helps, Mint seems to have this sorted. I was using a 1080 screen and a 2k screen. Now I've got two 2k screens (1440 x something?). Mint detected both configurations correctly and set them up for me. The only thing I had to do was tell it which monitor was the primary, and that was only because I prefer my primary screen to be on the right.

I had the 1080 screen set up in portrait mode for a while too, and Mint had no problem with it 👍

XFCE and Cinnamon. I've got a Xubuntu server and a Mint laptop, and they both do it.

It's not a major issue, but it's enough to break my train of thought, which is annoying.

Yes and no. There are the type of people who will go 'Aaarghh! I can't open my Microsoft Edge through Microsoft Cortana to use Microsoft Bing! Linux sucks!!!1!!', but there are also things in Linux that are frustrating.

The biggest annoyance to me is how small the border around windows is. On Windows, I can grab anywhere around the edge of a window and resize it, including in both directions from the corners. In Linux, I need an electron microscope to find the edges, and the hand of god to find a corner.

If I want to paste something in Windows, it's ctrl v. If I want to paste in Linux, it's ctrl v. Unless it's the terminal, which is shift, ctrl v. Or edge cases where it's shift and insert.

They don't tend to be major problems, but they break your workflow, and that makes them feel a lot worse.

This exact thing actually was user error. I mean, I like my people Linus, Luke, Emily and the others like every other average tech person... But when Steam is the absolute first thing you go for after installing your OS, then, sorry, but then you have only yourself to blame.

Your exact words, taken from your post. You literally said that he has only himself to blame.

102 so far. It's mostly porn and the creepy hentai and furry stuff, some of the foreign language communities that get through the filters, and things like different sports, that I'm never going to be interested in.

As other people have said, I want to be able to browse through All to discover new content, but there's no point in seeing things that I'm never going to like.

this is not automatic, all my toothbrush stuff is set up as a visual cue any time I'm near the sink

I can't even do that. If I leave my toothbrush in the same place, it becomes part of the background and I don't really notice it.

Brains are weird.

Ah, for £4 it's worth a look 🙈😁

Ah, I convinced myself that I was wrong to think that. I know you can get electricity from lemons, and thought I'd mixed them up 🙈

I'm new to this, and not sure if Lemmy.world is an instance or an app, so please forgive me if I step on any toes.

Voyager is an app that lets you have infinite scroll, along with letting you block communities from the 'all' feed

https://wefwef.app

Anything that stops me from seeing the same posts every time I open the app would be nice. It feels like I have to scroll past 50+ old posts before I start seeing new content, and that's every time.

I don't know if it's something to do with Voyager, or if it's a Lemmy issue, I just know that it's annoying.

That worked out well - one copy in stock for £4.05. I've been trying to learn JavaScript for a while, so thanks for the recommendation :)

You're misunderstanding. It's not to prevent emergencies, it's to create them 👍

You posted an hour after the devs had said that the request had been merged and was available. That's not being helpful, that's advertising another app.

'guess people don't like being informed of other apps functionalities.'

Maybe it's just unhelpful in the community for a different app?
