If you're not able to connect to a NAS for some reason, that's almost definitely on you or your friend in this case. But even that aside, expecting a one to one transition has always felt odd to me... You don't switch from an Android device to an iOS device or vice versa with the expectation of everything working one to one. You usually understand that there's a lot of differences involved.

There's ofc things like VR that I will admit Linux is quite far behind in, but for general use, Linux is problem-free for the most part these days. And you definitely don't end up having an unbootable system pretty much ever unless you intentionally fuck it up. Like yeah, Linux lets me uninstall the kernel or bootloader if i choose to do that (it will try to warn me ofc) and that would render the system unbootable. But that would be me being irredeemably stupid, not the operating system's fault. Hell, some distros like Tumbleweed even come with a better snapshotting setup than both Windows and macOS, making it pretty much impossible to fuck it up that badly.

Crates aren't exactly runtime dependencies, so i think that's fine as long as the 1500+ dependencies actually help prevent reinventing the wheel 1500+ times

If you're not using a venv for python development, that's kind of on you

Fractional Scaling on Plasma's Wayland session specifically is good now. GNOME on Wayland forces blurry scaling on every Xwayland app with no way to opt out.

Yeah maybe like in 1995... If you're having this kind of issue in the present day, you'd have to be shooting yourself in the foot very very intentionally. (An example is a broken custom Arch or Gentoo setup, which you shouldn't be using anyway unless you know exactly what you're doing.)

I guarantee you, he would still have dropped it at least once in two decades of use.

Facetiming is pretty commonly used i think

But I've tried both Mint and Ubuntu and the software updater constantly runs into issues very quickly after install.

I have a Blue-Build based custom distro (not many customisations tbh), that I'm planning to ship for my sister as well as me. So far, updates have been painless because it's just one base image overwriting the other. I have a feeling that that's where Linux distros in general is headed. I can imagine Bazzite being just right for you if you're into gaming.

I don't think you understand how AIs work

Try this: https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.akylas.documentscanner

Pebble is still going pretty well though, so I don't know if that's a good comparison

It's not just the Arch wiki. It's the overall DIY approach, the AUR and a lot of other factors. Some also just like the fact that it's built by a community and not a company.

Shouldn't your huawei tablet support mtp just fine though?

Source: extremely common knowledge and the stranglehold that Google has on webdev

He's getting at Firefox being unusable for one of his usecases. Though i guess you could argue that he could just use something like brave specifically for that use case while using Firefox for other stuff

I did get the joke, that's why I started the way i did

I get what you're trying to do here but the thing is, bluetooth and nvidia are terrible on every platform tbh... At the very least, nvidia laptops on Windows for my friends haven't been as stable as my AMD laptop on Arch has been for me. I hear nvidia on desktop is solid, so that might be the issue here though. Which also reminds me, nvidia on Linux isn't really an issue anymore, they work as well as their windows counterpart basically and nearly every distro makes them really easy to install.

And Bluetooth on Linux right now is just as terrible as on Windows, which is to say, it works pretty well.

Yep, i have the same. But yeah, other than that, damn smooth

It also supports sync between Kobo and Android, which is really neat

Just disable them. It's not like unused code paths consume resources usually.
