I'm gonna de-lurk long enough to say that as another full time Linux guy, after the GNOME 3 disaster I finally got suckered into buying Apple due to the "OSX, it's still unix but a decent desktop environment" myth. Decent hardware, but every point release is a driver crapshoot and of course I can't go in and fix them myself. I'm in Linux VMs if I want to do anything more complicated than surf the web or watch movies.

While I'm at it... There are hundreds of Linux-using developers at my day job and we pick our own environments. There's only *one* guy I've ever seen/heard of running GNOME 3 long term, but he also only graduated a year or two ago and is probably too dumb to know any better.

gnome 3 is great hope this helps

I'm having doubts about continuing to renew my LWN subscription, because even that place is beginning to succumb to groupthink with I HATE SYSTEMD :byodood: and I HATE GNOME 3 :byodood: posters going around making GBS threads up unrelated discussions

don't even get me started on Michael Larabel's poo poo pit of a site

i keep forgetting lwn exists. i with their discussions weren't threaded. threaded boards are the worst.

It's not "optimizing for edge cases" so much as not actively trying to further break things for users who do manual configuration. We already hide that manual configuration from idiots.

But now Mint is forcing all their users to be idiots by default.

Change your shell to fish, you fools!

Sure, you can configure some other shells to be almost as great, but fish comes working out of the box. Only negative is that years of muscle memory using bash's backtick operator can't turn into using parentheses to save my life... but it's worth it and I could patch that back in if I really cared enough.

congrats on having to use the command line to fix something that should have worked oob. linux almost doesn't suck in really specific edge cases

the windows equivalent is needing to load network drivers from the cd that comes with your motherboard in order to download video card drivers and 4.3 gigs of windows updates. sure the command line isn't involved but it's just as much as a gently caress around

Hello from Guatemala. Computers are really cool and fun and so is Linux. I have a job that is cook and fun and Linux and I just got fresh, hand picked, home made, roasted in front of my eyes coffee and it was delicious. And some weird sweet corn tamale that was delicious. Also I saw a car accident and a volcano explode. Today was good.

sounds cool & good & send me one of your test units thanks

I'd love to have any sort of data, but Fedora is broken and any attempt to discover how users are using the software we make is shut down with privacy concerns.

do what debian does and do the popularity contest opt-in during install?

poo poo like that is why I use an ancient linux. A lot less breakage when you need to spend your time actually working rather than janitoring your hobbyist garbage.

it's an option when you log in it's not like it's permabroken. it's intended to be tested.
