That’s fine. Most people aren’t “Windows pros” either.
CUPS picks up my TR7020 just fine. It’s still an inkjet piece of garbage, but it works fine lol
Some of the crap I had to do back in the late 00s to get wifi, sleep and power management even barely working on some machines felt like the hardest thing at the time. I wonder how I’d fare with those issues today, 17 years later, knowing quite a bit more about the underlying OS and working with the OS daily… I don’t know that I’d qualify that as difficult more than it was extremely tedious and a bunch of trial and error of configuration options I didn’t know anything about.
If we’re talking about modern day… not so much honestly. btrfs snapshots saved my ass a couple of times, the rare issue I encounter I just rollback and wait for an upstream fix, and the rest I typically ignore or use something else. Everything tends to run quite smooth for me as a general rule, though.
Yeah, I’m no graphic designer but the fediverse logo looks like a nightmare to render at small sizes, which is what designers are looking for in a logo, typically - something that is easy to recognize, tells something about the product, and scales well at all sizes, from favicon to building sized ad. I like that it conveys its own meaning really well, but it’s also extremely busy. So many crossing lines in such a small space just looks like a garbled mess at small sizes. Take this image and scale it down to 16x16px, you can see what I mean.
Same. I’m another one of those Reddit refugees. Haven’t logged in over there since the API changes went into action and my app of choice stopped working.
Chlorine levels so easy to test for, I’d be curious to see such a measurement… This sounds like a class action waiting to happen.
If we want to keep going with car comparisons, I’ll try to make it illustrate my point once again - do those people happen to learn that R doesn’t mean “Really fast” by being snarkily told to RTFM by a car enthusiast or they aren’t a real driver?
I was specifically addressing the “Linux users need to RTFM or they aren’t Linux users” affirmation. It’s not defending ignorance to point out that it’s gatekeepey as hell.
I’ve also helped plenty of technical folks install Linux on newer hardware, and some had difficulties and I had to provide support more than once. One of my grandparents understood Ubuntu/Unity immediately, the other had trouble. Anecdotes don’t say much.
Feel free to point out where I was “offended”. I thought this was merely a discussion, as these communities encourage to have.
As for what was actually said, even re-reading the comment I was answering to, your interpretation of what was said is still not what I’m reading, at all. Quoting verbatim: “You aren’t a Linux user if you don’t like to RTFM”. How is this not gatekeeping? You use Linux, you’re a Linux user, that’s all.
I do wonder what she visibly has that tons of other pop singers don’t to have become so popular. Still, I’m puzzled by your choice of words here. I can’t say I really understand what’s “goofy” about her.
