What is something you dislike but still begrudgingly use? (lemmy.ml)

This question was inspired by my hatred of Temporal Anti-Aliasing which, in many games nowadays, is poorly used as a performance bandaid. On lower resolutions it will smudge and blur the image and certain bad cases of TAA will cause visible ghosting.

Yet in spite of all this, certain games won't let you turn it off or have hair/fur/foliage look like dogshit without it so sometimes I still use it.

Linux for a multitude of reasons (tinkering being an example, that includes shit like mint), cause I HATE windows and Microsoft so so much more

Where do you have to tinker in Mint?

[–] Mandy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Tinker = fix shit that should have worked from the start

Can you tell me where you have to tinker in Mint? I want to know if I can still recommend it to noobs

[–] Mandy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Since this is the internet i apparently have to disclaim that this is, in fact, just my opinion and my experiences:

I wouldn't recommend Linux anymore to noobs at all the moment you wanna install more than a browser

Proton is a piece of shit that barely makes the games run it's advertised for (protondb is not your friend, games rated gold and above are a crapshoot if they work and advise worked once, maybe twice), don't trust lutris either,same shit in yellow

Timeshift, messed up my whole system and needed to he installed again

It can straight up refuse to boot past the splashscreen if it doesn't like any USB connected appliance

Those are the highlights
