In all seriousness it's very exciting, I just don't need to see the same information worded 20 different ways from random clickbait sites lol
The year of the Linux desktop is long ago, but this year definitely will be the year of Linux mobile
The combined number of years of my marriage and the ages of all of my children is a number that when subtracted from 2024 would not equal the first time I heard this.
Contrary to the idea that most of these new users come from steam decks, I've had 3 of my friends switch to or at least partially use linux. We are certainly growing.
Microsoft has made their os so annoying and I loath when their updates revert settings that took me an hour to find in the first place. Or worse, remove the settings and features I liked to shove some more bs ads and data harvesting down my throat.
So yeah, I'm planning on downloading Linux mint to a flash drive and giving it a try on one of my laptops this month.
A windows update broke my computer. My system image I made using Windows couldn't restore. I have zero faith in windows. The culprit was something like an update that fucked driver signatures.
Dont you get it? Every year is the year of linux.
i'll switch 100% to linux when Logitech supports my steering wheel.
Which one? The G27/G920/G29 and some others are supported pretty much out of the box.
Not thanks to Logitech but they do work fine.
G928 and the pedals and shifter
Do you mean the G923? Can't find a G928 anywhere. The G923 is supported since kernel 6.3.
I couldn't get it working correctly. Regularly disconnects and misshifts. I admit I didn't try as hard.
That's strange. Do you happen to use a USB extension cables to reach your steering wheel?
I noticed that Linux is far worse than Windows in recovering from USB errors. Most of the time it will just stop working where Windows will ignore the error and continue.
If you are interested in diagnosing the issue you can run journalctl -f in a terminal while playing and check the logs when an issue occurs. USB errors will be marked red in the log.
No extension cables. Just plug in and not working. Went to the Logitech site to find drivers. Did a few searches in flatpak and installed some packages and still nothing worked.
I have since moved back to Win11 and enjoy the plug and play aspect in my gaming. I tried using Mint to see if it's ready for someone like me in 2024.
Unfortunately for Linux to be prime time, it can't expect someone to diagnose problems or worse, try and understand command lines. The second someone has to read a markdown, it's not ready.
While I love the meme, Linux is doing pretty good recently
