I don’t know about US affairs enough to say. If they did do terrorism, they should take accountability, if you did have the chance to make even the slightest difference. If you did your best to prevent it, you can pat yourself in the back. It doesn’t change the perception for those who are on the receiving end. I would have the same opinion if the US harassed, forced politics or use their culture as a trojan horse to win minds, in the end just oppressing. If that is the case, I have no problem if you lump them all together. You paid taxes, you funded the operation type of deal. I understand my views seem bigoted, but when you have this type of neighbor, it’s really hard to see otherwise. Especially when the country hasn’t changed the slightest, the culture in my eyes is tainted by propaganda and I am fed up with everything Russia. This is probably the last I’ll post about this, since nothing has really changed my mind. I’m just either missing something or just blinded. I will elaborate once more though; I have nothing against ethnic russians, but I messed up on that front. I don’t care what ethnicity you are, just the nationality. Maybe there is some sense in this, but that is what I think.

Russia is the only existential threat my country has. When you say you are “Russian”, I can’t seperate it if you mean nationality or ethnic background. If you lived in America, would you say you are “German” or “American”? Why not say “Ethnic german” or “German origin”. There are very few cases where someone has said they are “From russia” living here that didn’t believe kremlin. If the opposite is true, the seperation is instantly transmitted after, that they don’t trust Kremlin. Maybe I’m just retarded and can’t see the nuance here.

I have no problem with ethnic Russians. This is often tied to their nationality though, which muddies the water. The history and the fact they are the aggressors make it very difficult for me to see things otherwise. I know the individual doesn’t have the power to change things and I have no solution. You can be enraged by me for treating them “Guilty until proven innocent”, but the circumstances we are in is not good.

You are right, but they use this same argument to muddy the water time snd time again. That is why I don’t give it to them, it might make me look bad, but I can’t pretend. I don’t view a Russian that has progressive views as “Russian”.

Many downdoots so extra clarification; I am first in line to die if Russians attack. I have no sympathy for anyone that directly or indirectly supports the constant harassment on my country’s borders, jamming and going into our airspace, overwhelming our customs and posting propaganda in our forums. That is not including the terrorism in Ukraine. That original comment reads to me “It’s okay to be a gay nazi”. That is all.

I may be blackpilled but there isn’t. Russians are brainwashed by the state in my eyes. If you are a Russian that doesn’t believe the propaganda, you are not Russian, at least what it means now.

I hate the russians with passion, but I don’t think this sub is the place for geopolitics. We already know Russia wants to annihilate the LGBT+.

I’m straight male, but I still follow the stuff here since I like it and don’t want you dead…

Hey me! The bane of my existence was kwin. I have no idea why, but all of the previous issues have gone away. That is not to say I won’t have issues, though for whatever reason xfce x11 “just works”, as if VRR was enabled. What the hell…

I guess I could ask since even in the previous post many pointed that I use Linux wrong. And here too. Maybe I’m second guessing myself, but I use terminal to update everything except flatpaks. The most things alien to me are DE configs and if I were to use X11, those too. The first issues were when I installed xwaylandbridge which made kwin spam journalctl and the other “fixes” to screen share breaking debian. After the switch to Endeavour, all of the same issues persisted, except screen share worked because of a newer c++ package (to my understanding). The only difference being that Debian had less problems overall, which is understandable since the things not working properly were from AUR.

The thing I’ve followed to the best of my knowledge was DontBreakDebian. Is there just something else that I’m not supposed to do? The issues even on Linux don’t go away by themselves, so vim and hope was required.

Now I’m too accustomed to Linux, that Windows is alien to me. While the most issues are more of a montage, each fixed one by one, I did do a “hit piece” and being smug about it.

Either way, maybe the forest caveman route is the one for me, since technology is too much for me:'D

5800x

Exactly ;)

Most of the issues I have worked through. The few that are there, still don’t work how they did before. It could be a botched install or my CPU, which I kind of doubt. I did have a segfault issue ages ago, which was patched by a bios update. Before switching to Linux, W10 worked better than it did now. On Linux, it was consistent issues with Debian and Endeavour.

This is the first time installing W10 on top of an existing one, so it should work. Maybe it’s my hardware that caused it, maybe my router just blocked the update. Either way, that was the experience.

I’m probably going juat Fedora, since I want the most stable one I can get, which is pretty much an issue with Wayland. I can try Nobara too since I have an extra empty disk.

VS code works fine and I’ve grown to like it more than Visual Studio, since it also has reference jumps now. But still, writing ASM doesn’t really need a crazy editor. I had the pleasure of all tools that I need for work working under Linux.

The two things that didn’t are paint.net and fusion 360. Krita is quite similar to paint.net and more powerful so I’m good on that front and 3d printing is just a hobby, so booting up Windows to do one model isn’t a big deal either. Though I haven’t really modeled after I made the switch initially. I did try to learn FreeCAD, bur it’s too complicated to make simple models and usually someone has already made what I need :)

I guess you could bring it up to the mods. As long as they are allowed, they will be posted.

I’m just posting a rant after my first rant, which pretty much means this is the last one I’m doing. I liked the reading what others had to say about the first one, so how about another meltdown ;)

It’s not meaningful, but at least I’m having fun. Otherwise I probably wouldn’t be posting this. And it also cools my head writing how dumb the issues are, even if they are my fault.

Even if a meme, I’m already having trouble keeping up with my Android phone. A mac would be a nightmare, in the worst case it “would just work”. Unacceptable.

Thanks for the link, I’ll be reading it before going through with the install!

Oh extra fucking rant, I though the drag and drop was bad on Linux, probably because Ark just was 50/50 if it let me.

Oh boy, I now realized how much better Linux had it… Sure, there are a few cases, but dragging files from application to application just works unless it’s not developed. Right now on Windows, it actually just doesn’t work like I remembered it. It’s actually refusing randomly. This is a clean install, properly installed with their installer on another windows machine. No disable scripts or whatever used, real windows key and all…

Not exactly the same, but here is Firefox doing something similar. The left bar is flickering between desktop wallpaper and the middle bar is a stretch of whatever is on the application and the rest is as it’s supposed to be. It seems to be related to the HZ as my video camera cannot capture the flicker, having an effect like what happens when a spinning blade will look like it’s not moving.

In games it’s usually top right/left square (about 30% width, 20% height) that starts flickering. Either way, there’s no need to take time to find a solution, since I’m already transfering things over. The firefox one to my understanding has been documented and common.

You are right, though I’ve looked and asked for advice on things before. The issue is, that me not understanding the issue and what I’m looking for gives those who answer a large list of possible causes that I’d be wasting their time. The other half will be me wasting time narrowing it down reading possible causes for hours. I don’t want to do that when it goes away with a reboot. That’s why the post states it’s venting, not something I’m looking for a solution since I already gave up.

Sure, I can give some pointers. DE is KDE Wayland and the version is whatever Endeavour gives. AMD 7900 GRE and 5800X, no configuration on drivers/proton. There have been weird “seeing through” application epilepsy things to games runnning extremely poorly until the system is restarted.

There are others like shaders/models glitching out where a restart is also necessary, though I can’t confirm if it has been the game or the system itself. Either way, sometimes just restarting the game or changing proton version has fixed them, but they re-appear with different ways to “fix” them in other games. That is, until apt/pacman upgrade which sometimes breaks the fix.

Debian, Arch and Endeavour. Endeavour being the current one, Debian having the least problems until kernel issues without logs. That was more than likely caused by misconfiguration. Arch was too much and Endeavour is pretty much the same. All of them have the same weird small issues when it comes to gaming. Other than that, they all work fine, other than Wayland issues.

Most might suggest to just use X11, but VRR is a must and no matter how I’ve tried to make X11 work, it’s just so much worse than Wayland.
