A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Yes sir, until you update your video driver and never see your screen again. I jest a little bit, but watching linus do that cracks me up every time.

Yeah! There it's you fucking up your UI every next Monday because you're not mentally well, and you can't let good enough be good enough

There needs to be some middle ground between so much control that simple things that should be obvious breaking your computer isn't as possible as it currently is.

Linux has a learning curve yes, it also has several hurdles that seem to be an unnecessary byproduct of having total control over your OS.

The Gnome desktop is a pretty good middle ground in my opinion. It is in my opinion even simpler than Windows to use and allows enough customizability with extensions. People in the Linux world love to dunk on it for using slightly more RAM and not having the same amount of customizability as other desktops like KDE Plasma.

there is some immutable distros, but I wouldn't like that it becomes the norm
