Just giggled as my last meme mentioned trouble with displays and appropriately, a large chunk of the replies were “well MY displays work just fine!” (And charmingly, many were thoughts of things to check, other distros etc. It’s a very kind community, though that may also be the fediverse.)

    Indeed. I think you just have to accept a half broken system if you use Linux.

    Your experience has been wildly different than mine.

    I had similar experiences a decade ago, but I don’t feel that I have accepted any trade-offs in the last five years.

    If anything, I must seem naive to my peers because using the same tools on Mac or Windows is so much harder, and I forget sometimes.

    Have you tried Linux recently?

      Bluetooth mic is currently broken for everyone that uses wireplumber and libwireplumber.

      Which is basically everyone using the up to date version of those packages.

      This affects everyone. If you turn on your Bluetooth mic on it the system hard crashes.

      Yes. I’m using it right now. There are many ridiculous broken things like the one mentioned above. I can give you a few more that affect everyone if you want.

      I really feel like I’m being gaslit by people here on Lemmy saying that their system doesn’t randomly breaks. When major functions just break out of nowhere for everyone and stay broken for arbitrary number of weeks or months.
