It’s a pretty good experience, but I will say that KDE’s stylus calibration leaves much to be desired. Windows lets you add as many calibration points as you desire through a comment. KDE on Wayland doesn’t support non linear calibration yet.

I always love the responses to these videos because it’s invariably a bunch of skilled Linux people showing their entire ass trying to justify why the average user would somehow have had a magically better experience and the OP is uniquely bad at computers. Get fucking real. Sit down, shut up, and take notes. It’s never going to be the year of the Linux desktop if you ignore the issues encountered by new Linux users.

Wish there was into on how to pirate adobe for Linux. Even into for Windows is hard to find (for obvious reasons) when you’re someone like me who doesn’t know where to look.

This is not an invitation to tell me how and get banned lol

“Sounds like it is working pretty well to me” when I spend multiple days trying to get Linux working for one purpose (to draw) and am unsuccessful.

This is why “current year is the year of the Linux desktop” is hilarious to anyone who doesn’t use Linux.

Krita solves at least your second problem. I love Krita

Love how when someone has issues with Linux but not Windows somehow it’s pebkac. Classic annoying Linux user response.

To half the users in this thread, normal people use computers as a means to an end.

“If you’re not prepared to get your hands dirty this OS is not for you” you’ve already lost me, this is unhinged behaviour. You have one life and you choose to spend it fixing your computer so it will do the same things except slightly differently.

But I know this is an unpopular opinion for Linux users.

And not just “a beach on the ocean”, but literally just the open ocean.

But immediately dismissing people’s problems is the Linux way. Linux is perfect, I had no issues with it, so if you have any issues you’re simply wrong!

The cursor used to appear pixelated at high magnifications until they switched to it a vector to fix it, so definitely intentional

Asks the fucking developer of lemmy if they’re lost. fucking lmao

I’ve heard that newer generations are becoming less tech literate on average than previous generations. They don’t try to fix their device, they just expect it to work. When it doesn’t, they don’t have the troubleshooting skills to fix it. They never had the opportunity to learn them.

That’s obvious to you to do, yes. You have experience with Linux.

I watched a video of a Linux noob trying it for the first time. They chose Mint, and a significant amount of problems arose from the fact that mint is still on an old kernel version, and there was little to no indication from the OS or from cursory googling that updating it would fix the issue or even that you should do that.

The most Linux response. Linux doesn’t fit your use case? Clearly your use case is wrong! /s

First time I’ve seen somebody acknowledge that it’s not just nation states with such capabilities. There are some huge organized crime syndicates.

I’m not arguing for or against your point. But it’s actually a difference of 48.576 kB to be pedantic

The solution is not more fuel efficient or fuel alternative cars, it’s the replacement of cars entirely (where reasonable). But you can’t shock that, because it requires infrastructure which literally doesn’t exist in much of North America, and is severely lacking in the rest of it.

It depends on a number of factors: outdoor temperature, the model of car, whether climate control is used. At temperatures of an average January daytime high where I live, using climate control, range can decrease by 40% and anecdotally my model is even higher.
