Yeah I can totally see that happening 🫣
Here it was especially infuriating because it’s mixed with all the company policies, like the 1 month process it took me to have administrator privilege in the first place.
These process also make some sense as I’m in a company of several hundred thousand employees, but all of this mixed together is exhaustingly anoying.
At least now I know that I’m not crazy. Also that this issue is on Microsoft and not on my company’s IT department.
It’s a ~5 years old thinkpad. It may be due to it not being well managed but it really disn’t up to the task. Being in a Teams call while using an external displays makes the framerate drop to ~10fps for example 🤷
Also, I don’t get how people just accept that any input they perform will require an average of 1s for feedback.
But at least now I understand why macs are so popular…
Wow thank you I needed that.
What a big pile of shit software, I swear I’m just gonna quit because of this ass smelling garbage.
Today I discovered that C:/Users/MyUser was silently an alias of C:/Users/OneDriveBullshit/MyUser only in the explorer. So I just figured out why some documents were often disappearing for months, I’m just working on a multiverse were depending on the application the same path don’t lead to the same folder.
Earlier this week I unzipped a file and couldn’t remove resulting files without administrator privileges.
I’ve never lost so much time for any fucking software, let alone a paid one. And don’t even get me starting on the fucking ads they put everywhere even if you unchecked the 154 options in 42 different menus.
I’d say it depends if you are a technical user or not.
Yeah, my first question when I saw the title was “how do you even gather this data?”. It’s actually pretty cool as steam probably has rather reliable data in its own niche.
Maybe with zRAM and a bit of swap it could run quite ok 🤷
Steam, my Steam library and Proton could disappear. But at least it will have supported a big traction in the ecosystem : Wine, DXVK, Lutris, Heroic Launcher, Bazzite, etc… are all open source projects (so they can’t really disappear) that have never moved as fast as they are today.
But the future is inevitable, isn’t it better to be less pessimistic and attempt to be prepared for it instead of just waiting?
Although shaming newcomers for their distro choice is not a welcoming move 💢
😢
I don’t believe it either, I think they said it wouldn’t arrive before 2025 :/
But I want it soooo much, the OLED version looks awesome but it’s no an upgrade big enough to justify getting rid of my original version
Could it mean Steam Deck 2 already? 🤞
Although it depends of the backup format :
Didn’t GNOME support Wayland way earlier than KDE ?
That’s what saved me too but I’m still stuck with unpredictable crashes, 150GB of HDD / 8GB of RAM lost in the void and bullshit ads for copilot in the lock screen …
Thanks for the background, as a very recent nix adopter this drama seems like a lot 😥
I’m using NewPipe daily and it doesn’t seem broken at all?
