Sythen - The White Roe 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 @sythen.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Yup! That's what I hear, again, it's just an issue with my hardware, not so much a nix issue, but a creative issue. 000
Sythen - The White Roe 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 @sythen.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Ahhhhh. I get ya, yeahhhh, I'm with you on that one xD 010

Sythen - The White Roe 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 @sythen.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I know it's muchhhh better now days. Butttt the issue with audio (for me) isn't so much the fault of Linux, but fault of creative. 110
Sythen - The White Roe 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 @sythen.bsky.social · 09/10/2026The sheer amount of checks that need to be made before even picking a distro, for your basic end user, are not friendly. 100
Sythen - The White Roe 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 @sythen.bsky.social · 09/10/2026That's not the reason why I think Linux isn't ready for primetime. What distro to pick? is my RGB gonna work? Are my audio devices gonna work? How do I install software? What's apt-get? Why do some games not work? What's anti-cheat? Why is performance bad with my 5090? 410

Sythen - The White Roe 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 @sythen.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Just to be clear, I didn't imply anything. 000
Sythen - The White Roe 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 @sythen.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I'm used to the Linux jank too. And you aren't forced to use edge or whatever ai slop machine Microsoft try and feed the user. 000
Sythen - The White Roe 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 @sythen.bsky.social · 09/10/2026And just like a lot of Linux stuff. Good Documentation can guide most users. And power shell is easy enough to find. 000
Sythen - The White Roe 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 @sythen.bsky.social · 09/10/2026And I was giving an example of my own setup. The limited telemetry sent after is basic usage stats. A pihole isn't really needed. 100
Sythen - The White Roe 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 @sythen.bsky.social · 09/10/2026When you spend 20 odd years in the trenches of support, you see a lot. 100
Sythen - The White Roe 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 @sythen.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Not at all. There is a reason why the nix community has the stereotype of being elitist. The user has the choice to run a tool to strip the bs away, and continue to use what they know. Or they can attempt to switch, and learn a new OS, but the user should have that choice, and not pushed into it. 000
Sythen - The White Roe 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 @sythen.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Maybe for you, yes, but I'm going to assume you are not an average end user. And not scripts. Just a power shell command, and follow instructions. 000
Sythen - The White Roe 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 @sythen.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Which is well documented, with instructions, and nobody to be snidey to worry about 000
Sythen - The White Roe 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 @sythen.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Script. I do it on a fresh install. Takes care of the ai bs, and most of the telemetry. The rest is handled by the pihole. 000
Sythen - The White Roe 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 @sythen.bsky.social · 09/10/2026My main machine takes a minute flat to boot and be usable. My secondary machine takes about 50 seconds. My slowest machine takes a minute 10. 020
Sythen - The White Roe 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 @sythen.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Heard great things about it. Sadly, in my case, it's an issue of hardware support. But creative is to blame for that. 120
Sythen - The White Roe 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 @sythen.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I'd love to know where people are getting these elongated boot times from. 120
Sythen - The White Roe 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 @sythen.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Your opinions are valid, but I'm going to bow out of the conversation before it turns uncivil. Have a nice day ^^ 000
Sythen - The White Roe 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 @sythen.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Done it once in 2 years, and it took 5 minutes. So I don't know where the 45 minutes came from. 100
Sythen - The White Roe 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 @sythen.bsky.social · 09/10/2026They are running windows 11 with no problems. 100
Sythen - The White Roe 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 @sythen.bsky.social · 09/10/2026It's not the remote support setup that's the issue. 100
Sythen - The White Roe 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 @sythen.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Oh no, I did, I'm just missing out specific details that pertain to family members personally. 110
Sythen - The White Roe 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 @sythen.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Then I get phonecalls everyday on what to install to do this and that. Which is why they still use windows xD 120
Sythen - The White Roe 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 @sythen.bsky.social · 09/10/2026That's why I do IT work for the family. All their machines have been defanged. 110
Sythen - The White Roe 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 @sythen.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Yup! Sadly, people are dumb..... 110
Sythen - The White Roe 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 @sythen.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Completely agree, and for folks that are willing to learn, I have allllll the time in the world for. It's that majority that aren't willing. I blame tiktok xD 010
Sythen - The White Roe 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 @sythen.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Completely agree. But if folks wanna play it, they can't on Linux. Same with any riot game, rust, or destiny. 220
Sythen - The White Roe 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 @sythen.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Us Linux users are a small majority. Sadly, most pc users fall into the pebkac category. This is why I said Linux isn't ready for primetime. 200
Sythen - The White Roe 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 @sythen.bsky.social · 09/10/2026They would have no idea how to use it. Same with users that have a little technical knowledge that try Linux out, headsets not working, switching audio devices, keyboards and mice not working etc. Stuff doesn't work, or it requires them jumping through hoops to get stuff working. 200
Sythen - The White Roe 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 @sythen.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Very true! And like we see with the likes of the steamdeck, the GabeCube, and the legion go s, these devices have Nix of some flavour in mind, so they need little to no configuration done by the user. But if I were to stick my brother, his wife, or kids in front of a machine running bazzite. 200
Sythen - The White Roe 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 @sythen.bsky.social · 09/10/2026If you need to send the average user into a Linux console, it still needs work. Don't get me wrong, windows users shouldn't have to defang it to make it "useable", but Nix as a whole, for mainstream desktop use, still needs time to cook. 590
Sythen - The White Roe 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 @sythen.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Yeah, it's a bad move on the side of the game Devs, and I wish they would get over it. But yeah, Nix is getting there, just need more time to cook :) 150
Sythen - The White Roe 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 @sythen.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Audio handling still needs to get addressed, same with anti-cheat (though that's more of a dev problem than a user problem) There needs to be more standardization in how software is distributed. And multiple other edge cases that, sadly, force me to stay on windows. 280
Sythen - The White Roe 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 @sythen.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Ahhh ok! It's a shame that it has to be done just to make windows run as the user wants it to. I love Nix, Run a Debian box for my network services, and run SteamOS on my Legion Go S. But, IMO, for the majority, linux isn't ready for prime time. It's getting there though. 170
Sythen - The White Roe 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 @sythen.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Just enquiring, was this meant as a jab? 180
Sythen - The White Roe 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 @sythen.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Sorry. But this sounds like a them issue for not cleaning up and defanging windows. Can be done in a single script. And while linux has come a long way, it's still not ready for primetime. And this is coming from a multi-faith household xD 10210
Sythen - The White Roe 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 @sythen.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Whelp, let the shitposting commence 010
