just_another_person@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Conservative group files complaint against Hopkins medical school1·1 day agoOh wow. Is that what that is? How fucking dumb are these people…
Fedora (Gnome or KDE versions) is going to be the most straightforward without a bunch of “extras” to be aware of if you’re looking for a desktop. Immutable distros have extra hoops, and anything Ubuntu based has Snap, which you should avoid like the plague.
You’re being very melodramatic about the whole thing…
It’s a computer. We want to use it under our terms. End of story.
just_another_person@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•Volume control not working on USB audio device2·2 days agoGood find, but it’s not a kernel issue in this case. The device is recognized as “something”, and outputs audio correctly, you just need to find out where it’s getting it’s audio from, and assign a control channel through Pipewire to control the sink volume. Should be pretty easy, but will require some digging and a quick bit of learning.
just_another_person@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•Volume control not working on USB audio device9·2 days agoIf it’s stuck at max, then Pipewire isn’t controlling it. Try
alsamixer
as a different test, or maybeqasmixer
. You’ll need to select the hardware id for the device to try and change it.You might want to dig around keyword searches for your specific model and “Pipewire” to see if others have a config to sort it if the above works.

(debian 12.11)8·2 days agoFile a bug or issue with the project. I assume the desktop version does this by default because it’s not expected to have offline detection functionality.

👍 have fun with that
You apparently don’t deal with actual end-users, so let me inform you…they absolutely fucking care.
You seem to keep skipping the part where SNAP IS 10X SLOWER.
Get lost with your lazy argument.
You’re not getting it…
A 125MB package like Firefox has up to 5 versions by default kept under the Snap system. Do this 10x across different packages, and suddenly you’re missing a lot of storage you can’t account for.
Second, SNAP IS JUST SLOW. People don’t like when it takes 5-10 seconds to launch a very simple app. Let’s not even get into the performance being absolutely horrendous when you need direct access to memory or GPU. It’s not what people want.
Last, your problem with Nvidia drivers lies with Nvidia themselves. I run a cluster of a thousand instances which never hiccup on the Nvidia server+CUDA drivers.
Desktop is a shit show, and that’s their fault. Don’t blame your misunderstanding of these two things to be the fault of the distro.
just_another_person@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Late to class: Deja Foxx gets schooled in primary but, worse, is late to show grace9·3 days agoTwo things:
- “Blake Morlock” is some unknown blogger that posts rants
- Foxx conceded within an hour of the call
#2 is not odd at all. Where in the fuck did you dig this shit up?
It’s relevant for a few reasons with regard to new users:
- Snap is SLOW
- Snap takes up a massive amount of space
Switching somebody with 256GB of storage to Ubuntu and pointing them to the Gonna software store to install whatever they want is just asking for confusion and problems.
What happened to all my disk space?
Why does it take 8 seconds for a browser to start?
These are new users who expect things to operate as they’ve known them to operate coming from Windows or MacOS. Ubuntu is just problematic to that point of view.
I’ve switched hundreds of desktop users in the past few years, and the above expectations and experience is what made me switch to Fedora.
Ubuntu is problematic at current.

just_another_person@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•'Batman — except useless': Andrew Cuomo's 'cringey' jumper cable stunt backfires50·4 days agoGotta love these aging dickheads who just used POCs as props all the fucking time. This asshat staged these exact same situations for years and put them up as PR bullshit.
Also, did they think this was going to look candid or something? Why was there one camera at Cuomo’s car, then another in the other dudes car? Just two people happened to be filming this TOTALLY NATURAL everyday thing with multiple positions and cameras?
Fucking morons.
