Fine, I'll give this strategy a shot too: Linux is crap because when I switch USB audio interface with a switcher the audio becomes extremely borked likely because of buffer settings somehow changing, to me it feels like the buffer is too small and then all these audio crackling issues start propping up.

Windows doesn't have this issue whatsoever, it's only when I switch back to Linux in the switcher that the audio is borked.

Oké lets see how good crowd trouble shooting is...

Nobara on Fedora can not have the exact same mouse being plugged in multible times. They seem to merge into one and all but one will be ignored (at random).

Okey, without joking*. I have seen quite some people who are unable to Google anything. But I guess that's why LMGTFY was made.

[*] this is actually a bug, not a joke. If you happen to know the answer. Please share it, it's driving me nuts

Ngl, i love linux so much more and would never go back to windows but right now my audio jack doesn't work for my new pc build.

I've contacted the manufacturer of the motherboard, they say to try Windows

I've posted on linux questions subreddit, nothing replied

I've posted on EndeavourOS forums, got views, not replies.

I've gone so into the weeds I'm trying to remap pins because I'm assuming the manufacturer relies on something Windows pre-configures so audio will play but it never makes it out of the port but it's been weeks and I can't solve it.

Again, I'd never go back to windows but damn do I feel stranded rn.

I used to do some linux training for new hires at my old job. The company had a training room with a rack of servers for lab work.

It was a training on how to deploy the product on a customer server. I personally wrote the instructions and tested them on the lab machines after a fresh install.

I had others test the lab instructions. I even had people from non-tech roles verify that they too could do the labs by following the instructions.

Still I get a guy in the training complaining that "this doesn't work" and I can see from the error on his screen that he must have skipped one of the steps in the lab instructions.

He's not even trying to figure it out. Even though others are finishing, he just decided that it doesn't work and gave up.

I've been in the comments section once or twice. The solution was "RTFM."

this is the way. the best way to get linux support is to claim something isnt there or working. instant flood of reply from nerds and adhs ppl.. i am not advocating it, but OP is wrong...

Windows is better... oh, really? Linux is like a breath of fresh air for me, and in two years of using it, I have never noticed or encountered any critical problems or bugs, but when there is a problem, it is usually not so difficult to solve it because there are resources and people who can help.

My only regret is that I didn't try Linux a few years ago.

Then ask why no one has patched this well-known bug after all these years, and get flooded with ‘anyone can contribute’ comments.

Why switch to second person in the last panel?

Sure, this applies most of the time. My big rendering workstation and Asus laptop run Mint so flawlessly, I was kicking myself for not trying this sooner. My brand new Dell G16 7630 has been a special kind of hell with over two months of forum diving. The keyboard backlight is being a crackhead. The video drivers are a chaotic mess that I'm wary of updating lest my machine completely freezes/bricks for the ~20th time, necessitating a Timeshift.

So, yeah, Linux is great, but that is not everyone's experience. For me, it's only fully usable 66% of the time. I'm still going at it, but those are shitty numbers. We FOSS evangelists need to acknowledge that usability, end-user support, and compatibility are an utter shitshow for the average schmuck. Also, this meme is glowing radioactive evidence of the toxicity undermining the FOSS movement.

When we start taking ownership of all that AND fixing the experience, then we can finally have the Year of Linux on the Desktop. Or we can sit here, say "hurr durr, look at stupid end-user," and wonder why normies refuse to switch to Linux.
