I loooove my openSUSE desktop. 11 was the last straw. No amount of AI is going to bring me back.
I HATE advertisements, and I paid for Pro but it seemed like they didn’t care. They want to milk me for everything I’m worth.
Good thing we have options. Linux has gotten so good, it’s better than Windows 11 while letting me decide how to use the OS. Big learning curve, but it’s smooth sailing when you get past it.
Our ticketing system has “untrained user” and “works as designed, not as expected” as options. Can’t fix the problem if you don’t know its nature.
I guess one man’s vanilla is another man’s mummy wraps.
And what options? When were we ever given a real choice?

Its such a weird thing to argue over, and looking at the downvotes, it seems like people here on Lemmy are just really pissed off at people these days (or they are conflict bots). No good things will come from that level of anger.
You’ve been arguing so much in the comments that you’ve forgotten OP’s stated story and adopted your own fiction to defend. Like you said, it’s a weird thing to argue over, because what you’re talking about is not what anybody else is talking about. That’s why you’re getting down voted. But sure, convince yourself it’s pissed off people or “conflict bots,” whatever the hell that is. More fiction for your la-di-da world.
Where I come from if someone gracefully asked if I’d be leaving soon I’d have no problem accommodating them if it suited me fine. The operative word is suited, because I don’t owe strangers anything. I can choose to be generous, or be in my right to reserve my generosity for someone who is more deserving. Doing so doesn’t make me a bad person.
However, this is not what happened according to OP. The person suggested they hurry because they needed their table. That’s so rude I’m completely blown away at your effort here in the comments to white wash it and scold others for not being doormats like you want to be. Have fun with that.
Yup, living my best life after getting married. Two kids, two cars, and a house in the suburb. I worked my ass off through my twenties and only in my mid thirties did it start to all come together.
Why is it all so great? Wife had a windfall from her mother who died from cancer as well as from her grandparents who passed away soon after. Bittersweet, mostly bitter. It doesn’t feel right to me most days, but at least our children have a good chance to get there faster than we did. For us we don’t have to worry about retirement as long as we keep that money invested, and the world doesn’t go sideways.
I think if childcare and college were free people could basically have the same benefit. That money can go into retirement and a mortgage instead.
Adding that zorin was great as well but it’s Debian-based so driver support was behind enough that some games wouldn’t launch for me.
I like fedora but I’m really loving opensuse tumbleweed on both my desktop and laptop. I have Nvidia rtx cards and support is just a few mouse clicks post-image. I get better FPS now than I did in Windows 11.
I wanted to like it and I tried it over and over but I could not for the life of me get opensuse aeon or kalpa to work on my desktop when tumbleweed works perfectly. As soon as I installed the Nvidia drivers it went belly up and I couldn’t find help online.
I’m still new to Linux so I’ll accept that I need more experience but I can’t help but feel like a degree in computer science is a recommended prereq for this stuff since there just doesn’t seem to be solid documentation to get you through it.
That experience made me take microos off my server and put in proxmox instead.
Microsoft Solitaire on Android. The ads were driving me nuts so I went to pay for the app. If I recall they wanted almost 10 bucks a month for that shit. Deleted, forgotten, until now.
Mine was a very similar path to yours. Way too many little observations that alone could have been shrugged off as a rounding error but taken together it was clear that shit wasn’t adding up.
Then I started listening to biblical scholars and now there’s nothing that could convince me otherwise. It’s a collection of human literature. The good and the bad that had come from it is only a reflection of our humanity.
It’s like that episode of South Park where half the town supported the war in Iraq and the other half protested the war. Except in this case it’s all the same person.
Based on some articles I read I’m not too surprised. The guy sounded like he was getting looney.
Spot on. Real life isn’t like the internet, when you act the aggressor the victim isn’t going to down vote your behavior, they’re going to run away or defend themselves.
Trust me, coworkers have opinions on this.
Well, that solidifies my plan for graphene os on this 7pro and once fairphone comes state side I’m going all in. Been moving to Proton services and this will be the first and last Google phone I get. So sick of their backtracking on everything I enjoy. Fuck Google.
Oh I am so glad you’re ok. The second you called for a trigger warning my heart just reached right on out for you. I was saying to myself out loud, “oh no, peanuts4life are you ok?” and then you said you were. Such a relief.
And your suicide advice? Top notch. I’m going to make sure that every time I hear someone threaten their own life, I’m going to tell them “Don’t. First you have to confess your pain. Don’t you know how different people’s perceptions can be?”
Then they’re going to say “Yo, you’re right. I must never kill myself, but especially not before confessing my pain.”
Such worldly wisdom, I’m practically speechless.
This looks like an AI-generated fever dream nightmare.
