dropped arch for windows like distro. God I should just use windows. Linux is abusive but I can't leave it :(
LTS Ubuntu? Come on, tell us you were using the "Stable" 19.04 branch. I had flashplayer crash on me and after forcing shutdown it won't boot because of "LVM not working". It dropped down to a console shell but the lvm commands aren't there and there were some acpi errors. Don't fall for the 9 month support "Stable" meme, it's a shitfest playground, Fedora is more reliable for being just 13 months of support in my experience. There's a reason they put the LTS button in the ubuntu page on green and the latest version greyed out
Aiden Evans
was using 18 faggot. Stable.

I keep a Mac around for this reason only; using other people's setups.

This is the same criticism over and over again on Jow Forums
>some hardware manufacturer makes their product less usable by not following standards on their drivers or even purposefully making their product impossible without their specific proprietary driver which they retain complete control over
> driver doesn't work with operating system
>Jow Forums blames the os and mocks the people who use it instead of blaming the hardware manufacturer
that said linuxers should have a spare old windows or apple laptop lying around to prevent this.
I mainly use Debian but have a windows laptop lying around to deal with this
I know I do. That said, even windows and apple still have driver issues from time to time which really in my mind means its time to take hardware manufacturers to task for this practice
Nathaniel Fisher
I really don't get this meme. I've been using Arch since 2015 and the only X issues I've had were related to me writing the config wrong when I first started. Pacman has never broken anything on me before.

What a Stupid niggerfaggot

>implying using xrandr or arandr is hard.
Blake Perry
Wouldn't it be nice to use an operating system you don't constantly have to make excuses for?
Oliver Carter
you shouldn't have to use a different computer to fix this. This actually happened a while ago and I've been running arch since with no problems.
Asher Phillips
I've literally never touched xorg. Shit just werks. Legend has it, this wasn't always the case. It's funny how Linux users will go out their way to trash talk a distro, but when a Windows user does, watch out!
Aaron Young

Bentley Phillips
wouldn't it be nice if you didn't think was was okay to get raped by hardware manufacturers who charge you for a product and think they can dictate exactly how you use it for the rest of it's lifespan
Adrian Moore
in my experience the moment you do anything manual with xorg you'll have a cascade of issues
why do you lincucks always have to deal with workarounds?
Joshua Wilson
Fedora has worked flawlessly with any TVs or projectors. Better than windows even.
Joshua Ramirez
Dunno what you talkin' bout m8. I've been using an ubuntu laptop at work an i frequently connect it to multiple monitors, tv's and projectors with hdmi, dvi and displayport and they all work fine. Tried with gnome, openbox and i3 (using arandr).
Grayson Nguyen
you fell for the leenox meme
Jackson Allen
Apple doesn't use HDMI.
Luke Wood
>non LTS ubuntu is an unstable mess >LTS ubuntu has packages as old as debian >both have shitty defaults ubuntu blown the fuck out
Can confirm have had a similar situation with ubuntu
Another situation i had was that i couldn't login with my LDAP server through the gui cli worked fine but turned out i had to restart some random system d service i thought the whol point of rebooting was that all services got reset but apparently not
David Martin
>uses ubuntu >bames arch is this the power of debian butthurt
Zachary Peterson
just use windows you colossal pantloads for fuck's sake none of you peons will ever create anything useful or successful at all, there's no reason to be so counterculture and use garbage OSes for internet coolpoints
Leo Morgan
>Ubongo You fucked up. You either install Debian or you don't touch any apt distro.
Michael Campbell
There's a reason why basically all developers, programmers, managers (people that matter) use the Apple Macbook Pro.
Zachary Kelly
>wants to use an obscure OS >gets mad that hardware manufacturers don't want to waste a ton of resources to support said obscure OS >they're raping meeeee linux fags, when will they learn?
if you don't know how to use linux you should be a windows kid instead
Luis Myers
I have the opposite experience. Linux always works fine and MacBooks are always a problem, especially with projectors.
Alexander Sanders
You have obviously never needed things to just work when they are supposed to (eg this post). I have enough skill with linux, its just that Ubuntu was meant to be the care free hands off non enthusiast get shit done distro with low maintenance. I don't want to fuck around with my kernel breaking every upgrade because I just want to program more shit.
I'm seeing a trend of Ubuntu+i3 in recent distro threads. I know its ironic with shit gnome utils but it just werks.
Obscure os? Gtfo kid, you clearly don't know anything
Aiden Wood
Ubuntu desktop is kind of shit. They clearly shifted their focus towards servers more and don't really care as much about desktop. You're better off with Fedora where they actually work on the desktop and test it.
Levi Ramirez
It also doesn't require brain
Charles Jackson
>using Niguntu
Hunter Cruz
LTS ubuntu is a shitfest too, i put it on a t450s i picked for my mom and every fucking time it has a new problem, the trackpad stop working, if you hook it up to a tv to watch a movie it glitch the shit out of the internal monitor and you have to reboot, you hook up an android phone to transfer some files and the file manager shit itself, its a circus. i unironically put 40 minutes in installing an configuring a basic void installation with xfce and just some programs she need to do basic windows media player style videos and it never had a fucking problem. a fucking ROLLING RELEASE distro more stable than the industry standard corporate distro. clown world.
