The way systemd adoption was handled. I realized it was a joke, and no longer cared about it. When I was under the illusion, I thought it meant something to use an OS not in line with the establishment. Turns out the establishment just used the FOSS community as another brick in the wall.

We are all trapped on this planet.

I haven't looked back since. Maybe if I started to run my own server again as a hobby, but otherwise I don't see the point. Linux just isn't a good desktop OS for me. I spent more time working against Linux and dealing with its problems than I did getting shit done.

Nvidia driver and x11 is not capable of vsyncing several displays at once, has to swap between which display stays in sync, this has made me angry.

Wayland is like jesus and people praise it up in the sky, but it is quite shit, why?
The mouse cursor lags when then gnome shell compositor is under load.
Why?
Well gnome shell runs like 2000 javascripts, and the javascript engine is single threaded and tied to the main loop, which also handles the fucking mouse.
Gnome-Shelly-Frankentstein lags the moment you open the overview, or search, or whatever you do.
Thus the mouse cursor locks up and lags as well, with every lag and stutter in gnome shell.
Here is the bug report:

It was about 1 AM, my eyes were watery and crusty, having spent 2 hours trying to get mpv working. I had just finished sending a bug report for the libva driver that was pushed the day before, when all I had wanted was to watch some anime and zone out.

Next day, on the way back from work, I passed by the Apple store and bought a 13 inch Macbook Pro and never used desktop linux again.This is not an uncommon story really, for jwz it was audio drivers that drove him to the edge for the gentoo guy it was xorg. Everyone has a breaking point.

What the hell is this? If you want to zone out and watch anime throw in a mint live cd and watch away. You don't even have to install it or have a hard drive. If you can get through posting to this board you can accomplish this much.

Maybe in the future if I get a mac, but for the time being, Linux is alright for what I do. Certainly better than running just Windows. And thanks to virtualization, I can run Windows at the same time and enjoy exclusive software.
>>
>>60985009
No offense but you're an idiot. Linux isn't for idiots. I agree that it should be made more idiot proof but if you drop Linux because you can't figure it out that's still your own responsibility and not something to brag about here. Convenience never comes for free. You pay either with all your privacy or with having to know a little too much about computers. Choose wisely.

It's not about tech, man. I can guarantee you that once you realize how much better the world would be without people too retarded to do simple things, it gets a little passional.
It's about that guy that's in front of you in a line, when you're in a hurry, and he simply forgets to look for his keys in his pocket after he's let you pass.
It's about that person who asks you for directions, and then can't figure them out, and keeps asking again and again after you've given the most clear explanation possible.
It's about that stupid woman who'll look in the rear mirror just to see how her lipstick is looking, and will kill your fucking daughter.
And about those people who feel the need to shill for bad software because it's more comfortable for them to admit that they're just limited and dumb.

Mac users aren't even stupid. Like I said, a lot of us are college students. Even if some aren't exactly tech savvy, they're at least smart enough to use the right tool for the job, something that just works for what they're doing. They use their computers for work that requires some level of intelligence.

Windows users are usually retarded rednecks and /v/ children obsessed with video games. You shouldn't expect them to be very smart.

I'm sending this message from the future from my PS14, which is so advanced it allows to send data to the past through electronic means

From the bottom of my heart, i'd like to apologize to you sonybros for all the shitposting and misinformation i've spread about Bloodborne

I've also transferred my consciousness to a loli robot while waiting for the new generation of consoles, life couldn't be any better right now

>What made you realize you were just wasting your time?
I did realize that multiple times and switched back to normie tier stuff. Then I needed to do more and more stuff and normie OS got even more fiddly / full of bullshit.

In the end there seems to be no "just works" OS. The second you need to do anything different, you need to fiddle with it on advanced level and do all the autistic shit.

I went back to Linux because I'm already used to it that made it mostly advantages. I'm still disappointed about the state of things.

Fundamentally disagreed with GNU.

Couldn't stand 'muh gnu'

Didn't enjoy how everything was a clusterfuck in Linux. Far too many distributions that are basically all the same except for a different theme.

Linus is a twat, so are most the developers for it.

Userbase is 95% argumentative and angsty. Less so with OpenBSD.

Could not stand the trash documentation.

LIked the idea of both userspace and kernel in one solid system, now using customized OpenBSD (Absolutely no GNU software, clang + llvm only. 64 bit libraries only.)

Couldn't find a decent vim keybinds browser (without gnu licensing), so forced to use FIrefox.

Making own browser at the moment.

Use Tor-socks for almost every ex.

Life is good.

Oh, and for what it's worth; I used Windows my entire life before switching to Linux because I didn't want to pay, and couldn't be fucked pirating/keygen.

If anything Linux is a gateway to OS X, the superior Unix.

I don't think you get what I think this anon means. systemd was one of the greatest steps that Linux made towards being a user-friendly OS, and the community fought it tooth and nail because of the "Unix way". That's all the old timers care about and being a tinkerer's OS. They in fact will rabidly fight against anything that "just works" because it encourages standardization.
