You use Arch, btw, right?

In Canada my girlfriend was exposed. She called the testing places to tell them, and to book a test. They told her no, and to go away.

When I realized the already small percentage of people that are trying to use this system were being denied, I disabled it. It’s actually useless.

No. That’s why we have healthcare, legalized weed, decriminalized drugs, and have almost zero shootings.

I hate having to reach to the top of my 7" phone to type in an address.

Again, doesn’t matter if others have had the problem, because there is a way to fix it and plenty of distros ship with it fixed out of the box. Just because you picked a distro that has the problem, and you are too dumb to fix it doesn’t mean linux is broken. Having a choice in distros and packages is a fundamental principle of linux and that sets it apart from Windows where users have no choices.

Ubuntu, Fedora, and Manjaro have it broken out of the box. Please, tell me which Distro has it fixed out of the box? I would love to try and prove you wrong.

Also you’re literally proving my point. Linux doesn’t “just work” when you need to figure out how to fix it.

How about in Windows when I plug my gopro into it and double click on a video file that it takes 10 seconds before it will start playing? In linux it starts playing instantly. Have you ever tried to run docker services in Windows? It’s an absolute shitshow, but in linux it works flawlessly. See? I can give plenty examples of things working like shit in Windows that work perfectly in Linux. You actually are just an idiot, with no experience, and no idea how computer systems work.

GoPro files run instantly on my PC. Try not having such a potato PC? Not to mention it sounds like in both situations Windows DOES work, in my example, Steam does NOT reach full speed.

What about setting custom keyboard shortcuts? Can’t do it in Windows to the extent of Linux. What about fully customizing your desktop environment? Can’t do it in Windows.

Sounds like you need to learn what words mean. Keyboard shortcuts aren’t preventing Windows from working. Customization isn’t the same as “just working”. Windows does just work. I am not arguing with some asshole on Lemmy about Steam speeds on Windows. It just works.

So just keep trying to cope with the fact that you’re an idiot and you need to used a dumbed down OS that sends off telemetry data and forces ads on you. It’s okay. You’re a dumb dumb and are willing to put up with the shitshow of Windows. It’s okay if you cope by shitting on the superior OS, but it just makes you look like an idiot at the end of the day.

I would use Linux, but it doesn’t work, and the ‘easy fix’ doesn’t exist. Linux is the shit show. Has toxic people like you crying and coping and defending it. Sorry it sucks so bad it doesn’t even get networking, the most basic functionality in 2023, right.

I will tell you how to fix it when you admit that you’re an idiot that has been running their idiot mouth about things they don’t understand… and you apologize for doing it.

Typical response. You don’t know how to fix it. Keep yapping your fat mouth, nothing you say is true.

Enjoy acting like a know it all, when in reality you cannot fix a simple Steam speed issue on Linux lmao.

Okay, then tell me how to fix it. You say it’s easily fixable, tell me.

Or do what everyone else does, tell me how I’m stupid, the problem is me, and then refuse to help fix this “easily fixable” issue. It’s because you don’t know how to fix it, but you can’t admit Linux is broken.

You’re telling me that my experience means nothing because other people aren’t having the issue?

Here’s a new thread. See how the first reply is also talking about how this is a common issue, and links to a post from January 2015?

Steam on Linux has been broken for a decade and there’s no concrete fix. Sorry your OS is garbage.

The fact all of the Linux nerds who defend Linux and tell me how great it is can’t even tell me how to fix it. I thought Linux was so awesome, just worked, and you have full control over it? So then, smarty pants, tell me how to fix this issue that has been an issue for over a decade. I’ll wait.

Meanwhile I’ll keep downloading games on Windows at 1900Mbps.

If you say anything positive about anything non-FOSS, you’re downvoted on Lemmy.

Lemmy is a massive echo chamber.

So then what’s the issue?

Steam downloads at 1900Mbps on Windows.

Steam downloads at 120Mbps on Linux.

Sounds like a Linux problem. Cope harder, though.

How?

And the fact you think it’s okay to call someone a moron because in their experience Windows works better, is insane.

Can’t wait for Lemmy to fail. Oh wait, it already is. Stats go brrrr 📉📉📉

I just hate the fact if 10mm is too big, I can get 9mm, but if 15/16 is too big, fuck me, I guess. Bringing the full toolbox over because what random fucking bullshit number comes before it?

Like I’m here to fix shit, not do math to figure out which socket is one size smaller.

Ya because I got called a moron yesterday because Linux refuses to download steam games at max speed, and it’s somehow my fault. Lol

Reddit is doing better than Lemmy. Have you seen Lemmy statistics lately? 📉

Edit: Lemmy users mad about facts.

They also push their VPN a lot. Every week or two I open Firefox and they send me to their VPN page on their website telling me to try it.

Like no. I’m not interested in paying for a rebranded mullvad.

That’s an extremely small minority, and you can turn it off if you want.

Already was.

I want to keep it, otherwise all of my everyday devices become paperweights. Thanks.

If you’re not implying that, then your reply was pointless.

Ok, well I’m not going to stop using my fitness band or Android auto because I’m a paranoid person. Might as well never leave your home and never use any devices connected to the internet.
