In some Linux distributions it blocks you from installing system packages via pip, often there are then packages which can be installed via your distros package manager.
With arch for example:
sudo pacman -S python-'package'
Or, as others mentioned using venv.
Also, some tools have plugins to provide vim controls for them.
I know at least and use these:
There are probably more…
For me, it’s hardware support, i.e my laptops fingerprint sensor just isn’t supported, for the speakers to work I had to find a script that remapped the speakers, multiple desktops (especially with different resolutions) are a pain.
But the killer at the moment is a good solution to manage and post process my raw photos. Went from Lightroom to On1 Photo RAW…unfortunately DarkTable is still not there yet. Also still missing the affinity suite on Linux :-(
Also, sadly these tools also don’t run well in a VM
Jup, Im having an NTP issue on my win10 machine If you search for it you find the same 5 “solutions” from dozens of content farms.
I also like that with the rest-server you can configure it with append-only, so even if someone wants to encrypt or delete the data they are not able to modify the existing backup
As far as I know you can install Mint with KDE
For filesystems I have another gripe: if I move a file to another directory and I want to swap to the directory I just copied the stuff to I have to enter the whole path again…
Yeah and there is a big issue. I would place myself as quite tech savvy, but last time i looked for a distrobI got overwhelmed… Good thing: there are questionnaires that lead you to a good enough suggestion… Back then it proposed mint
But then the next question: which desktopp environment?
I installed on my huawei matebook and it worked okay-ish, but it had one dealbreaker: even with a lot of tinkering there was no way I got standby or hibernation to work. Which is a must for me…
So I removed mint and installed kubuntu… Now standby and even hibernate work (kind of) But it totally craps up when I try to use my external monitor together with the internal screen… Even a lot of terminal tinkering later I don’t have it working… Oh and the speakers still crap now
There is a lit of information around how to maybe get stuff working, but a lot of it requires a lot of upfront knowledge:
EmI do love tinkering, but sometimes it’s really frustrating even for me. No way I could my GF to try that out…
Probably a bit more polished UX (especially for not too tech-savy people)
but I’d say the biggest difference is integrated multidevice support, either via their cloud or selfhosted…
