I was so excited about Mint, seemed like the perfect distro to try but then I had nothing but issues on an laptop with nvidia. PopOS worked better right out of the box though
🤷♂️ Downvotes are meaningless, I’d rather see them give an actual counterargument if they have one but im used to it from reddit
That’s not really a good solution although it is a temporary workaround.
Besides, at the end of the day, shouldn’t the admins and mods here curate the content according to the community’s guidelines and spirit? If someone started spamming undesired content on a forum you’re administrating, the answer wouldn’t be “all the users can just block it if it’s an issue”. I don’t think it should be the answer here either
This whole fediverse feels very shaky tbh, we have this issue now but as someone who is usually on kbin there’s been issues like these from the start - posts not getting propagated to other instances, mod actions not being sent or updated, missing entire domains because of the bugs in the filter, etc. Add to that legitimate choices like defederation and domain blocking, it just feels fractured and nonfunctional because I still need a separate account on every instance to actually participate on it.
I know it’s a FOSS project with no guarantees and everything these people do is in their free time but I really wish stability and basic functionality was the first thing they focused on, otherwise everything else is in vain since it’s on top of an unstable foundation.
Sure, but whoever’s fault it was didn’t really matter to me at the time. I just remember being annoyed at everyone constantly praising linux and saying how easy it is nowadays while I’m just jumping from one issue into another, that experience made me delay moving my main PC to it since I also have an nvidia GPU there. Had to go through like 3 different ways of installing drivers, various weird containers or bottles or wine and lutris or proton just for it all to constantly freeze or crash my PC.
It was a Dell laptop, not sure about specs but it’s at least a few years old model, nothing too high end. The plan was to keep it as a small home server for hosting various stuff, services, media in the end, with varying success.
