I've gone back to reddit a few times from searches, and after spending time away it is really apparent how negative most of the comments over there are.

For example, anytime someone asks for help, someone always has to show up and get angry that they didn't search instead of asking. Then a third person shows up and says that a search brought them to this thread.. and no one ever answers the question. Thanks reddit!

Posts and comments are on the rise!

(although the posts are all coming from like 3 people)

Am I confused, or is that link not a forum?

Thanks for inspiring me to search around GitHub - I managed to successfully resume from suspend after an hour or so (still doesn't work in Wayland, but I'm making progress i guess).

Next up is addressing the weird horizontal tearing in all my games!

And the ads... There is a correlation there I'm sure.

I started with Ubuntu back in the day, and used that (and its variants) as my only distro up until ~2017, when i used Mint and Fedora in university. I started messing around with Arch maybe 3 or 4 years ago, then tried Pop!_OS, then went back to Arch, then tried NixOS and have stuck there since.

I mean I find them useful often, but in this case I didn't like the results in the sense that after trying for hours my problem wasn't resolved 🙂

I have tried with many models online, presumably all of which are more robust than local. Will give it another shot soon

I am more willing to learn things than the average user I'd say - I work in IT and answer incredibly stupid questions more or less daily. Also, im not a shell expert, but I definitely know my way around bash/zsh/cmd/PS, given the system. I have also been using Linux on and off for around 15 years as well - I had things work well in the past.

I'm guessing my custom built PC might be making things harder. The Nvidia card probably doesn't help, but I feel like my MOBO is probably responsible for my sleep issues. Maybe I just need to try Pop again, I'm currently running NixOS which is my favourite OS in theory, but in practice configuration is a brute force guessing game.

Does that mean there is a way to downgrade Spotify to remove audiobooks?

Correct. But I've heard tons of people say Nvidia support is fine now, and that amd is still problematic. I have also tried Pop OS

I wish I could experience this pain free Linux I keep hearing about on this website. Programs constantly stutter and glitch out, and if the computer goes to sleep while running my Linux partition it absolutely will not wake up again. I know this is a skill issue, but I've already spent many hours troubleshooting this... I've tried several distros as well. Even the steam compatibility everyone raves about only seems to work for me if I don't use wayland. I can say with certainty that the average person would be completely unwilling to deal with the experience I have had.
