And it totally does break, it's just that people are familiar with the ways windows breaks, and know how to work around it.

They couldn't, didn't you read? They were stuck in vim!

Microsoft is as ubiquitous as it is specifically because of decades long efforts to be the default in government offices around the world. So the Indian government using Linux definitely counts as a win.

Seems like they should already have a pulseaudio version working by now. Or I guess someone told electron that pipewire was going to replace pa, so they held off on any support whatsoever?

I don't think matrix supports game streaming. revolt voice chat didn't even work for me, which made sense because it had a big "warning, this is deprecated, a replacement is being worked on". Don't know if they finished it. Never heard of guilded.

Framework laptops have it as a BIOS setting. I keep mine at 60%, and before a trip I bump it back to 100%.

Shoot, can't believe I forgot that. Here it is

They've also never bothered to support streaming audio on Linux. Fwiw, if anyone reading this uses discord on Linux and has hit this, please add a comment/vote for this ticket. It already has over 3x the votes of the next highest Voice & Video feedback ticket, but maybe we just need it to compete with the 10k+ vote tickets.

Or create a viable alternative to discord, that would also be fine with me.

Edit: link to the issue

The new terminology will be never ending. The unix philosophy is to make small tools that do one thing really well (vs a single large monolithic OS that does a ton of things half decently), so every single component in and around Linux has a name, its own set of maintainers, and pages of documentation you could spend hours to months learning (depending on the tool).

On top of that, the open source ecosystem isn't centralized, there's no CEO telling everyone the one way to do things. Instead, everyone is free to build whatever they want according to whatever design patterns they choose. This is a blessing and a curse. There are packages that work nicely with other packages, and there are many you probably shouldn't waste your time with.

All this is to say, I recommend always having a goal in mind when digging into Linux, and get good at skimming new terminology that you think is relevant to your goal. Be able to quickly understand what something does and how it's used, but avoid going down the rabbit hole for every little thing.

That's not to say you shouldn't satisfy your curiosity, just know that you can be overwhelmed quickly if you don't know how to tune out the noise. Being goal oriented helps me stay on task as I learn.

Good luck!

I think since the stats are based on web statistics, the steam deck probably won't be counted unless the user switches to desktop mode and browses the web.

Though it's possible the steam client accessing the steam store might count.

Wait what? I'm saying what you said is correct. Am I the one who's confused here?

Edit: oh maybe you meant that's the excuse people give for being wrong? lol
