The average user does not want to see that and does not need to see that. That’s how you end up with thousands of support requests of “why is my computer showing these errors?”
Things should be abstracted from the users by default. There’s no need for grandma to see a console output every time windows needs to update.
Like half of war propaganda can be reduced to this.
Next time the IS is at war all the tiktok girlies are going to be an invaluable asset
It’s only easier than windows if you’re used to using and fixing Linux. Windows doesn’t require maintenance and troubleshooting for the most part. If something doesn’t work, you just restart and 99% of the time it does.
I’ll add a few more
Lightroom doesn’t work at all, needing either a reboot to launch windows or a VM that struggles with performance. OSS alternatives won’t really handle the size of libraries im working with from limited experience with them.
Multiple displays of different resolutions and refresh rates wouldn’t work properly (though I hear this one is becoming less of an issue with the new DE software)
Nvidia drivers
I could see it happening if your job primarily involves talking to people sat on the other side of the desk.
I’ve found that most people on this site don’t care about copyright in any form, so they’ll just ignore it like everything else
It is. The corn is all dying and is so monogenetic that it is all susceptible to the same diseases.
That doesn’t make the point irrelevant, it makes it even more likely to happen. Most of us don’t want to play on shitty, self-hosted servers and I’ll gladly remove that option to have a more secure game server.
Hot take, but games don’t need to be active for decades. Everything dies eventually. After 10 years there’s no need to keep running the game servers.
Oh they teach it, most people (honestly including myself), just don’t care.
I really couldn’t give a shit what license code I write for work is under.
Only major problem is when software is reused for future games and releasing server binaries makes attack vectors much easier to find. Apex legends has a major issue with this where a significant amount of code was reused from previous games that have server code available, and hackers have absolutely used it as a testing ground for all kinds of cheats.
The reason I consider this sloppy is because he altered default behavior. Done properly, an injection like this probably could have been done with no change to default behavior, and we’d be even less likely to have gotten lucky.
Looking back we can see all the signs pointing to it, but it still took a lot of getting lucky to find it.
I’ve always considered the “source is open so people can check for vulnerabilities” saying a bit ironic, because I’d bet 99% of us never look, nor could find it if we were looking. The bystander effect is definitely here as we all just assume someone else has audited it.
This is a huge wake up call to OSS maintainers that they need to review code a lot more thoroughly. This is far from the last time we’re going to see this, and it probably wouldn’t have been caught if the attacker hadn’t been sloppy
It’s a major inconvenience and I’ll stick to one. If it can’t be accessed from Lemmy.world it’s not really my problem tbh and I’ll just act like it doesn’t exist.
That works for single drive systems or 2 drive systems, but starts to become a problem when you have 5+ drives with no raid, so important applications can be installed to the faster, higher priority drive, while less critical ones can be installed to a slower one.
It’s one of those big things that is hard to adjust to coming from Windows.
Windows just doesn’t use the terminal and would rather you launch it from the start menu.
Even if it’s an NVIDIA problem, it’s still just a “Linux” problem for a non-experienced user
I’d still prefer it to the terminal. I get to choose installation locations and it’s easier to configure.
+1 to all these issues.
I tried a similar setup and eventually gave up after the monitor problems. Having 4 displays with different resolutions and refresh types just doesn’t seem to work at all.
I’m not a super casual user, but there’s no way in hell I’m going to try to dive into source to try to understand a bug in my OS. I’m just going to work around it and never think of it again.
Making users make a very major decision before they even install an OS is definitely not a good way to retain users, especially when there’s someone saying they’re wrong no matter what they pick
I gave up on doing this after a few weeks of multiple restarts per day. Until Linux can do everything Windows can (Adobe Products, Anti-Cheats, etc) I’m just stuck to windows 100% of the time.
