A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Microsoft: "Gotta keep all of the telemetries and AI running 24/7 of course!"
Every day I'm closer to trying Linux again.
Please do? What is stopping you anyway?
As someone who has moved from Windows to Linux and has been using it as primary OS for everything and gaming; it's not ready.
I love Linux. But it's not there. It's for tech savvy people. It's simply not user friendly enough for the "normies". I hope it'll happen one day.
I'm no "normie" but Linux is so damned ass backwards my brain just can't cope, some of the times I was unsure if I was asking the OS to change directory or summon Moloch to bring a thousand years of darkness to the world.
I get how you feel. A lot of your existing Windows knowledge is not applicable to Linux so you feel like an old fart that doesn't understand computers when you first start using it.
That being said. Now that I'm over that hump, I get why all the linux nerds are so militant about it. It is an objectively better experience if you compare it to Windows from a power user level. It's a lot like gaming on a PC. Yes, you have to build it. Yes, you have to tinker with games to get them to run "just right". But it is a better experience once you get there.
Linux always had the problem of highly technical people building wonderful things with a GUI that looks like it was designed by a third grader. Mainly because the majority of Linux contributors think the GUI is some fad that will blow over soon. I'm exaggerating of course, the last 10 years has seen some massive improvements. But the GUI being an afterthought still has a bit of truth to it.
You exaggerate but only slightly.
How is Linux with flight sticks? With Steam now available in Linux, lots of game compatibility is taken care of, but I would love my peripherals to work as well.
Fedora linux: If Microsoft does this why not us?
