No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Mint requires running a terminal command to disable the stupid printer notification.
It also doesn't support Logitech mice out of the box, you have to search for the solution, which is a third party app to support a 10 year old (or brand new) mouse.
Stop acting like it's a direct swap and people will be less hesitant to switch.
Be open and honest that not everything is an easy transition, there will be hiccups, and there may be some things for which an easy solution simply doesn't exist.
If you use Excel every day, switching is likely not pragmatic, as the OSS solutions simply don't compare yet and will always fall short if you use tables (about 90% of the spreadsheets I've ever been sent).
Also, did you even listen to OP? Linux isn't an option. Wow.
What do you mean by "support" here? I'm pretty sure Logitech mice will work fine, but you might need a tool to change on-device settings.
100%.
Logitech mice work fine out of the box as a generic mouse. You only need third party software if you want to mess around with the Logitech special-sauce stuff.
Neither Windows or Mac have 'support' for that either, until you install Logitech's software. Of course, Logitech as a company don't provide any software for Linux.
So if anything, it's not that "Linux doesn't support Logitech" it's that Logitech doesn't Support Linux.
thisthisthisthis. I use Excel tables constantly. It's a common theme with LibreOffice. Got something simple, maybe a doc with a few headers? Great, no problem, you can interoperate just fine. But go off the beaten path and you inevitably run into trouble. If I were sharing documents with exactly nobody I could happily switch, but the reality is I have to work with other people. And Windows/Office is what other people use. This is what I mean when I say Linux only works if you're a dev. There's lots of excellent text editors and IDEs and compilers and the like, but outside of that verdant oasis it's a desert of broken non-options.
Regarding Mint, Bluetooth is maddeningly inconsistent. I've had stuff that works perfectly... exactly once, then never ever again, no matter what unspeakable tortures I inflict on the Bluetooth settings or what arcane wizardry I attempt in the terminal.
