Linux nerds hate to hear Linux is for nerds. The OS is too difficult for the average person and instead of taking in that feedback and fixing the issues, the community just downvotes it and sticks their head in the sand.

Linux isn’t the problem the user is! Yeah, that attitude ain’t helping.

    The steam hardware survey showed Linux has 3.8% while Mac has 2.2% and windows the remaining 94%

    Desktop Linux is niche, it will always be niche if they continue to ignore the user experience. Linux is for nerds, Linux nerds love that.

    Important context: White male 20something, big expensive sedan, Early 2000s YMMV.

    On the highway in the Deep South United States. Pulled over for speeding. Police wanted to search the car. I refused, they called in a K9.

    I was pulled to the side of the road and sat down in the grass while we waited for the dog. Bunch of other officers started rolling up and just hanging out expecting what I can only imagine to be the biggest bust in a while.

    The K9 got a hit and they searched the entire car. They found a glass pipe buried in an old cigar box in the back of the car in a book bag. The cops were absolutely and completely confused. “There has to be more, the dog woulda never hit on this if there wasn’t more.” The cops kept searching.

    I wasn’t handcuffed or anything, someone was just watching me. A pipe was a misdemeanor where I’m from, but jail time/probation where I was stopped.

    After an hour of searching they found nothing else and handed me my pipe and box and told me to throw it in the woods and to leave. Wasn’t worth the paperwork.

    “Reid Hoffman has a reality check for entrepreneurs: if you’re serious about starting a company, you should say goodbye to binge-watching your favorite Netflix show after dinner or sleeping in on the weekends—you need to be on the work grind all hours of the day.”

    You’re clearly not committed to reading articles either. “It’s a headline, it must be about me. Let me make sure I share my opinion without reading the article!”

    Opinions based on false perceptions when the truth is 20seconds of discovery away, is just willful and lazy ignorance. Thats not just a red flag, thats also red hat behavior. You can do better than that if you want to.

    6a latest updates including security patches. I’ve experienced a few really frustrating bugs and would like the communities help to figure out possible causes or solutions.

    1. Google assistant crashes after the trigger phrase is said.

    Solution: google app clear cache and data

    1. Alarms quick tile is not showing the next alarm, but is showing the next due date/time associated with a task in Microsoft to-do. Clicking the tile opens Microsoft todo to the task. This occurs even though the next alarm is before this tasks due date/time.

    Why isn’t the tile opening the clock/alarm app?!?!?!?

    Solution: ?? Help ??

    1. Poor modem reception for lte/5g networks. Sitting in the car, Girlfriends iPhone had strong 5g, pixel kept dropping network and not operating voice or data. Restarts didn’t work.

    Solution: ?? Help ??
