Do you guys have higher tolerance to buggy bs? Are you all gaslighting people to get higher adoption? Does it just work? If so… How??

I’ve tried about every distro in multiple different laptops/desktops, amd gpus, basically every possible idea and there’s always weird ass bugs and issues and a ton of involuntary learning involved.

edit. Any chances you guys could suggest me one setup that “just works” no ifs and no buts? Or does it not exist in the Linux world?

edit2. Since people are asking for specifics I’m going to pick one random distro I’ve tried recently and list the issues I’ve had:

  • On Arch fresh install with archinstall, everything default pmuch:

Immediately greeted with this. thread discussing it here.

I could live with that though, kinda…

Gnome apps in Arch are taking multiple seconds to open/tab back into and freezing, no idea how to debug it.

Could also live with it…

The killer one is that the battery life just sucks badly. about 15W idling with tlp, for comparison Debian with tlp gives me sub 5Watts. But again, Debian comes with a whole different set of issues.

I’ve only listed the one I’ve tried most recently, but the experience is similar with all distros I’ve tried.

    It’s very strange that you’ve made a post about bugs but chose not to list any of the bugs.

    Like, how can we make a recommendation if we don’t know what types of issues you’re running into? What type of hardware you have? What expectations you have?

    It just kind of screams of disgruntled user syndrome. These are community lead projects so, yes, they’ll have bugs. But if people never say what they are or what issues they had with what they used, the best the rest of us can do is just guess!

      Sorry if I made it seem like the post was about bugs. It’s about me asking what is the most seamless experience you can have on Linux?

      I’m not particularly trying to post a laundy list of bugs that I’m trying to fix, because frankly I don’t want to fight them tooth and nail.

      I’m just trying to figure out if people put up with that and it’s not a problem for them, or if there’s a setup that you dont have to worry about that.
