how do you see complaints like this helping fix hardware support issues?

it’s not like people don’t know that wlan support on linux isn’t great, or that nvidia drivers are bad, it’s just that the community doesn’t have enough resources to fix them.

if we want real fixes we need to either have the companies making these products start writing drivers for linux, or more volunteers writing drivers, neither of which sound like something that’ll come soon.

I’ve honestly rarely seen negative responses to posts actually asking for help (at least here), the only reason people are responding to this post negatively is because OP’s post can sound arrogant and ignorant.

ignorant because they are restating a common complaint that everyone’s heard many times already (that some devices have bad support) and arrogant because they are pointing the blame at volunteers rather than the companies making those products that don’t support linux, volunteers that a lot of people here respect

I’m sure the responses would’ve been very different if it was a post asking for help rather than a post of complaints

i mean Bluetooth never works well on any hardware in my experience, I always just avoid it like the plague

probably just a badly supported network card/chip, have you considered getting a better supported one?

the community you posted this on also has a pinned weekly linux help thread: https://programming.dev/post/19443450

idk, never worried about it but my main computer doesn’t have it so I just passively use that for important things

cameras aren’t really about resolution or detail these days though

Just put them at the poles??

how would you even start with the cooling? that sounds like a nightmare

thank god it looks like they’ve stopped using genai slop for the article images

oh damn that’s so cheap

is this sarcasm?

ngl web apps are even worse, they’re so bloated and janky, I wish everything had a native app

ltt is a tech lifestyle content company and I don’t like tech lifestyle + the existence of media conglomerates

omg ddcci :)

The problem with something like this is that people start to dislike it more with experience. People have to be less experienced to become more experienced, and so it’s a certainty that there will be a lot of moderators that misuse it.

I also don’t mean to sound like a gnome dev, but what is actually the use case for this?

I think the strike system would make sense and limiting by account age might work as well, but I don’t think the other simple methods of moderation are going to be that useful, as word blacklists always have false positives and auto community lockdown could be exploited by someone to sabotage a community. (like with a denial of service attack)

Also, this is just my opinion but I really hate it when software speaks to me like they’re real people, I understand that it is ultimately written by a person but when the same phrase is repeated to every person regardless of the context it just annoys me. Similiarly I don’t like the automod messages/comments on reddit because it just feels like low effort content in comparison to what real people post on there.

I think this would make more sense framed as a plugin rather than a bot, because a bot post is placed equally to a human post while being inherently lower importance.

If I were to suggest features it would be something like a large language model based content filter, but I understand the computational and cost limitations would make that challenging.

was bored in w*ndows and kde looked cool
