Lightning hit a tree right next to my house and went through the invisible dog fence and fried a bunch of stuff in my house… The invisible fence and many other things are grounded now…

The bark on the tree literally blew off and there was a huge bang and flag of light when it struck. Scared the crap out of everyone in my house.

Did they update the title on you or something? Why are you asking about 30?

Has an uninformed, awful take, that belittles someone else… then cries the victim when people call him out. Nice

If you need to clarify something to someone in a reply… Also add your clarification as an edit instead of “Edit: OMG read my reply to that other guy”.

Might save your inbox from the… ~3 replies that you apparently can’t handle.

Sidenote: I’d hate to play multiplayer games with someone so fragile.

I think “dripping with money” expressed via the clothes someone is wearing.

May I ask what your issues were?

I don’t give a crap what OS you use. A lot of us aren’t evangelizing anything, we’re just trying to bring people up-to-date on the current state of Linux, which is pretty good to be honest. That is then misinterpreted as elitism because tone of voice isn’t transmitted over text.

People are concerned about the direction Windows is going and a lot of us are justifiably mad about it. But mentioning Linux instead of linking to the debloat scripts and masgrave summons people that hate the Linux of 10-20 years ago.

I have a friend in IT who spent a couple hours researching Windows 10 LTSC and then installing it, running the masgrave script, then running all the debloat scripts… instead of just installing Bazzite or CachyOS because “I don’t want to have to use the command line for everything”.

And then we (Linux users in general) get called elitists for trying to educate them 😂.

You’re sysadmin that has issues with Firefox… What?

This has to be a ragebait account.

I take it you tried Linux and found it too difficult?

I don’t believe that is a KDE specific issue. I’ve seen it in most DE’s

It’s more of a mount/file system limitation. For whatever reason you have to explicitly tell the file system that if it can’t connect to something, to timeout.

Add a timeout to your mount rule and if it ends up being unavailable it’ll just timeout instead of freezing your file browser.

At work I’ve had issues with the Start Bar not showing any/most programs and centering the one program that does show up (even though I have it left aligned). Then when I mouse over it, it’ll try to move to where it should be causing it to jump around and be unclickable.

I’ve also had the file explorer just stop working entirely.

This is on a pretty powerful dev laptop, so it’s not lack of resources.

That being said I’ve never heard of anyone else having that issue so it seems rare.

Charisma (cha"rizz"ma)…

I don’t agree with it, I just know what it is.

When I setup arch for the first time I didn’t setup swap. Then, after issues like this, I added only 4GB of swap, thinking it was enough. Recently I increased swap to the same amount of RAM I have (32GB) which might be overkill but so far I haven’t had any weird freezing issues.
