I've tried to switch to Linux multiple times since 2008. Usually Ubuntu. I've even tried Linux Mint. I can never commit to the switch, I always get buggy behavior, crashes, hardware incompatibility, lack of apps (FL Studio, Adobe, WeChat for PC, etc). There are also dozens of tiny issues, like the sensitivity of the mouse/scroll wheel that feels different from Windows, even after adjusting the relevant settings. Also, for volume adjusting, the volume slider doesn't make a sound when you change the volume level, unlike on Windows. How is it that not a single Linux distro includes this functionality? I am totally comfortable working in a Terminal if I have to, but every time I follow a terminal walkthrough I get errors; I search the error messages online and I get reading threads talking about bugs that are a decade old, there is never a solution. I am so jealous of people who can immerse themselves in Linux, I just can't do it. I need my stuff to work out of the box, and for 15 years and many attempts to switch, it has never been the case. I can't tell if I'm not smart enough, or I just rely too heavily on proprietary software, or I don't want to dedicate the time to manually fixing problems with terminal commands and scripts.

If you are in Canada, you can use the digits in your Postal Code followed by two zeros. A0C1A0 = 01000 I tried it and it works.

I will admit, I was hard into Lemmy at first, but then gradually slipped back into the Reddit habit. This is my first visit to the site in a few weeks.

How does this work? Is it a python script that runs on a local machine?

Very cute cat!

I also want to say, those Logitech speakers in the back are no joke! I have some, and they're the best speakers I've ever had.

Wow! First time seeing this group and this music video. That's got to be one of the best music videos I've ever seen! I was laughing so much, fucking awesome! Thanks for sharing!

Wefwef is open source, it would be cool if someone could fork it and make a version that looks more like an Android app experience.
