You suggested Kubuntu which is KDE. which will be way to slow for them. I never suggested Gnome… 🧐

Xfce or lxde would be way better, like others have suggested.

They want a desktop, not a slideshow.

I dont know if this is the issue, but is your motherboard bios up to date? I had some weird error like this before and after updating my bios it worked.

🤔

“No you are wrong.” YoU aRe So tRiGgErEd! 🤓

Dumb dumb.

I suggest you read a little in how the backdoor was implemented. It wasn’t as obvious as you think. I personally don’t think the owner had anything to do with it.

Its looks fancy and feels nice. Its really just a theme so everything else works the same. Everyone has different things they like.

You’re right. Don’t listen to the dumbdumb.

For OP and other people with this issue, make sure you set media.ffmpeg.vaapi.enabled to true in about:config in firefox. Unless you do that, hardware video acceleration often wont be used.

I am not gonna lie… Hardware video acceleration on Linux has traumatized me so much. I have spend soooooo much time over the years dealing with this removed. I has gotten better, i admit. But before you had to make sure all the stars aligned perfectly to make this removed work properly. Hell, even last week i found out that hardware video acceleration did not seem to work on twitch.tv on my firefox browser. After 2 days of reinstalling my Linux distro, drivers, many different ways of running firefox such as the rpm version, flatpak etc. I found out opensuse removed the mesa drivers that included the codecs i needed… i found out about it through some old reddit post comment with 2 upvotes… Even now i am having issues with running sunshine streaming. And it drives me insane because it SHOULD work. But it doesn’t. It could be the flatpak not having correct access. It could be the driver. It could be wayland. I don’t even know anymore… it just refuses to find available codecs. Then i tried steam remote play instead. And it streams… a black screen with only my cursor showing.

I don’t know anymore. I don’t care anymore.

Oh another fun one is geforce now. On Linux if you use hardware acceleration, a certain part of the grey/black color spectrum is missing from the video stream. So games are quite darker and it makes games like dead by daylight completely unplayable as most dark spots are completely black. If you run it without hardware acceleration it works fine… but then you get very bad lag, stuttering and slowmotion at higher bitrate. So that is also unplayable.

Hardware video acceleration on Linux is a disaster and really deserves more attention. Every now and then it works and then something updates and everything is broken again. I currently just dual boot because i use sunshine and geforce now a lot.

Sorry for the long rant. I didn’t know i typed this much. But it honestly really deserves some attention as it can really mess up the users experience. Often without their knowledge.

Oh that one pisses me off so much… they act like its the only damn thing i have open.

All the people returning and forgetting what reddit did and will continue to do. Then the next time reddit messes up, they will come back. 😔

Edit: other stats seem pretty good though! Unless i am misunderstanding them.

Exactly?

Well that’s a weird thing to say then because there are enough people who dislike it and then people ask “why” all the time.

Nobody is trying to control what people think or how they feel. You’re really just being an ignorant fool in every comment you post, aren’t you?

By x you mean twitter? Maybe because its very clear and visible why its removed.

With Wayland, not so much. I don’t see any issues with it either, so by asking someone who hates it, why. Maybe that person will mention something i didn’t know yet and see their perspective.

Nobody will get upset about those 3 options. People might get pissed though at you being a dick about it and yelling about mental illnesses.

But its a nice excuse to be a bigot and then when people call you out, just act like its about the options in your application.
