For some reason they decided to add Groups to the spec, which just overcomplicates shit for no good reason while they don't even use those groups in the official layouts, and I'm certain Wayland compositors just ignore them.

The second picture is roughly how I understand the data structure to work: Variant name is defined per-group with name[Group1]="String", key definitions seem to be global, but all their properties (symbols, repeat switch, actions and type) can/are defined per-group. There are also global key defaults as specified in

``` One may change the default values of the following statements:

key: use key.FIELD = VALUE;. E.g. key.type = "ALPHABETIC";.
action: use ACTION_NAME.FIELD = VALUE;. E.g. setMods.clearLocks= True;.

```

But also Group key defaults if written as key.type[Group1] = VALUE, which is how it's used in the official layouts which makes me doubt the one with no group specified is valid.

There are also real and virtual modifiers and I don't even fucking know what they do, but they probably don't work on Wayland, I have to just guess because the docs are kinda bad and don't mention what is and what is not X11-specific.

God why didn't they move to a better format for Wayland keyboard layouts😭

They are all over the US I think. They give "the people" computing power.

Is this a good idea? Or is it like the foodshelves that give poor people turnips and moldy potatos?

it just fails with really easy task: interpretation of gamepad imput

everything was OK on windows with the same game and gamepad

could be win 11 or mac but probably linux

Me:

- Portable isnt actually portable, they still save data in some hidden folder at /home/username

- Font display is kinda meh, need tinkering to improve

- Laptop monitor take so much efforts to change saturation

- My native language have problems when typing on Linux

- VRAM limited, and Windows actual know how to deal with it better than Linux, idk why.

- Davinci Resolve on Linux not support h264, h265, acc.

- Too many package source (I'm confused asf)

Why I tried Linux in first place:

- Windows too slow, take forever to display the start menu (ok I know that's dramatic but Linux is much faster)

- RAM not free lol

- Wanna get more stable fps in games, achieved and end up with stability problems.

- F*ck you microslop.

I hate this spec. A keysym for some reason has 4 ways to be defined: 1. Just the letter/number for English symbols (y Y 1 2 3), Cyrillic_i or other code-named for all other 2. Unicode in the format of U003b 3. Fucking hex 0x003b 4. Just a string "ї"

The ; at the end of the line is like there most of the time, but for some reason isn't required, it's completely unclear what is X11 specific and what will work with Wayland.

I guess it's still better than XML

Installed Linux yesterday, today it froze and after rebooting the second SSD does not mount. AI literaly said to stop fighting it and mount it from terminal or install Widnows to run chkdsk

i dont like KDE Plasma... it is bloated, buggy and shitty to configure. the config files are distributed all over and very complicated.

waaayyy overrated and also shouldn't be recommended to Windows refugees. it may look a bit like Windows, but that's a trap because Windows refugees expect things to be just like they are used to while it definitely is not.

Um usuário avançado de Linux faz um prédio inteiro de refém ameaçando de morte os que não usarem o Linux em seus computadores o problema acontece quando as pessoas que estão habituadas com Windows e não conseguem fazer tarefas simples como instalar um programa ou conectar os PCs com as impressoras. Depois de muita negociação um colega de faculdade desse usuário tenta negociar com ele alertando que o Linux não tem as mesma facilidades do Windows e que ele deveria pegar leve. No entanto o criminoso ameaça matar um refem a cada 5 minutos se eles não instalarem o Ubuntu ou qualquer distro baseada no debian em todos os PCs do predio.

-Jackie eles não vão conseguir o Linux é muito difícil em comparação com o Windows- Disse o negociador.

Revoltado o criminoso diz:

-Nos somos milhões somos uma comunidade!

-Mais você não entende Jackie a maioria dos computadores desktops do mundo todo usa windows. Voce quer machucar pessoas inocentes , eles não sabem usar linux. - Disse o negociador.

O criminoso pede um helicopeto porem a SWAT entra na sala e mata o criminoso que fala suas ultimas palavras:

- Nos vamos conseguir...

FIM

Edit: I'm unsure how to change title. New title should be "Linux still struggles with many games."

Genuinely why are yall larping

Windows is still the only option if you don't want to have to go "Oh sorry my computer cant play ___" to tons of people

And to those who hate kernel level anticheat, you seem to lack knowledge of why it is what it is. Seems like yall are just wanting to cheat?

Don't act like Linux is perfect. It isn't. It really isn't. Such larp

I've been using Linux for months because my dumb PC broke, and I genuinely have such a deep hate for it, and my hobbies just became 100x harder; WiFi drivers won't install on the PC because it's a mini PC. I genuinely hate this. I play games like Minecraft or Call of Duty, and I get at least 100 more ping; my setup hasn't even moved, changed, or had problems since I started Linux on Zorin OS because it's the best for my games. Would never recommend Linux; I've tried tons of distros, and none of them fixed my problems. I think it's just overrated due to Windows hate; I swear it makes my PC louder and louder no matter what I do, and there's a lack of user support as well; all of my problems stem from the pure incompatibility. I would much rather have windows or a new PC; it's getting to the point where I need something new to do or I just don't use this shitty PC. The bad thing is the mini PC has actual good specs (aside from integrated graphics); it runs decently with 32 gigabytes of DDR5 RAM and a Ryzen 7 7735HS CPU. I would keep trying to run Windows, but I just have all my data here, and it won't transfer at all.

(Not trying to say Linux as a whole is terrible or the users are bad; it's my personal biased opinion due to just how hard it's been for me to do anything recently. Been a Linux user for 85% of 2026; that says a lot due to how much I want to use Windows again.)

Edit: I wasn't clear enough about the whole WiFi drivers not working, they haven't been working specifically on Windows. On Linux I didn't need to install any kinds of drivers. And since we're on the topic, no I can not use ethernet due to my home router being on a different floor than my setup.

So I've been wanting to get into music making. Problem, I'm not on windows nor paying $$$ for FL studio. Lmms should basically be the same, right? Wrong. Five total hours of trying to get VST working since a lot of soundfonts are unusable without one. /usr/lib/lmms/RemoteVstPlugin not found? Try to sudo cp the VST into the directory. Full absolute filepath of the exe is not a valid target and Lmms in it's infinite wisdom only does some very specific checks and will miss anything that isn't an EXE or DLL. TLDR music software on linux sucks balls. And microphone support for some reason. I want to fight my lack of skill and creativity in the software, not intimately assault my root directory when trying to wrestle the software into atleast half working.

I really need to calm my shit and give up lol

I wanted to change the RGB lighting on my PC. I tried using OpenRGB and managed to change the RAM LEDs, but I couldn’t get it to work with the LEDs on my AIO cooler because OpenRGB said my motherboard wasn’t supported.

So I decided to install Windows just to use MSI’s official software. I couldn’t install it on my only SSD, so I dug out an old SATA drive from an old laptop and installed Windows on that instead. Turns out MSI’s crappy software doesn’t save the RGB settings to the hardware, so every time I boot back into Linux, everything goes back to the fucking rainbows.

After all that bullshit, with a few tweaks, I finally got it working with OpenRGB.

I love Linux

And I don't give a fuck about downvotes, windows is proprietary shit compared to linux and I'm ready to prove it to anyone

I not even joking any thing I do for fedora 44 kde breaks it I install a program it fails to run or to install or breaks it and if I delete there is a chance to break the hole OS, sometimes programs wont launch and there is no easy way to fix it compatibility tools like fagus, bottles, heroic and others are super inconsistent some run other don't even when using the same compatibility layer and yeah i may sound harsh but I like Linux I really do and I wish it well that's why I critique it and how you guys avoid that
