Linux software developers from companies: Linux is dead and we made sure to kill it.

@phnt Ive been running OpenBSD on my desktop. I feel like its the last outpost.

@ins0mniak Yeah, I've been trying to run it on more servers and I feel in a similar way. FreeBSD for when you need big server Linux things and OpenBSD for something small and simple that just needs to run.

For desktops I don't really now. I didn't try BSDs on my laptop yet and something tells me none of them will like the Intel WiFi 6 chip.

@phnt Yeah always a pain on laptops. I got that macbook now, I kind of just surrendered on that front. If I'm out and about I just need something to work immediately.

I use an Odroid h3+ for my desktop and it runs great out of the box which is where I spend most of my time.

@ins0mniak I've also surrendered on laptops. I can't get the business class Leninovo laptops from businesses for cheap-ish and I'm not paying the retail extortion pricing for those. Probably also buying a CrapBook as my next laptop, since Framework turned out to be a joke.

Or I might completely give up on the laptop side, if I get my hands on a Devterm.

@phnt @ins0mniak I'm sad that i will move to a macbook most likely because I would've preferred a gaming laptop but if the OS is annoying... then it's a bruh moemnt

@mischievoustomato @ins0mniak My Linux setup is pretty comfy and stable, but basic shit like copy-paste breaking after updates is completely inexcusable. Or you know Pipewire destroying my music for the hundredth time with buffer underruns, because muh small audio buffers for low latency.

@phnt @mischievoustomato @ins0mniak copy paste drives me fucking nuts, its the only real issue i have with wayland
i havent noticed issues with pipewire (aside from the crackling under load on fresh installs because i forgot to tune the quant because that's like, a totally normal and acceptable thing for a desktop end user to need to do). have you considered drinking to slow down your perception of latency, allowing you to increase the latency you set?

@warmbeverageenjoyer @ins0mniak @mischievoustomato I've set it to 4096 a long time ago from the default 512 or whatever it has. Sometimes pipewire updates and it's just not enough. I've also set the min/max to 2048/8192 just in case, but it doesn't do anything. Pulseaudio at least dynamically changed the latency window when it detected an underrun, but Pipewire doesn't seem to do that competently.

@phnt @warmbeverageenjoyer @mischievoustomato ugg pulseadio is a pain in the dick man.

@ins0mniak @phnt @warmbeverageenjoyer @mischievoustomato theres a reason some distros don't even have it in their repos...
