And rightly so. There’s a reason we’re migrating away from pulse to pipewire.

For the longest time the solution to any audio issues was “just uninstall PulseAudio, and use plain ALSA”, and that usually worked. I held out for years and ran an ALSA only setup because it just worked and PulseAudio was always giving me one issue or another (audio lag, crackling, unexplained muting), until some applications started to drop ALSA support.

Then Pipewire came along, and so far it has been rock solid for me.

clients (apps) should continue to use the PulseAudio/JACK APIs because the PipeWire API is not designed for general use

Really? That is news to me … explains why mpv’s pipewire audio output was briefly broken a couple of months ago.

Possibly hardware dependent?

I always had audio hardware that was well supported by ALSA, I never had any ALSA issues until applications stopped supporting it.

SpaceCadet,

It runs on top of ALSA, as far as I know.

Absolutely. I hated that era where everything tried to be an imac. Maximum kitsch.

I was already in my 20s then though, so I really have no childhood nostalgia for that time.

No it does not. Unless it tasted like shit to begin with.

The UI is fine.

It’s just that Github is a code sharing and collaboration platform for developers, not a software package distribution platform for end users.

lazy men who don’t want to bother with a separate perfume and have a distinct lack in taste, but it’s not the norm for anyone over the age of 16.

What the actual fuck?

I am 48 and don’t know a single man who wears perfume daily. For me a fragrance is reserved for special occasions, like weddings or dates and to wear it to work would be considered quite unprofessional (like dressing up above your boss). But I guess we must all be lazy and lacking your refined taste… yeah

It might be a cultural thing then

I doubt it. I live in Belgium too.

I do agree with you that Axe is vile, and I use a lightly scented deodorant of a different brand myself … but this notion that wearing an actual perfume every day is the norm for adult men is frankly ridiculous.

Do you have a link to such an Axe “deodorant+perfume” combo? Because I’m not sure we’re talking about the same thing.

SpaceCadet,
@SpaceCadet@feddit.nl avatar

Oh right, so the same Axe as I had in mind then. Yeah, none of them smell good.

The specials aren’t on the menu.

They should be!

A lot of places here write the non-permanent specials on a blackboard, and the waiter puts that blackboard next to the customer’s table and gives them some time to digest it after he’s done his little talk.

Or you know, just backup your system entirely.

SpaceCadet,
@SpaceCadet@feddit.nl avatar

Unless you have a very clearly predefined and unchanging use case, I think a personal computer will always be a pet and trying to enforce a cattle paradigm on it is a mistake.

Furthermore I find it a waste of time sorting out “user files” from “system files”, not to mention that it is error prone, when I can easily just back up everything and be sure. I don’t ever intend to restore “everything” as a whole, but being able to refer to previous versions of random files (like your /etc/fstab), even if it’s just for troubleshooting, has already proven to be invaluable for me.

This may sound strange to you, but I actually don’t give a single fuck about how you perceive things.

SpaceCadet,
@SpaceCadet@feddit.nl avatar

Yes you were sweetie.

JFC people like you … You have like the worst case of Stockholm syndrome I’ve ever seen. I swear the only reason you are getting so angry and defensive when people recommend Linux is because deep down you know they’re speaking the truth.

Even point 4 is something I have never experienced, and is probably also lack of understanding.

A filesystem is either mounted or it isn’t. Mounted for one program but not for another doesn’t exist. If they don’t see it in the filepicker, they probably just don’t know the mount point.

SpaceCadet,
@SpaceCadet@feddit.nl avatar

Fuck off with your stupid takes

Yeah, real mature take you have there buddy.

offer a real solution to the problem.

“My husband always beats me when he is drunk. Don’t tell me to leave him, just tell me how I get him to stop beating me”

^ This is you basically.

Listen, if you don’t like what I have to say, don’t read my comments, block me or stop replying or something, but I’m not going to shut myself up to please some random twerp like you.

I’m not a Windows user, and certainly not a Windows expert. Why should I have to provide solutions to Windows problems? I use Linux so that I don’t have to bother with that shit.

SpaceCadet,
@SpaceCadet@feddit.nl avatar

Again, I’m not going to silence or censor myself for some random internet bully like you. Who the fuck are you to say what kind of advise I can and cannot give? Get lost.

SpaceCadet,
@SpaceCadet@feddit.nl avatar

Well even so you’re barking up the wrong tree. Read my comment history: I never gave anyone the personal advise to switch to Linux, because honestly I don’t care about what anyone uses, and frankly I dislike Windows users coming over to Linux forums expecting everything to be the same as Windows under a different name and complaining when it isn’t. I was merely explaining why people are giving that advise.
