general bug reporting PSA: dont be worried about "taking dev time" with bug reports, all bug reports are welcome even if you might feel its odd.

Just make sure to:

• write what you did and what happened
• if it's a crash, share logs with debug symbols
• be patient
• if you can show screenshot/video, that's awesome!

If it's a duplicate bug, it's easy to close it. Duplicate bugs also help often to see how many people are having some issue and help us prioritize.

Sometimes your bugreport might just be the missing link or the weird edgecase we're looking for to fix something that appears only rarely!

So yes report all the bugs! We can't squash them otherwise.

Little tip for when you're suggesting features to a project: "Feature Idea" sounds so much nicer than "Feature Request". Rather than sounding like "I want this, this is an order!", it's more like "Hey, this would be cool, what do you think?"

This also goes out to all the maintainers creating issue labels, by the way.

Fascinating both for what it says about dev & what it says about statistics:

A gamedev realized Linux users were just 5.8% of their sales, but represented 38% of bug reports.

Then they looked at those numbers closer, and realized. Linux users were not experiencing more bugs. Almost none of the Linux-user bugs were Linux-related. Linux users were simply more likely to file bugs.

Their conclusion: A linux port pays for itself bc it nerdsnipes ppl into giving u free QA

#Linuxexperiment geht heute in Runde 2 mit Kubuntu 23.04, und zumindest auf dem Live-System funktionieren Bildschirm, Touchpad, Tastatur etc. wie schon auf Manjaro Plasma.

Bei den Treibern werden ein paar andere Optionen angezeigt, die ich im laufenden Betrieb der Live-Version nicht testen kann. HDMI-Anschluss einfach so funktioniert nicht, externer Monitor via DisplayPort aber schon.

Installation als Parallelbetrieb zu Manjaro läuft und ich bin dann mal gespannt 🙂
