Don’t get me wrong. I love Linux and FOSS. I have been using and installing distros on my own since I was 12. Now that I’m working in tech-related positions, after the Reddit migration happened, etc. I recovered my interest in all the Linux environment. I use Ubuntu as my main operating system in my Desktop, but I always end...
Some things just don’t work properly on Linux without doing a lot of tinkering, while on Windows doing the same particular thing works effortlessly. For example, if you want to have an overlay that shows performance stats such as FPS, CPU Temp, CPU Utilization,etc…, while playing a video game, on Windows you can just run MSI Afterburner, simple as that. On Linux, there this tool called Mangohud, while it’s a great tool, it doesn’t come with a GUI (of course it doesn’t, many Linux developers are GUI-phobic for some reason.) So, you either have to do a lot of tinkering with configuration files to get it work and then run it from the terminal, or you use another program called GOverlay, which is a graphical program that utilizes Mangohud among other tools. But guess what? It’s broken at the moment, the thing just outright refuses to work properly, so you’re stuck with using configuring Mangohud on your own! This is just one example of the many things that are frustrating on Linux but are otherwise convenient on Windows.
Greetings. Today I discovered the world of theming Firefox through something called CSS. I went to the store page, and I wanted to add the Opera GX theme. Therefore, I first enabled the legacy toolkit config in the about:config page. Then, I went to the UserChrome.css file found on github for that theme and copied the raw data....
Thank you guys. Other than giving Firefox permission to access the root folder, it turns out there was more to do in order to get OperaGX theme to work, like enabling a few more config settings, and copying the entire chrome folder and user.js file from the source.

Hi, I am a guy in early thirties with a wife and two kids and whenever I go on youtube it always suggests conservative things like guys dunking on women, ben shapiro reacting to some bullshit, joe rogan, all the works. I almost never allow it to go to that type of video and when I do it is either by accident or by curiosity. My...
You most probably viewed these types of videos a few times and the algorithm started recommending them to you. It only takes a couple of videos for the algorithm to start recommending video of the same topic. You could easily solve this by clicking on the 3 dots next to the video and then selecting “Not interested”, do it enough times and they’ll be gone from your feed.
If I’m on an X11 session, when I drag any file or program icon, be it in the desktop or the file manager, the icon always lags behind cursor; it freezes in its place until the cursor stops moving, then moves there. Is there a way to fix this?...
I get it in the case of a political sub. What I don’t get is getting banned by a sub that has absolutely fuck all to do with politics just because of the political views of the moderator(s). It thankfully never happened to me personally, but I find the concept very fucking atrocious.

Why is Linux so frustrating for some people?

X11 is lagggy

What from reddit do you hope to never see on lemmy?
