    I know, every time it’s rare. It’s not a real issue. I chose the wrong distro. I have the wrong graphics card. I should have known to use kde over gnome for this use case. I should have known that electron and Wayland were a mess at the time despite being the recommended desktop, I’m always holding my phone incorrectly.

    I write terraform and go modules all day but I’m just somehow always unlucky in discovering these issues over 15 years of off and on trying different distros over the years.

      To take a serious stab at this post

      I know, every time it’s rare.

      Do you know it isn’t? sometimes rare things happen to you.

      It’s not a real issue.

      who has ever said that to you?

      I chose the wrong distro. I have the wrong graphics card. I should have known to use kde over gnome for this use case.

      are you aware that if you ask questions nicely and with humbleness instead of like a jerk you’ll get different styles of answers?

      I should have known that electron and Wayland were a mess at the time despite being the recommended desktop

      that’s fixed and long passed us, they were new and experimental for a while but now they’re mostly the default.

        I feel like all of this is a red herring.

        How do Windows users fix a problem? They Google the problem and get the solution.

        The EXACT same thing works in Linux. Has for a long, long time.

        The only time it DOESN’T is when you either don’t know what you’re trying to do, in which case no power on EARTH is going to be able to help you, or you’re trying to do something so obscure and obtuse that a Windows user wouldn’t be doing it either.
