I used to think I was a 5/10, but then I tried to pirate a game on SteamDeck and I felt like I lost a lot of braincells. Spend like 6 hours trying to fix things and I accidentally bugged the internal speakers.
I think I’m at 3/10, linux (SteamOS) is so fucking hard to use.
I might be the most technologically illiterate Lemmy user ever.
how the fuck do you “bug” the internal speakers while attempting to pirate a game? that’s like saying you broke the sink while trying to change a light bulb.
Dependency… magic. Currently I am having to wait for Firefox not loading websites due to a slower DVD drive I am uploading from to cloud in another tab.
Maybe some internal QoS thingy where it thinks the network connection is slow.
And recently I had issues with laptop taking a very long time to resume from sleep or turning screen back on due to iio-sensor-proxy, a program responsible for… at least determining physical screen orientation.
First one sounds like a RAM issue, or maybe bandwidth. Uploading directly from a disc sounds incredibly resource hungry.
Neither. Network-wise everything would work, but other Firefox tabs. Especially when I tried uploading multiple files at once, which caused too much seeking.
I was still able to stream from VLC, while the same stream would time out in Firefox.
Anyway, I just had to reboot due to a certain runaway situation. Something happened with UDF-fs that caused 100% CPU through excessive logging.
Welcome to linux!
Idk, its actually a common problem according to SteamDeck users on reddit, so like its not just me. Must’ve accidentally messed with a setting.
EDIT: sorry, that was mean and uncalled for, but I’ll leave it here for people to downvote if they want.
sounds to me like the problem is located somewhere between the user and the trackpads.
