  • Here’s how the conversation could go without sounding like an ass:

    Him: Cool shirt. Do you like Iron Maiden?

    Her: No, I just like this shirt.

    Him: That’s cool. They’re one of my favourite bands. If you wanna hangout sometime I’d love to introduce them to you?

    Maybe not the last sentence but can you get the difference in tone?










  • Thanks for trying to help. I have already managed to import the ovpn certs using the CLI. It’s just the Gnome import wizard that was not working. I suspect one of my monitors is incorrectly reporting its native resolution and refresh rate as its an issue that occurrs with both nvidia and AMD gpus. I’m on vacation now but I’ll visit linuxquestions when I’m back because it’s a really annoying issue lol.




  • Let’s not pretend Linux isn’t without its own jank. Currently broken on my install

    • importing open vpn certificates
    • USB file transfers
    • after monitors time out and go to sleep resolution, refresh rate and screen positioning resets
    • sometimes fails to go to sleep
    • have to change /proc/acpi/wakeup after every boot or the nvme ssd immediately wakes the system up from sleep
    • Chrome can’t update

    I know I’ll get down voted for saying this because lemmy is a Linux circlejerk. But if we want Linux to proliferate we can’t keep ignoring its problems. And sure, if I could be bothered I could probably fix most of these things with enough time. But I don’t want to spend my limited free time fixing stuff that really should just work out of the box
