I think that this is just the reality. Linux is not Windows, and each has their issues. I run an Arch based distro so that I can get new changes as soon as is reasonable without needing to go to user repositories, but some things still lag behind Windows because there is no corporate motivation ($) to build those features for Linux.

I’ve changed my workflow and mindset about what I need to do and how to get there in Linux. This involves making tradeoffs when Linux can’t do things the same way, or at all. I think this is a common experience.

My earbuds’ firmware can only be updated with a Windows app. My tax software only works in Windows. I have to use a Windows VM for those.

There are online games I can’t play with friends. I use FreeCAD instead of Autodesk stuff, I made sure that I can use the slicer for my 3D printer in Linux before buying it, and so on.

Realistically, I can’t be the change that I want to see, so I live with it. For me, it’s still worth it.

The comments on that video made me wonder what the astroturf was going on, then I saw what channel posted the video.

I’ve been using a Corne for over a year. The halves are close enough that I can move my non-mousing hand to the other half. I like the split primarily for a more comfortable typing angle rather than a wider stance.

So Pixel phones don’t support DP alt mode via USB-C, and Samsung phones don’t support Chromecast. Are they holding back these features for when they run out of ideas to sell new phones? I can’t think of any technical reason why we can’t have both.

Ubisoft might tell you that the game is already registered and won’t let you register it again, even with a new Ubi account. I would assume the scenario where the customer gets screwed is the default.
