  • PS really is the bomb. Been a Windows sysadmin for a decade and I couldn’t do a damned thing without PS. I have no modern programming or scripting experience, yet picked up PowerShell and started implementing it very quickly. If you’re running Active Directory, it’s a must, no question.

    Snover has some great intro to PS videos. That’s what got me started.

    Spellcheck crosses out even basic English, has me questioning myself! I’ve probably added 2,000 words to the dictionary, no improvement.

    Weird graphic artifacts, non-stop, it’s blinking as I edit this post.

    Sometimes the graphics go fuzzy and I have to reboot, not even restarting the video drivers works, no issue in Edge.

    Imgur doesn’t load. I use the Imagus extension in both browsers, flawless in Edge, spotty in Firefox. (Yes, that’s on Imagus, probably not the browser.)

    I can watch YouTube logged in on Edge with Ublock, no ads. Have to log out in Firefox. So if I see an interesting video here, I have to copy/paste to Edge.

    Porn browsing? Straight to Edge. What six keys do I need to hit for private mode again? CTRL+SHIFT+N, as it ever was.

    There’s more, but those issues are top of mind.

    I could probably figure out these issues, point being, non-technical users would run away. Kinda like how lemmy is utterly broken for me. My brain just shunts off the annoyances, but I can’t expect anyone else to do so.

    I can hardly sell Linux to Joe User, when not even technical people use it as a daily driver, was the point of my original comment.

    Lemmy: “Switch to Linux!”

    Me, in IT for 3 decades: “Fuck is Wayland?”

    Comments: Clusterfuck of conflicting opinions.

    Seriously, y’all are not moving me to switch daily drivers here. I run nothing but headless Linux servers, but for a desktop? Let me start a fight: Which distro?

    Last job was at a software dev. One soul of 130 worked with Linux as his daily driver. One. And y’all expect non-technical people to run Linux?!

    Also, and this guarantees downvotes, I don’t have the Windows issues you all tell me I have. Same install, years and years, multiple SSDs and PCs, no issues. I can hear you grinding your teeth, “NOAWW! You have problems! I INSIST your desktop fucks up all the time! I INSIST $MS crams unwanted updates up your ass!” Well, there is an update icon waiting on me. Not touching it ATM.

    Only issue in recent memory is that it sometimes doesn’t wake properly. About once every 2 weeks I have to hold the power button for a few seconds, let off, hit it again, acheive desktop.

    Not trusting the gang who talked me into Firefox last year. What a fucking mess of a browser. Was on Edge last week, without realizing it, everything was smooth as glass. Firefox fucks up the most basic spellcheck. Really?! Still have to swap over to watch YouTube without ads, how’s that for irony? Imagur is plain broken outside of Edge. I get weird graphic artifacts and issues on Firefox.
