jerk? sure (cause i have heard that "advice just as often as things havent worked, to me its about the same as “have you tried turning it off and on again?”, could i have been nicer about it? sure but at this point im so over it) but cocky? i know a dumb bitch and run of the mill advise, while good intentioned doesn’t make it helpful, granted i also havent shared more than it just not working (which is really all there is to it)

thats the furthest from being defensive, more like aggressive against a piece of shit piece of software, but whatever dude
i stopped counting how often i got the useless “must be your hardware or your config!!!”, cant be that the software steam is trying to peddle and the software its based on are fundamentally broken, and when something goes wrong you might as well shoot yourself cause youd be hard pressed to find any reasonable help
no, my hardware is fine, it works perfectly and doesnt have any issues anywhere else
no, my config is fine, cause im not stupid enough to go anywhere near any kind of config that could break anything, i dont touch that stuff, cause there is no reason
i have a pc, im not about to buy a console again any time soon especially when its a handheld that isnt exactly suited for anything than games that need a controller
my goodness what an idea! Why didnt i think of that!
i have no idea how, why or what is wrong it always feels like russian roulette but with 5 chambers filled im honestly envious to constantly hear hwo great proton and stuff is but for me it works like 1 out of 5 times, distro doesnt matter, all the results are the same
That wine and proton are pieces of poo that i should have never bothered with, countless hours of diddling for next to no result
Pinephone is barely usable as is They need to ve functional first
ID be so boring i and probably others would kill someone or themselves just for some excitement
paraphrasing my girlfriend here but “it(referring to linux) was not made by designers but by developers/programmers” which i think explains not just linux, but a whole lot more
how would you know how much effort i put into trying to fix things on linux? how would you know i spend days if not weeks in total trying to make garbage run that should have worked out the box.
yes, you cant fix it, cause you are not willing to make the actual piece of software work, clearly.
waydroid, literally, for a fact, is not an out of the box experience or it wouldnt have silly requirements as gpu, de/wm.
I am long past trying to fix things that shouldnt need fixing in the first place, if it doesnt work in under 30 minutes max, than whatever software it was is defacto broken and doesnt need to be used.
And you actually are right, well with one thing, you are free to tell me to stop complaining, and i am free to continue. neither of us has any power to make the other stop.
But we are clearly going in circle for a while, so as per my own rules on software, ill use them here as well.
ill never use telegram again, especially if i need to make an account again, and the few times i actually posted on github it felt so stuffy and crummy like you needed to be extremely careful about every single word you say
if you really wanted to fix something, make waydroid easier to use and most importantly, work regardless of desktop environment
the other thing that needs fixing is the linux mentality
you cant always point your finger at the user, sometimes, and heres the kicker, its not the user
when certain programs cant even run on a stock distro that literally just got installed, like the whim of the code gods are rolling a dice, ill call bullhog on the “its the user” mentality
speaking of here we are again im the outlier and it must be my setup
this is neither the first nor the last time ill hear that one
anbox is basically dead and its now all about waydroid so
endeavor was the least trouble i ever had in regard of never having any hassle, i had to jump through far more hoops trying to get certain things working in say…linux mint, than i ever had with endeavouros it makes arch actually usable instead of a nightmare to install
i just have to type 3 letters and it updates everything, no hassle, speedy and actually easy (for once)
thanks for the arch wiki link but 3 out of 4 times i have to force myself to use it, i eventually give up and search for the proper answer somewhere else cause i dont want to read the entire history of binary to understand it
before waydroid, there was indeed anbox, and it worked even less cause i never got it to install in the first place lol
(something is wrong with the replies, it shows me yours two times so idk whats happening right now, i also replied to the wrong thing just now) i dont see much kindness here, just something i have heard way too much about (not like anybody here knows), but ill stand by the point of the post, if id known the pain going through trying to make things work (and often failing) id have never bothered
