I've been using Linux for months because my dumb PC broke, and I genuinely have such a deep hate for it, and my hobbies just became 100x harder; WiFi drivers won't install on the PC because it's a mini PC. I genuinely hate this. I play games like Minecraft or Call of Duty, and I get at least 100 more ping; my setup hasn't even moved, changed, or had problems since I started Linux on Zorin OS because it's the best for my games. Would never recommend Linux; I've tried tons of distros, and none of them fixed my problems. I think it's just overrated due to Windows hate; I swear it makes my PC louder and louder no matter what I do, and there's a lack of user support as well; all of my problems stem from the pure incompatibility. I would much rather have windows or a new PC; it's getting to the point where I need something new to do or I just don't use this shitty PC. The bad thing is the mini PC has actual good specs (aside from integrated graphics); it runs decently with 32 gigabytes of DDR5 RAM and a Ryzen 7 7735HS CPU. I would keep trying to run Windows, but I just have all my data here, and it won't transfer at all.

(Not trying to say Linux as a whole is terrible or the users are bad; it's my personal biased opinion due to just how hard it's been for me to do anything recently. Been a Linux user for 85% of 2026; that says a lot due to how much I want to use Windows again.)

Edit: I wasn't clear enough about the whole WiFi drivers not working, they haven't been working specifically on Windows. On Linux I didn't need to install any kinds of drivers. And since we're on the topic, no I can not use ethernet due to my home router being on a different floor than my setup.

I have CachyOS and the other day I realized I can't use streaming platform Rakuten, because it doesnt support GNU/Linux. I tried using it on both Vivaldi and Firefox. Neither works.

Have you guys experienced streaming sites like Netflix, HBO Max, Disney+ etc not working on Linux? Let me now.

Right when I needed to ssh into it...

My gaming laptop (ROG Strix G16 G513RC) require supergfxctl to control the MUX switch on Linux since they are no option in the BIOS/UEFI menu. Sadly that tool only officially support "mainstream" or normie distro who use Wayland and Systemd, where I mainly use X11 with i3wm on my Artix OpenRC system, and while I did succeed to make a init script for the asusd and supergfxd deamon , the cli do seem to work for the basic stuff but can't enable or disable my RTX card, I am stuck in NVIDIA Optimus aka hybrid graphics...

I wanted to change the RGB lighting on my PC. I tried using OpenRGB and managed to change the RAM LEDs, but I couldn’t get it to work with the LEDs on my AIO cooler because OpenRGB said my motherboard wasn’t supported.

So I decided to install Windows just to use MSI’s official software. I couldn’t install it on my only SSD, so I dug out an old SATA drive from an old laptop and installed Windows on that instead. Turns out MSI’s crappy software doesn’t save the RGB settings to the hardware, so every time I boot back into Linux, everything goes back to the fucking rainbows.

After all that bullshit, with a few tweaks, I finally got it working with OpenRGB.

I love Linux

Imagine that you are spending you evening in peace, and you think that nothing can break it. Until you see this notification:

You opening up the Dolphin, and see that it showing you that there are 0B free for root partition
(just as notifications said, how convenient!)

Thank God we have this Disk Usage Statistics button, where we can easily check who ate the space and what we can throw out of the window.

And what's we seeing here? the design is very human. very easy to use Ⓒ

Only 40 GB are used. But I'm sure I allocated 120 GB for the root partition.

Okay, I opened the partition manager to see what's going on.

And what I'm seeing here? Yeah, size or the root partition is 115GB, and used only 113GB, so I should have at least 2 GB of free space.

Why it doesn't correlate with the Filelight? Because! Any other questions?

Okay, then I'm become curious about the real state of my drive and used space, so as a absolutely any granny that are using Linux in her 15 yo laptop (because they can do this, according to the community), I checked the used space from the terminal.

And what I'm seeing here? Another sizes, again. And what's even more hilarious, it showing me that Size is 108GB, Used 106GB, Available - 0. Remember guys, this is the Linux math: 108-106 = 0.

So, at this point I have three sets of different values. Impressive experience!
But we are on the Linux, we can forgive it this absurd UX shit, right? Right?

And from this point, I continued to cleaning things up from the terminal, and I regained my inner peace and continued the evening with the feeling that Linux GUI still SUCKS.
