  • Been using Tumbleweed as well. May I ask if you encountered these 2 issues:

    1. Copy 1Gb movie to flash drive, says it’s done in 10 seconds. Try to remove the flash drive, still in use. Turns out it’s actually still copying.
    2. Send some files, whatever the size, even 10Mb, to the trash and it takes a minute per file.

    Stumbled upon some github issues saying that it’s a longstanding problem (since 2009 even), but I can’t believe that people put up with it for so long without fixing it.

    I’m not even thinking of changing DE but this is annoying to say the least.







  • Your POV is laughable. 😄

    Don’t you know that everybody has that one friend, nephew, neighbor, colleague etc. that they ask for advice when buying a new laptop?

    I am one of those friends, nephews, neighbors that helps out in such situations. I don’t sit on my high Linux cloud smartassing average people to throw away that little bit of tech literacy they’ve gathered over the years while using Win and Win related software for a Linux learning experience they don’t want.

    I help them out to save money and still get what they need.

    As for people that don’t have such a person, they won’t be saving money to get an OS they’ve never heard of. They’ll get the option with Win installed. If anyone thinks differently, obviously has no contact with regular people outside of tech. 😄
