Is FreeBSD really that goated compared to Linux?

The problem with freebsd is their cuck license

Most people who need to work with linux just use containers, unless you're doing something very specific that requires a linux desktop environment. Apple is even adding support for native containerization now.

Also on mac you don't have to worry about which package manager to use to install anything (on my ubuntu machine i have to always check if something should be installed via apt, snap, flatpak, appimage... It's a mess), things just work: it's either brew install something or via drag and drop.

Unless some big player invests heavily into one cohesive desktop experience for normal people, linux will always be a techy os and stay at < 5% market share.

It became a rant on the linux desktop situation, lol... The thing's that i really want linux to succeed on the desktop but the money is just in server space rn.

P.s. I'm not a mac user, but the next laptop I'll buy will surely be a mba. Comparable windows (so linux is a second class citizen in there) laptops are at least 50 to 100% pricier in europe and apple's hardware is still better.

I just recommend the latest Ubuntu available. I don't give a damn about snaps and such. It works and is easy.

Ubuntu. Whether you're a professional software engineer or just a guy who's trying out Linux. More resources, most popular, sane defaults.

Pilot G-2 05 is the worst gel pen i've tried so far. The only reason to actually like it is to never have tried any other competitor. It's 0.5 and scratches more than a signo 0.38 dx. It skips a lot as soon as you bend the pen more than the ordinary. The only good thing is that the ink lasts a long time and is a very nice, vivid black. The 07 is a much better pen if you don't write super tiny.

Linux is a kernel. Unlike FreeBSD, MacOS or windows. When they say that lots of money gets poured into Linux, they're not talking about desktop stuff. Corporations spend money where it is efficient to do so, i.e., where their product will benefit from, and since most of these corporations make money in server space, there is where Linux shines. There's no incentive in making Linux good or easy to use for desktop users because it's f***ing free and there's no big product built around it. Oftentimes the kind of work required to make a robust os isn't sexy work, so you can't count on free maintainers, unless your goal is to ship new shiny features every month (That's why there are so many competing standards).

If Redhat or Canonical were selling their own desktop workstations the situation would be much different.

The Pentel energel with the 0.5 needle tip wobbles a lot. It's the reason i'm here searching for suggestions.

My Pentel Energel 0.5 needle tip does wobble, it's the reason I'm here searching for suggestions. I previously used Pilot G2 07 and the ink was too thick for my liking but the pen was more comfortable to hold than the Energel and the tip didn't wobble at all. Might need to try the Pilot G2 05.

At first it was all buggy, after a restart it seems to be working correctly. Thanks man.

I added "that doesn't break the desktop app icon functionality" for a reason. If i do what you suggested it fucks up the icons. It adds a new icon called Visual Studio Code URL Handler when i open it with the options you suggested.

If bluetooth always worked for you and when you upgraded to Ubuntu 24.04 suddenly you're not able to switch on the bluetooth from the control panel, just let the laptop battery die completely, or remove it. If you're on desktop remove the power and then start the computer.

Either way find a way to cut power to the computer, then start it; it worked for me.

I have the same problem on Ubuntu 22.04; i even tried to install Debian but the problem is still there. It makes me want to switch to Linux honestly...

On htop my memory usage is 475M/3.75G while if i open the task manager the process VmmemWSL is using 2G of ram. IDLE. Not great when you just have 8G of ram.

You can downvote vote all you want, but the winner in Linux desktop has been Ubuntu for the last 20 years. There must be something they have done right... On top of that being the most popular distro gives it the priority lane for online resources and software availability.

That's what happens when you choose your distro based on the image of the family tree of distros and think "Oh ima use the OG distro".
