  • Nope. This crap has been parroted so much. It’s not easier. More hardware issues, more software issue, and shit that should be easy has to be hunted down. Even if you know how to do your workflow things like Wayland fuck every thing up for years compatibility wise.

    To this day in gnome in order to set a default audio source you need to install pulse audio, use the CLI to grab the device id, then run a script at bootup to set the default id. When you update this device id commonly changes and so you’ll need to update your script.

    Normal users won’t tolerate that bullshit.








  • I love it for long running services eg *ardar + Plex but the desktop is nearly unusable.

    Ubuntu out of the box requires you to install pulse audio, grab your device id via cli, and then run a script at bottom to set that device as the default speaker.

    Ubuntu out of the box needs scripting just to deal with an audio source that gets turned off and on. And zealots will scream it’s ready for everyone on steam to use.
