I used to think I was a 5/10, but then I tried to pirate a game on SteamDeck and I felt like I lost a lot of braincells. Spend like 6 hours trying to fix things and I accidentally bugged the internal speakers.

I think I’m at 3/10, linux (SteamOS) is so fucking hard to use.

I might be the most technologically illiterate Lemmy user ever.

    Dependency… magic. Currently I am having to wait for Firefox not loading websites due to a slower DVD drive I am uploading from to cloud in another tab.
    Maybe some internal QoS thingy where it thinks the network connection is slow.

    And recently I had issues with laptop taking a very long time to resume from sleep or turning screen back on due to iio-sensor-proxy, a program responsible for… at least determining physical screen orientation.

      First one sounds like a RAM issue, or maybe bandwidth. Uploading directly from a disc sounds incredibly resource hungry.

        Neither. Network-wise everything would work, but other Firefox tabs. Especially when I tried uploading multiple files at once, which caused too much seeking.
        I was still able to stream from VLC, while the same stream would time out in Firefox.

        Anyway, I just had to reboot due to a certain runaway situation. Something happened with UDF-fs that caused 100% CPU through excessive logging.
