having a lot of Thoughts™ about Linux and how I feel about it rn that im not sure i want to post

like having used linux since I was a small child up to now on and off I just find these specific things that irritate me

like I have half formed thoughts on Wayland and X11 and some thoughts on just the general experience of trying to use wine and proton on older hardware, to the complete disaster that is touchscreen support, etc.

i can talk about how I've wasted almost an entire 24-48 hours combined of my life maybe more trying to get the fucking resistive touchscreen calibrated correctly on my toughbook, only to have basically no gestures and barebones mouse click actions with it

and its still not calibrated correctly and I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY

like linux supports a lot of peripherals but theres certain catagories of devices that are just completely ignored it seems

like I use that touchscreen when I cant use a mouse. its not something I want to just give up on.

ive scoured wikis and old forum posts and absolutely fucking nothing has worked

Follow

and im afraid to ask because I feel like ill get bonked for "not googling" or "not knowing this obvious solution"
