@theking yeah its not exactly common from what i know
@theking thank you for your help though, ill keep that in mind if I ever attempt to solve it again
@theking im sorry but im generally unwilling to pursue this any further at the moment, it just ends up frustrating me in the end and I try to avoid spending entire days on stuff like this
@theking I have my own gripes with how Gnome does some things but it does do some things well as an environment. just not the type of environment i enjoy using
and im afraid to ask because I feel like ill get bonked for "not googling" or "not knowing this obvious solution"
like I use that touchscreen when I cant use a mouse. its not something I want to just give up on.
like linux supports a lot of peripherals but theres certain catagories of devices that are just completely ignored it seems
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 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.
@jellyfriend *points towards a virtual desktop adjacent that has all the windows*
@darkwitchclaire true!
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
Orchid: dollgirl, art freak, talks to and about bugs, enjoyer of games, mostly shmups. mecha/planes are also an interest. stats and data fiend. tinkerer. She/Her, It/Its.
Salamander Rosegarden is The Maiden Of The Eternal Garden, a witch focused on plant based magic. Often pondering food recipies or admiring Orchid's weird behaviors.
Neither of them are human. They are very in lesbians with each other.
