  • I have never used macOS in my life but I can confidently say that there is no “if not worse” when it comes to windows. If you have used macOS or linux for a few years you have been shielded by how much shit windows is these days. I have had to install windows on my partner’s pc due to software requirements and let me tell you it’s straight up horrifying. The next person that dares tell me that windows is easier than linux or that it “just works” is getting a punch in the face.

    Spotify didn’t work because a “system component” was missing. Spotify obviously gave no sign about this, instead opting to displaying a missing dll error.

    Setting up a samba share on my linux server took a few minutes, and it was visible and usable by my linux box, my iPhone, and my partner macbook without issues. Windows could see the share but not access it because I have it set up to allow anonymous usage (which maps to an almost permission-less user on the server), and apparently windows 11 requires changing THREE different registry keys to allow the client to access shares anonymously despite the server explicitly relying on it (password auth is disabled on the server).

    Simpler my ass.



  • Why are you using networkd instead of networkmanager on a desktop?

    What a weird question. Networkd works anywhere systemd works, why whould desktops be any different.

    It’s the same as asking someone “why are you using systemd-boot instead of grub?” Because I like systemd boot better and it’s easier to configure. Same with networkd, configuration is stupid simple, I have installed it on my work machine even.

    As for op: since you can manually ping ip addresses and the issue seems to be time-based, could it be that your machine is somehow not renegotiating a dhcp lease?


  • Don’t know why you are getting downvoted, it’s absolutely true. Raw specs these days mean relatively little. With smart frequency boosts that vary with thermals, CPU and GPU on the same package, different workloads stressing different components differently, RAM bandwidth playing different roles for CPU and GPU applications, and many other factors, just stating that the M4 has so and so many cores is practically useless.

    The only real way to gauge performance differences is via benchmarks and measuring sustained workloads.

    Im my defense, I did test it. It was working for me.

    But then someone else touched it without understanding it or flipped the truth value returned by one of the functions used by my code without properly fixing the call sites.

    Edit: or they had a merge conflict and they don’t know how to correctly resolve those.
