- This is not a common issue that Linux users experience.
- You didn’t mention if you tried, and if the same issue happened, on different browsers.
- There are many ways to install Brave: Flatpak, Snap (since you mentioned in a post you used Ubuntu), different Distros packages, unofficial AppImage, and Brave Release, Brave Beta and Brave Nightly. If that’s a bug with the browser, a different version or a different package could have managed it.
- “Small issues like this” does not break the immersion. It’s really dishonest to say that Windows 11 is free of issues (either small or big). Specially when this problem you had is hardly a ‘Linux’ issue, and likely an issue with either Brave or your setup.
- Just because you looked for answers, for an uncommon issue, on Arch’s wiki and “many AIs”, it doesn’t mean you looked for the right answers and neither that you did the right questions, or even that you understood what you were actually reading.
- And finally, no Linux will not “solve these problems someday”, because Linux will never be a perfect OS where everything, on every hardware, runs problem-free, specially because a lot of issues are not “Linux”'s fault, but software or hardware related issues. But Windows, MacOS, Android, iOS, or whatever the fuck OS you think about are definitely not perfect either, and will never be.
But you did well coming back to Windows. It’s the perfect place for people that does not like to think.
Hard disagree. People are people, doesn’t matter if you’re on Reddit, Lemmy, Piefed, X, Mastodon, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc.
What makes the Fediverse different is not users behavior, but how it’s decentealized instances and moderation works, as well as the user freedom to choose an instance akin to their ideals. Also the way that up and downvotes work.
In Reddit people farm karma because they want those digital points in their profile. Here you don’t have it. The up and downvotes are strict to the post itself, not to your account.
In Reddit you either accept Reddit’s rules and “behave” according to what they demand, or you get banned out of every discussion, requiring a whole new account if that happens (and hoping they don’t ban that account too, for ban evasion). Here if you get banned, you can access the discussion from any other instance - you’re not locked out for good.
The way Fediverse works makes discussion and different points of view possible. Maybe you can’t make a point in an instance, because they have a viewpoint different from yours and won’t accept that specific argument. But you might actually receive positive feedback with that same opinion on a different instance regarding the same topic.
On Fediverse you’re not permanently punished for going against the grain, contrary to Reddit. And you also don’t get praised and adding permanent “value” (karma) to your account by reposting some popular shit, also contrary to Reddit.
In other words, Lemmy/Piefed encourages you to post what you actually think. Reddit discourages you to post anything that might be seen as unpopular, and instead it encourages you to repost the same popular beliefs without any critical sense.
The difference in how Reddit and Lemmy/Piefed operate makes a HUGE difference.
Edit: And he blocked me. lmao
