Goddam that almost killed me. 🤣

Not at all my experience, I started using Linux in 2005, and Ubuntu was part of an explosion in available help for new users,
but also many smaller distros had it, like for instance PC Linux which I think back on fondly.
Beginner friendly distros was as much a thing back then as it is today.
The biggest difference is more that Linux has become better, and some things are a lot easier today.
Even Arch has an easy installer now!

Yes USA is a funny country, one of the richest countries in the world, but for some reason they can’t afford basic infrastructure and healthcare for all?

😀 👍

Where I live (Denmark) there is no need for planning your charging, there are charging stations everywhere. I think the same is true for Sweden and Norway.
It’s only a matter of when the infrastructure is established enough. Scandinavia is among the more developed regions with regard to charging infrastructure, but it will be the same in other countries soon.

When I had an ICE car, it was exactly the same. With our BEV however, I don’t generally need to charge “on the way” as I can start each morning fully charged, and have more than enough battery for a full day.
It’s only on longer trips we need to charge, and on those we can easily combine charge and a short break.

the vast majority of their charging at home or at their destination.

Absolutely true, which is also why I found it extremely annoying when reviewers began claiming that range wasn’t as important as fast charging speeds in daily use. Luckily most have stopped that shit, probably realizing there’s a reason most people want good range, and this is one of them. Also charging at home/destination cost way less than using a fast charger, and it’s better for battery life too.

Moreover, OP seems telling us their experience in hope to get help more than complaining…

No I never saw a question there.

he wants sound!

Then use something that is Linux compatible.

Wayland is cool, but I had to revert to X11, but with KDE Wayland didn’t support the keybindings I wanted. It might be a KDE problem, but nonetheless I chose to go back to KDE for the overall better experience. And I never had a problem with X11.
AFAIK Wayland is as much about developers wanting a fresh slate and a clean start. Not that that there was anything wrong with X11.
I fully understand that, and I expect that in time I will switch to Wayland, it’s not actually a huge issue either way IMO.

PS:
Thanks to to the coders who are putting in the hours for both projects to be great. 👍 😎 😀
It really was only one minor issue that made me stay with X11.

I could not figure out how to get audio to come out of my headphones.

That’s probably an Audioengine D3 USB DAC problem and not a Linux problem. Almost all audio systems are supported in Linux, but maybe this one isn’t. It is up to the hardware vendor to ensure quality support, that’s also how it works with Windows. It’s not Microsoft that writes all those drivers, they are written by the OEM vendor.

Only with Linux sometimes users of the hardware implement the support that should have been provided by the vendor.

over HDMI to my LG C1

Don’t use HDMI, HDMI is inferior to display port and only serves the purpose to work as a DRM mechanism, something we absolutely do not want.

but I’ve read that X11 provides a poor experience compared to Wayland.

I have no idea what bad user-experience X11 should be the cause of. X11 works absolutely fine, and has features you won’t find anywhere else.

But apart from that I’ve heard Windows is utter crap proprietary spyware, so compared to that you are obviously way better off with Linux.
You should complain to the maker of that audio system about it not working, your complaint here is completely irrelevant, and achieves nothing.

It’s almost as if the US healthcare system is some kind of scam designed for profit.

No those are in no way similar. they have to do with greed and selfishness.
Religion makes people evil without greed or selfishness.

OK that’s a simplification, but nothing else is as effective at it as religion.

True, atheists holding an ideology that is equally extreme to religion. I never claimed religion has exclusive right, it’s just the most efficient and most common way to lure people into insanity.

sick conservative fucks use religion

Aaand there you are, religion most definitely plays a role to justify that shit.

Maybe it hurts because iẗ́s true?

what I do not understand is the people who voted for him 2! times after that.

This is also why allies don’t trust USA anymore. The problem isn’t just Trump, it’s the American voters.

Same as:
I’m tired of being hated just because I’m a horrible person.

Biden would be considered clearly right wing here (Denmark), but at least he was a “normal” person, and not a malignant narcissist.
As a rule of thumb, never vote for the psychopath no matter what he/she promises. The Psychopath doesn’t give a shit about people. And a psychopath simply can’t understand the social mechanisms that are necessary for a country to function well.

Trump as a malignant narcissist is the worst kind of psychopath and sociopath there is.
The fact that Trump was ever elected is a symptom of something seriously wrong in American society.
