How do you guys actually learn how to fix certain things? Its mind boggling how one can visit a forum and there’s people saying “oh yeah just run -c xhhkrk ()<>[] bbbhjl and that will fix your sound issue”
Like WHERE do you even start? I hate having to look things up all the time when everyone else on windows “just works”. Copying commands off forums endlessly doesn’t really help you learn.
Example, installed cachyos on an older laptop, but sound and screen dimming will not work. I have no ides where to even begin with that. I feel like a windows user could at least poke around control panel and probably fix the issue but its way harder with linux.
I have had luck with almost everything working with mint on my desktop (except vr, oculus is a nighmare to get working) and have been running that about a year. If I had to set it all up again id have to re look up everything I forgot since then…
If there was something like man but easier to parse through, that would be immensely helpful. Like for my sound issue, if there was a better organized manual that I could look under “sound” and see the inner workings laid out and common issues, thats what we need. Otherwise people are going to be terrified of linux because its so hard.
Ive actually played that one! However it doesn’t really help with amy real world issues unfortunately. Yeah, it makes sense that its really difficult to compile all of this information for all the hardware and distros etc. I feel like laptops have the most issues too
To be fair, you could play these games all day, and it still won’t register exactly what you’re doing because it lacks that repetition.
Try installing it across more machines and get some reps in that way:
Having one machine working well just won’t get you the exposure you need. Identify some goal of anything you want working, and set about doing it the hard way.
