Due to poor sound and visual editing from the last decade

I ain’t gonna disagree on this point.

But I will say not knowing about whatever popular franchise isn’t a crime. And I’m tired of people pretending like they have to “keep up” with everything even if they have no real interest in it.

Same with movies.

It’s annoying when you ask someone if they’ve seen a film you loved. Only for when you start talking about it, they reveal they just watched a Youtube summary and ruined the whole thing for themselves…

after hours of trying to enable audio, I failed

For me running pipewire as a service even with the aid of wireplumber didn’t work at all.

I had pipewire as an autostart script in KDE for it to work. ONLY that worked, not even launching it manually from the terminal worked.

documented well.

I’m gonna disagree on this point, I tried Void both on a VM and a spare SSD and I found the documentation was lacking. Or in the case of getting pipewire working I had to go to Reddit to find a workaround as none of the official ways to set it up worked on my systems. And it was far from the last time I had to find an undocumented solution to an issue I was facing.

I really like the idea of a completely independent distro purpose built instead of just “scraping the mold off” existing distros. But I had enough headaches with Void that I ended up on Artix, which mostly has worked out the same as Endeavour/Arch which I was using previously.

Hopefully I can try again in the future and have a better time, since I do applaud the developers for multiple reasons.

The lack of headphone jack is still a deal breaker for me on phones. My first flip-phone needed a dongle to use and I think I wore out or lost about 4 before getting an iPod. I never want to go back to that…

Currently using a Sony Xperia 1 III running LineageOS. Really hoping the upcoming Motorola/GrapheneOS phones have a jack…

I REALLY don’t understand this part. Not requiring disclosure is one thing (that I already don’t approve of).

But out right stating you shouldn’t be open with users and contributors just goes against I want in an open-source project. It’s already got me looking into Sway.

I also feel a bit bitter since I literally donated money to a project I assumed wasn’t huffing the Ai Jenkem and I could keep using and recommending in good faith for the foreseeable future.
