a distro where you don't type all your etc files by hand is not worth using tbh

just tried to install gnome 3 on a clean install of debian in a vm - gnome wants me to remove sysv-init because gnome apparently depends on systemd and they conflict - fix that and try again - gnome appears to install correctly but does not start on boot and startx command missing - turns out gnome doesnt depend on x11 lol wtf - install that manually and try again - gnome starts but is in 640x480 - display settings doesnt detect my monitor and wont let me change the res - install vmware tools and restart - correct resolution now but display still not detected properly w/e - try to change the wallpaper - window flashes up then immediately disappears - look in syslog, turns out its segfaulted - google the error "Known bug. You can probably work-around it by setting the background through dconf. As for the grey background, that's unrelated, also known. You can workaround it by disabling desktop icons." l m a o what this is the exact kind of fuckin bullshit that put me off literally 10 years ago nothing loving works desktop linux is complete and utter poo poo

the only reason to install a desktop environment on linux is to have a "ha ha i tried using linux and it sucked lol" story to post in yospos if you have to do actual work on linux desktop then just install a window manager and pick a terminal you like and get to work if you want to use linux as a general purpose computer no you don't stop it

echinopsis posted:what linux people should do is find something that works an fuckin stick with it. that is all that's not the linux way. they prefer to let something approach working condition and then replace it with a broken total rewrite. this is mostly because fixing bugs is boring and nobody wants to do it and they're not getting paid so gently caress that.
