Is there a FUN distro?
I used to love Slackware, cause it was completely different from all modern distros and I thought it didn't take itself too seriously.
Boy was I wrong when I peaked behind the curtain.But are there others that are kinda made with a smile and a wink?
I was looking at Puppy and RebeccaBlackOS. but am open to suggestions.-
Boy have I got news for you...

KDE 4?
What is this, Judy Garland Linux?

Plot twist: It's the Dwarf Fortress kind of fun

It is fun in the same sense that getting slapped by you partner is fun.
You have to be the type.
-
I ditched Windows for Linux some weeks ago precisely so that my OS stops fucking me over.
-
Windows slaps you because what are you gonna do about it
Linux slaps you because be better than this

I feel this. I've been spending two hours trying to get my wireless Xbox controller to work.. Installing the xone packages causes freezes and kernel panicks..
-
Weird, I use arch (btw) and a generic Bluetooth driver and have had zero issues with my wireless Xbox controller.. Never needed xbox-specific packages
-
Hmmm... that's strange. Afaik, Xbox controllers should be very well supported out of the box in most distros.
Ahhhh, I see. I did a bit of reading out of curiousity. You're looking to have it work wirelessly. Hmm. I see a forum post troubleshooting the same thing recommending a package called xpadneo. There's a github page for it here and it seems to have some package maintainers in a handful of distros (you can use the manual method if your distro isn't listed).
I checked it on the AUR, the most up to date maintained package was from last December, so the app seems fairly up to date(ish). If you want to see the forum post I was talking about its this one.
Good luck, hope you get it working.

What distro are you using?
-
You're using Microsoft's dongle or your own Bluetooth one?

My experience with Linux is mostly "I need to do "thing". Spend like 10 minutes searching for how to do thing. Find the app that does it. Spend another 10 minutes figuring out how to navigate the UI. Try to do thing. There's some error due to the file being on a network share, or another package needs to be installed or it only works if you do it in one particular unintuitive way the developers came up with. Spend another 20 minutes to 3 hours looking online and trying to decipher documentation and trying shit to get it working. Probably about 50% successful overall.
I do not find it "Fun" the only reason I'm trying is because of the rate Windows is also breaking shit I do. Really just hating dealing with computers at all these days.

I have 15 years of linux experience and do infinite free troubleshooting on matrix, feel free to message me
-
My experience is just saying "Yeah I don't need this anyways" to anything that doesn't work and i can't / don't want to fix.
-
Just duck.ai everything. It's mostly good advice.

It's fun once you get all your stuff working and know what you're doing. Even then it can be a challenge at times. I started in 1998 with suse Linux and it was just a brag back then.
-
oh it's the "au lot" guy
-
Yeah, moving files among FS and loading programs from disk to RAM is FUN! Or do you use OSes for something else?
-
We make the colours on the glowing rectangle change in a pleasing way.
I like to game how I can use as few key presses as possible to get my desired colours to show up. Sometimes figuring that out is even more fun than the end result.

Computers? Fun!? Whatever, nerds.
