lol, I like your way with words. and I fully agree and share the sentiment(hence the meme).
I disliked crash reporting on windows precisely because of inability to cancel it(by the time you hit cancel, it might've already been sent).

nowadays, I don't use windows at all. sometimes I'm forced to use macos, and this popup comes up. I dislike this one too since I can't really see what it's going to send.

on my home machine I have Debian with i3 and xfce, which hasn't crashed a single time. and even if it does in some distant future, I'll be more than happy to send technical info to them.

Most apps don’t create error messages in the gui and that’s hard for average users to grasp.

I just went through 3 fucking days of troubleshooting why this program wont work. Finally issued a bug report, it got closed in 30 minutes, dev responded with "ya, those features are currently disabled, terminal will show you a warning when you launch it".

Great. And nothing for the GUI users?

The biggest annoyance to me is that Linux fanboys will say how you never have to touch a terminal if you don't want to, but when you bring up how ridiculous it is to disable features, keep them enabled on the GUI, and only throw a warning in the terminal, they'll tell you to use the terminal lol.

I am annoyed whenever I launched something from dmenu and I don’t get error output or logs anywhere.

I do wonder why you would have missing dependencies for all of these applications? Shouldn’t your package manager handle that…?

thanks! never clicked that for fear that they'd do something similar to windows.
I'll try it next time it comes up.

maybe there should be a third button for less confusion? or does it go against apple's "design" principles? :p

haven't used KDE, but it really looks an ideal crash reporter. even has stars for quality of logs.

Smash that cancel button!

if you want to see the logs you have eventmgr.msc which consolidates all logs in one place.

With proton, Linux can play almost all games just fine. Is it 100%? No. But it is good enough to no longer make that an excuse anymore.

what game can't you play on Linux ?

Dual boot or vm or use proton. The steam deck uses Linux and uses proton. I haven't had a game not run smoothly while using proton either.

Just use Bottles or Heroic Launcher to play the pirated games on your computer. Most of the games I tried have worked.

The only exceptions are Multiplayer games like Apex and valorant. Apex is not smooth enough to play competitively (last I checked was a few months ago) and Valorant doesnt work on Linux because of it's rootkit anti cheat. If you only play single player games Linux is definitely worth a shot.

If it weren't for a few Multiplayer games and my crappy epson printer I'd have completely wiped windows off of my computer.

Oh god, this gives me PTSD of trying to troubleshoots my buddies new machine which I built. I will die happy if I never have to so much as look at the event viewer ever again.
