I really wish more people understood the paradox of tolerance.

I've been documenting my experience with switching over to linux and how it's gone. Day 1 and 2 posts have been made.
Fedora is terrible from my day 1 experience.
Which is encouraging. It's been a relatively silent genocide for decades, and while it's good to see people waking up, it's almost too late. Kinda like climate change.
When the week is out I'm most likely going to do a fresh install to clear up my sandbox bullshit and changes I made but didn't fully understand following other tutorials that didn't help.
I'm worried about some of the files I edited being somehow dependent on this program and getting edited back somehow. I've saved it to my 'in case of bullshit and you have to reinstall here's how to do things' file. I pretty much guarantee I'll come around to it sometime this week as I stumble through getting this fully set up. I haven't even touched my hotas setup yet, or my elgato stream deck, Nor have I even begun to poke at the full range of apps on here.
When everything is set up and I have a full list of notes on how to do everything I fully intend on running through it again though for real just so there's not a bunch of inept changes I made and didn't understand.
Well shit, I just figured out the scaling issue. That was legit a noob move. The scale control is in the Nvidia controls on windows. On linux it's under the xorg settings. So, one less thing to complain about.
distro?
I actually fixed it, you can see what I did on the day 2 post.
Basically had to modify the file that controls samba sharing, then install another program that does the mounting, then modify that mounting program to do sambav1. It was a bitch and is a process only those of us actually using the ASUS routers deal with since I'm convinced those are the last pieces of hardware produced locked into samba v1.
Try a samba v1 network drive and get back to me.
Jesus, now you tell me. Tempting to undo everything and give that a spin, but on the otherhand shit's actually working right now.
Or.... and hear me out here. I could use my router as I bought it for and continue to use samba and the FTP server that it so graciously provides me. If someone wants to see what TV shows I watch, what books I read, and what porn I'm into they're welcome to it. There's nothing on that drive that would cost me money or that I ultimately care about, and on the rare occasion I do have to put something on there that is important, it's easy enough to password encrypt a zip file until I get it somewhere a tad more secure.
It's actually super convenient, and was easy to set up and get connected on my phone and various devices. Strangely enough Linux was the only one of literally every OS that exists that gave me issues, imagine that.
I may... someday soon replace the firmware on my router with some after market shit that upgrades the samba version, but I've had a bad time with firmware updates in the past and I don't have $300 to replace a high end router at the moment.
You can read about my experience with Fedora on my day 1 post if you'd like. Bottom line, there were a TON of issues with Nvidia compatibility, and VLC ran like garbage on it.
