This is true, China certainly hasn't helped the situation, although from where they were I can understand them wanting to capitalise on it. I just don't like it when people blanket say that things made in China are bad. The reputation is obviously there for a reason, but it's almost just as often western companies that share the blame for general low quality, mass produced, disposable things.

Understandable, have a nice day.

I have no love for Apple, I'm just referring to the build quality.

China just makes what people ask it to. So many places moved all their production to China for cheap labour, and most companies trying to skimp on one thing are also going to skimp on others like materials and quality control. iPhones are also made in China and most people consider them to be high quality. The problem is more just capitalism than China specifically.

I had been trying out Linux and finally decided to install it to my ssd. The timing ended up such that I got the wifi issues on the new install but not my old one, and they basically make the OS unusable. I didn't realise any of this and am new so did heaps of reinstalling and searching trying to figure out what had gone wrong since it was all fine when it was installed on my HDD.

I finally found some forum posts and bug reports about this after wasting a day assuming it was something I'd done wrong 😂.

Gonna stick to lts kernel from now on I think. 6.6.6 seemed pretty fitting to me, even if it was 6.6.5 that actually broke it.

It's a fish I'd like to duck.

Judge really couldn't find a better phrase than 'miscarriage of justice'

There may be a different setting somewhere for what you're talking about but when I tried that it just added more rows or columns of icons.

I keep hearing how customisable KDE is but I couldn't find a way to change how big the app icons in the application launcher were, they're so huge!

image reconstruction techniques?

I don't think either phrase is impolite. Good manners are a made up thing. If someone said 'thanks' to me and I said 'tiddle dee dee' I'm not being rude, just a bit weird, nobody's honour has been questioned, I haven't said anything that could be taken as an offence.

I know your initial question is just about finding a suitable community to talk to but I think people are giving you a hard time because there's no elaboration, perhaps if you'd just started out with the questions you had this would have went smoother.
