   every time I get the urge to switch to linux full time I get reminded of something like "oh mtp has been broken for a decade and they are ever, ever going to fix it"

     @RustyCrab I do use Gnome as my DE so I can get a close enough Mac feel from it. I do have a Thinkpad for experimenting a trying things out.
     
     I'd never be able to dual boot. It'd drive me crazy.

     @RustyCrab I don't think I can use it full time. I'm too far into the Apple ecosystem at home. My job forces me into Windows at work so it is a no go there. I just use it for fun as an alternative at home.

     @RustyCrab some of that is more or less fair given that it can only do one operation at a time, and failures are more or less hand waved away with the everything or nothing approach to file transfers
     
     kde does it a bit differently, but at least gvfs-mtp via thunar has yet to exhibit a similar behavior 4me

     @i currently a pixel 6 pro and fedora, but it's been like this across 6 different distros and 4 different laptops and 3 different mainstream phones all intermingled over the course of 10 years. Same bug happens every time. Even the slightest interruption (or trying to cancel something like a copy operation that went off the rails) will cause the connection to become completely inoperable until both the computer and phone are restarted. Every time I have to hook up my phone to transfer files it's a nightmare that should have taken 5 minutes at most.
     
     I had the same feedback ("you're just doing it wrong bro") when I tried to tell people that dolphin couldn't copy files correctly and they only started admitting that after it got fixed (?) so you'll excuse my skepticism

     @sendpaws @i last phone I had I tried using nextcloud but I couldn't get it to accept a self signed cert for a home server and when I gave up and just used an insecure local connection it wouldn't transfer over 500kbps per second.
     
     Maybe syncthing has a sane option

     @i @sendpaws I should mentioned that "operation" interruption includes things like: double clicking on a folder, realizing you clicked the wrong one, then attempting to press the back button to go back to the parent folder. If the file query wasn't completed yet, the whole thing will "crash" and render the connection inoperable until the laptop and phone are both restarted.
     
     It's been like that with every phone and linux combo I've ever had. There's probably some cache I could clear or some driver I could restart but that probably isn't any easier than just rebooting.

     @sendpaws @RustyCrab because android didn't run a filesystem that windows could mount, so a fail safe thing that operates on files instead of blocks that could be sandboxed was chosen, that way some of the pre-existing cameras that did the same thing could communicate back via OTG too

     @RustyCrab as much as i hate the word, the open source culture is toxic. no one is allowed to complain, if something doesn't work it's a you problem, and if you want to complain about something you better fix it yourself and submit a patch. the result is that everything is broken and no one is going to do anything to fix it

     @Inginsub @RustyCrab That's also why everything newer is borked beyond repair and why 15+ year old software works better than the one written in $current_year-3. If I didn't go full Linux autism years ago and use Arch with a minimal WM setup and scripts I wrote, I would also probably just switch back to Windows, because the level of brokenness in DEs and apps around them is astounding.

     @waifu @RustyCrab Syncthing is goated, no need to connect and manually copy files, just start syncthing on the laptop and phone, then just wait until everything is all synced up.

     Your workflow requires one bad app, so you might just as well run all bad apps and a bad os toboot

     The true mark of a man who doesn't understand the concept: "Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good."

     @sun @RustyCrab as mischievous tomato pointed out in a rare good take, volunteers don’t get a pass to put out shit just because they are volunteers

     @Inginsub @RustyCrab imo you don't have to use it if it doesn't do what you want. but if a dev doesn't want to fix it they shouldn't be obnoxious about it. or pretend it's feature-complete, ready, or good. so I partially concede your point.

     @wowaname @Inginsub @RustyCrab passive-aggressive "why don't you code the fix and submit a patch" is so 1990s too yeah. don't patronize people for not being a prick with a coding degree

     @wowaname @RustyCrab @sun you’re mustang the point, the entire modern foss scene is built around pretending that free software is good. it will never get better if this continues

     @sun
     
     The toxic part is the social part of how they’ve run out a lot of good coders in the name of tolerance.
     
     The technically harmful part is assuming that won’t impact the code.
     
     The reality for people who would like to adopt open source is if you aren’t a coder you’re only going to get the feature or fix by luck. And if you learn it enough to do what you want, some narcissistic faggot is going to reject your patch for spurious reasons (or valid reasons, but you’ll be too green to address them) and you’ll have to maintain a patch set yourself.

     @Inginsub @RustyCrab @sun who's pretending? on average i find free alternatives to be vastly superior to their proprietary counterparts, with the additional benefit that (since i can actually write code, so i'm speaking from a privileged position) if i run into minor issues, i don't have to wait around for a new binary release in order to patch my own software right away.
     
     as i've said up-thread, i've been using primarily free software even on windows. by choice.
