Been using Qubes 10 years, I was here when this toxic “community” was created and have watched it slide into garbage.
This is the second time performing a mundane user action nuked my entire laptop.
(insulting / non-constructive criticism)
marmarek STILL has no sense of quality control or respect for users.
Erroneous upgrade instructions reported in December still aren’t fixed. Someone from the community even made a PR to fix. It is being ignored. Toxic, dysfunctional, garbage.
Someone upthead said the upgrade is working fine. lol! You can find MANY people dominating results with borked installs on a simple forum search for 4.3 upgrade Search results for '4.3 upgrade ' - Qubes OS Forum
The first hit it someone hitting my exact issue in December
Someone on the team tries to claim it is due to edge case weird setups. Nope! I am using only standard templates, nothing weird in dom0, ultra basic 4.2 install, still failed.
(insulting language)
QUBES SUCKS. Garbage battery life, endless Xen exploits, toxic community that would rather mod the forum than commit a docs PR or test install scripts. And I bring up my laptop getting borked twice with this OS and you just get a bunch of Stockholm syndrome posters trying to claim this is some weird exception. Qubes has NEVER actually worked well. If you actually had used it as long as me and watched its long slide
you would know this. Some day you will.
As for my tone, I used to try and be positive, offer fixes, make tutorial or two. I had it with being condescended to and actively told my work wasn’t welcome by people like …. Well I won’t name them but two names come straight to mind. People pretending to be helpful stewards but just shutting people out and gatekeeping. Ya I’m bitter, because I offered to help and was shut out. So here we are. I’ll just say: this sucks. Bad software bad community.
