  • Do not set up multiple APs. Use a real mesh network designed to be used together.

    Multiple APs with the same SSID will not only interfere with each other, they will hold on to clients for way longer than they should, meaning as you walk around the house, you’ll have super weak connections, even if you’re close to the next AP.

    Mesh networks talk to each other over a lower band to coordinate both interference and clients, so they work way better.

    If you must have a specific router, just use it as a router, and set up the mesh router and satellites in AP mode.






  • As long as he keeps to himself, I don’t care. It’s when he a. annoys me or other devs by asking questions that are already answered in the documentation or readily available online, or b. tells people how hard/terrible Linux is because he had a bad experience using a thing he purposefully misunderstood, that he becomes a problem for the Linux community. Then, I care.

    We should not be encouraging people to try Linux if they are the kind of people who do those things.

    The next argument is, “well, we should make Linux friendly to Windows users,” and I think that mentality is disgusting. Windows has dog shit UX, and we 100% should not be borrowing from it.
