@zl2tod @_elena Thank you much for very useful tip!I had many tabs indeed because I need them to keep a list of people from my "Notifications" who followed me to examine their profiles whether I want to follow back.

Why doesn't the error message say "Mastodon doesn't support tabs, close tabs"?And why does the message deliberately prevent typing?This way I don't know what to do to get rid of the message.

Also, how am I supposed to keep a list of people from my Notifications who followed me to examine their profiles whether I want to follow back?Just hovering over each of them takes about 10 seconds to display whether they follow me or not, which is a huge waste of time.

Have Mastodon authors actually tried to use Mastodon?I guess not.Did Mastodon do UX testing?

I don't understand why so few people are using Linux. It's so amazing! For example for just 740 MB of your hard disk space, you can have the astronomical program Stellarium, which displays a blank screen and doesn't react to clicking anywhere.

Q: Why do people use Photoshop instead of GIMP?

After 5 years or suffering I found out how to make Linux not grind to screeching halt every time a write is being performed to Raspberry Pi SD card:

Put
#!/bin/bash
echo 128 > /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/max_sectors_kb
echo bfq > /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/scheduler

into /usr/local/bin/set_scheds.sh . Put

[Unit]
Description=Set Schedulers
After=sysinit.target
[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/set_scheds.sh
RemainAfterExit=yes
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

into /etc/systemd/system/set_scheds.service . Do:
chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/set_scheds.sh
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable set_scheds.service
sudo systemctl start set_scheds.service

I asked a friend full time employed as Linux kernel developer. He didn't know. He didn't know the max_sectors_kb is actually a parameter of the I/O scheduler. I discovered it accidentally. The doc is bad.

IMO horrible UX.

@sutaio Opravená verze textu po 1/2 dni hledání v poznámkách jak se opraví vadná khmérská klávesnice v Linuxu (úplně skělá UX!)

បាទល្អជាងពេលដែលខ្ញុំសរសេរជាភាសាខ្មែរ គេនឹងដឹងថាមួយណាបោះចោល។

@sutaio IMO the user experience (UX) of Linux is absolutely horrible.

If your Khmer keyboard doesn't work on Linux and inputs nonsense characters instead of compound vowels like ោះ ​ ​ ​ ុំ ​ ​ ​in words like ខ្ញុំ ​ ​ ​ បោះ ​ ​ ​, add GTK_IM_MODULE=xim into /etc/environment and logout/login from X.Fixed for me both in RPi OS (Debian) and EndeavourOS (Arch).

I had to painstakingly search through 224 photos of 5 years old paper notes to find the proper Linux workaround to figure this out again after I was forced to reinstall due to Raspberry Pi OS not officially supporting major version upgrade and serious Linux kernel bugs like Copy Fail and Dirty Frag.

It's not obvious from the problem that this should be done. Why not ship Linux with properly working Khmer keyboard in the first place?
