  • honestly Ubuntu is getting too much shit by the Linux forum dwellers. it works great, is newbie friendly, and a lot of very specialized industry software, if they support any Linux whatsoever, it’s gonna be Ubuntu. I’ve started out with Ubuntu and if it wasn’t for them, i might not have sticked to it long enough to make it to arch by now




  • one of the few upvoters here 😂 this is mostly not wrong. most people don’t give a shit, don’t be mad just because you don’t like the truth. however, I’m still gonna blame billionaires, or by extension anyone with the mindset of trying to become a rich person. all of these rats actively undermine democracy using highly effective lobby campaigns. you can only blame the plebs to some degree. they’re stupid but also too stupid to fix it. meanwhile most people with higher education have no sense of compassion and just afford themselves a few more blissful years. we’re cooked, guys, time to finish what you wanted to do in life and get ready for the bad days 😂








  • I’m on endeavour, though i also really liked manjaro. in terms of nvidia+wayland I’d say it’s very flaky.

    • vrr works SOMETIMES. i have to log out and in 2-3 times into my account until the option shows in the settings, and also functions as proven using vrrtest-git
    • standby corrupts cuda and you’ll need to modprobe or reboot to fix it.
    • hdr shows up but looks really grey and colorless for me, but it might be my monitor’s edid being faulty. kde’s sdr color vibrance option didn’t help.
    • external screens are dropping frames, down to 30fps, where it was fine on windows with 60.

    Keep in mind this is a 3060 laptop gpu. that means it could well be due to mux switching or whatever else. nonetheless i think nvidia seems more reliable on xorg as of this point in time, and I’m not going to buy another nvidia gpu.

    this might not apply to desktop cpus at all but i thought I’d share these in case someone else has the issues as well and knows a fix, or knows for sure it’s better on desktop, so i can reconsider my stance for a tower build 🤔


  • SitD@lemy.loltoLinux@lemmy.mlWhy do you still hate Windows?

    there are too many little details to point out but windows just controls your experience too much. for example on a widescreen i don’t want to be forced to have the taskbar on the long edge. and up to including w10 the taskbar placement could be chosen. in windows 11 it’s forbidden… i installed a software to hack this but of course then explorer.exe breaks every 10 minutes.

    the spirit of computer technology is a universal tool. Microsoft strongarms the user to be a tool. so no thanks
