SomethingBurger,

It’s a super common use case to have a primary monitor with high refresh rate and VRR, plus one or two cheaper monitors that don’t. Xorg doesn’t really support that at all without some really hokey tricks that severely impede usability.

I wish Wayland shills would stop spreading this lie. It literally just works. In fact, I’m doing it now on my laptop with a 144Hz 1080p monitor, and an external 60Hz 1440p monitor connected with Thunderbolt, with a dual-GPU setup (iGPU + nVidia, which Wayland doesn’t properly support, yet this is nVidia’s fault somehow even though Wayland compositors run entirely in user space, without interacting with the driver directly).

SomethingBurger,

No.

Remember DL-6!

SomethingBurger,

Paperless often randomly stops accepting new documents. I have to wait several hours or restart it.

SomethingBurger,

Making everyone think Hitler was German is Austria’s biggest victory.

SomethingBurger,

I went to the hospital once and had to pay for parking! I will never financially recover from this.

SomethingBurger,

I have a weak chin and can’t grow a beard 🥲

SomethingBurger,

Nobody:

You: usually i think it’s cringe when people shit on the linguistics of memes, but this is the most non-pov “pov” post i’ve ever seen. the meaning would be the EXACT same if they just hadn’t included the dumbass “pov:” part. fucking spotify marketing intern ass buzzword

SomethingBurger,

Laoganma balls lmao

SomethingBurger,

What you describe is actually how it works. If they actually sent all you say to their servers, it would be trivial to detect with a network analyser.

SomethingBurger, (edited )

It’s a valid complaint. Why is Shakespeare more legitimate than, say, Stephen King for high school classes? Reading is reading, and asking students to read boring books because “they are classics” is the best way to discourage them.

In high school, I had to read Phèdre, a story told in verses about some incestuous rednecks from Greek mythology or whatever, written in the 1600’s. It was painful.

SomethingBurger,

Momoa does Brazilian jiu-jitsu though.

SomethingBurger,

The difference is, cars are better than horses. Windows 8, 10 and 11 are all worse than 7.

SomethingBurger,

How so? 7 is the last good version of Windows. It’s not surprising some people want to keep using it. It does have security issues but at least there are no ads in the Start menu and it doesn’t shill for OneDrive on startup.

SomethingBurger,

Nothing, it’s still Windows. But at least it doesn’t actively get in the user’s way.

SomethingBurger,

Je vous demande de vous arrêter.

SomethingBurger,

Does clicking on it open the mixer, or still the useless menu which should be accessible with a right click instead?

SomethingBurger,

This is not what they are saying.

A crash in the window manager takes down all running applications

This does not happen on Xorg. If the WM crashes, it’s possible to kill it and restart it without exiting running applications.

How do y'all deal with programs not supported on Linux?

I’ve been seeing all these posts about Linux lately, and looking at them, I can honestly see the appeal. I’d love having so much autonomy over the OS I use, and customize it however I like, even having so many options to choose from when it comes to distros. The only thing holding me back, however, is incompatibility issues....

SomethingBurger,

Depends on the program.

  • Games: Proton works well 99% of the time.
  • Office: I use LibreOffice as much as possible. At work, I use the Web version of MS Office; it doesn’t have all features of the desktop version but it’s good enough for my use case.
  • Media editing (music, image, video): GIMP, Krita, Kdenlive and Ardour are more than enough for my personal use.

In general, I would recommend trying the Linux alternative, and if it’s not good enough, use a Windows VM or dual-boot. If you spend 90% of your time in Photoshop or any other professional software without a Linux version or feature-complete alternative, you should stay on Windows, and maybe use Linux only when you’re not working.

SomethingBurger,

What filesystem is on the disk? If it’s NTFS, you’ll need to fix it on Windows (right click, Properties, Tools, Check).

SomethingBurger,

ntfsfix but in my experience it doesn’t really work if it can’t mount the drive in the first place.

SomethingBurger,

Raising Elephants Is So Utterly Boring

SomethingBurger,

Sometimes it’s not possible if everything crashed.

SomethingBurger,

Mozilla hired the dev, and K9 will be renamed to Thunderbird next month.
