There are 4, already wealthy guys, doing it as a passion product.

So to be clear, you think every dev should give up their payday?

Copium.

Blah blah blah. The world isn’t fair. You don’t get to hand wave away MAJOR issues because they are hard.

“Oh it’ll be ready to switch, just research buy loads of specific equipment next time you buy a computer. I’m SURE you’ll find a nice Dell that’ll be exactly what you need and not a compromise 🙄”

Btw, since it’s so easy, what high quality 75 in TV comparable with an lgc2 is guaranteed to work with HDR, vrr, and or even just being detected after a power state change. Should I just buy another $2000 TV to enjoy Linux?

Delusional as Trump stuff.

I had to fuck around with both pipewire and gameconf just to get my HDMI audio “working”. I still haven’t figured out why HDR and vrr refuse to work. PoE2 will launch from the desktop but no no no, I use deck mode and crash, no monitor to display to. Turn off and on my display, of it’s fucking gone. Go unplug and put it back in EVERY TIME I WALK AWAY FROM MY COMPUTER FOR A MINUTE. My fucking Xbox and PS5 controllers get seconds off latency and even if I’m plugged in the Xbox controller STILL has issues maintaining a stable connection.

3 weeks into my bi yearly being tricked into thinking THIS is the year Linux DE becomes less a pain in the ass over windows DE and I’m ready to go back.

Am extra 4 fps isn’t worth the effort.

Ohh sorry, didn’t mean to come off like that, I was legitimately curious and went off into my rant about the community as a whole.

Do you have TV’s or HDMI audio through passthrough? I’m utterly convinced 98% of the Linux community has no clue. I regularly run into these issues across distros and I’ve basically become convinced that nearly everyone is running just standard monitors and wired in controllers.

It has to be a sampling problem.

Incorrect documentation, controller latency, having to write out configuration and scripts for pipewire to use my HDMI audio, same with HDMI displays and gnome, having to create new display modes so that games see and use them, missing vrr in many games, a wireless headset is missing the mic input, missing HDR in all games running in gamescope, and having to pull out and put back in my HDMI cord every time my display turns off.

Don’t get started about having to run a Debian container to run vscode because flatpack doesn’t work consistently.

Running a 3080, 12700k, and mostly standard hardware.

No, and this place will heavily gaslight you. Yes most games do work now, it just takes a ton of extra configuration and constantly getting shit like controllers working well.

Definitely don’t go find out what kind of life most build live. It ain’t long and you ain’t getting milked.

🤣 having the option to skip past the modern marvel of the modern supermarket and being able to skip right past the squash in February right to the frozen dinner meal option; is now worse than having the literal milk farmed from ya 🤣

Come on folks. Things are on a downward slope and shitty but y’all need to get your perspective in check.

You have a choice to skip the garbage and not eat like a pig as well.

Or a good one in DC 🤷‍♂️

One can always hope

I think a lot of it depends on how you feel about random people milking you all day until you are food.

👌👍 nerd

I have a 4 car garage, money to buy multiple used vehicles, and fix them up myself. Not many are so privileged.

Sorry, not trying to argue with you too if that came off wrong!

No I’m mostly in my Miata or my bike. Again, y’all just invent things.

Yep. But I’m not out hating people over it. I’d actually like to know.

Everyone I know uses them pretty consistently to tow. I know of one or two people who don’t use it well. I think a portion of them probably could get away with a ranger.

In the absence of any real data, trying to roughly include my small suburban town just outside of rural (more used and working class users) anecdotally it wouldn’t surprise me to see anywhere between 20-35% of owners not having any sort of real use for their truck. I’d wager that most of those owners are new owners as well.

That’s not to say there aren’t dumb idiots living in downtown NYC being morons. I just don’t think it’s remotely as crazy as the fuck cars community would have you believe.
