  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.

    I've spent ways less time editing the windows registry than I've spent trying to fix all the dual monitor bugs with linux.

    Windows issues/changes are a 30 second google search away, linux issues often enough require a 1 hour deep dive into multiple forums.

    Have you googled Windows issues? Every problem apparently is fixed by running chkdsk or download a "driver updater". And it wasn't exactly good in the past either.

    [–] stranger@lemm.ee 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    If you don't know what to search, how to word it, or where to look instead of clicking the first link with "[SOLUTION]" then maybe you shouldn't be troubleshooting...

    Oh come off it. Obviosuly you don't click those the problem is the Microsoft support articles are outdated/missing and their own forums aren't much better.

    The chaff you have to cut through for Microsoft products is on another level.

    It... Depends... Also, you picked the wrong platform to argue against Linux on πŸ˜…

    [–] Donkter@lemmy.world 21 points 10 months ago

    The fact that you have to say it depends and wait for clarification of which exact flavor of Linux version and problem it is is just chef's kiss

    [–] Eheran@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

    Ah yes, no counter arguments here, only patting on the back while everyone takes turns looking down on a different group of people.

    [–] stranger@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

    I do technical support (mainly Windows but some Linux) and fully agree; most people just want to project for one reason or another. My main concern is privacy and bloat, but those are easy enough to address on either platform.

    Wayland pretty much solves every single dual monitor issue. Only problem now is getting complete Nvidia support and patching out edge cases. I dual monitor all the time, and not just normal dual monitor either, the monitor count increases or decreases on a whim and not a single screen in use are the same. They all have different refresh rates, resolutions, orientations, vrr & hdr support, color ranges, etc. everything works as expected.

    Last time I checked (during the installation of Fedora 39), HDR support was nearly non-existent in Linux, with the only options being some hacky experimental support for gaming via Gamescope. Has that changed in the last 6 months? It’s the only thing holding me back from jumping to Linux these days.

    [–] Rustmilian@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

    KDE Plasma 6 has experimental HDR support. The HDR Wayland protocol isn't finished just yet. Here's a good source.
