Linux - โI canโt hotplugโ
Or
Linux - โI canโt do fractional scalingโ
Or
Linux - โ so you want secure boot, a graphics card and full disk encryption, well hereโs a wiki based on the last version that might work, fuck tpm while we are at itโ
They all have their niche and strengths/weakensses
Fractional scalling works fine for me. Am I doing something wrong? How do I break it?
Itโs a global setting, not per monitor or per setup and also quite gimped. Also on Wayland, on my couple of setups. Itโs sucks ass.
Fractional scaling is per monitor on Wayland. (Unless it's GNOME that you are using?)
Then that means two major Wayland compositors (KDE and GNOME) support per monitor fractional scaling.
Which makes me more confused about the "global setting" problem as mentioned by the previous commenter...
I have never had a problem with hotplugging or fractional scaling
Try an egpu or thunderbolt dock.
Desktop Linux is well known for how compatible it is with proprietary graphics card drivers. I can only imagine the world of pain youโre going through with them being un/pluggable.
I mean. They kinda work. In that they donโt crash or freeze as often as they have. But leveraging them for workloads, including for things like video processing/encoding is no where near on par with windows versions of the same drivers.
I used one for a long time with no issues.
Linux - I hope you don't need to print anything because CUPS works intermittently at best.
Yeah that depends on the printer to be sure. But the common denominator there is printers fucking suck. Trying printing across AD domains or having usable point and print in windows without just saying fuck it and removing the print nightmare mitigation via regkey.
I use windows at work and I can say...fuck printers in general
I have had less trouble printing on Linux than on Windows. YMMV.
I never had printers behave well under windows either though
But that is because they are printers, and printers are gremlins that make sure to keep you off your work whenever they can.
Seriously, it is because printers need to convert analog to digital to analog, which is crazy difficult to get right.
It's a little known fact, that Linux only got to where it is, fueled by the rage against printers that gave birth to the GPL.
Weird, I have literally never had any issues with CUPS, in environments where Windows completely failed due to the drivers being for an older version or unsigned or such
Yeah I ran cups from when the distros first started pushing for it hard and it always just worked at the office.
Recently at home my wife's been complaining about air print not working well, so I decided to throw CUPS into a docker and have her use that as the interface. I don't know if it's my Wi-Fi network my printer or what but I've been fighting it for a solid week it'll work for a print or two maybe three and then nothing. Nope sorry that printer's not reachable anymore. Meanwhile all the windows boxes print to it just fine.
This is actually the problem. It detects my printers immediately but often fails to print.
Also removing CUPS will break other stuff.
Why is anyone requiring an Apple developed piece of software in Linux these days?
HDR
Fedora has literally all of this, out of the box. I mean so does Pop_OS!, but we don't talk about Pop_OS!
Wait, why don't we talk about Pop!_OS? I like Pop!_OS
Woah there! You're presenting facts and logic to this circlejerk community!
My personal favorite
Linux -โ batteries are made to be drained fastโ
Do you have a moment to talk about our lord and saviour, PopOS?
Haha. I have. Itโs awesome. But systemd boot is a victim of lack of secure boot.
On the one hand. The lack of grub fucking with the windows boot sector is awesome. But the lack of secure boot is kinda annoying. Especially if you dual boot.
I just installed grub because LINUX. grub-customizer does a good job of keeping my menuentries consistent between updates.
rEFInd or bust
My laptop on battery lasts about 6 to 7 hours on Linux. It's about an hour shorter than Windows but nowhere near "drained fast" territory.
Now... if I use X11 that's a whole other story! Somehow the battery life is cut in half because of higher GPU usage, and I still can't figure out what causes it.
what an absolute reddit-tier comment
Wow there! This user shared personal experiences with GNU/Linux that you refer to as facts and logic to propogate even more circlejerk!
