I know it’s a joke, I hate to be that guy. But this meme feels old and obsolete now. I can’t remember the last time I had to tweak my Linux. The fun is gone
Cool! Maybe I can challenge you. Can you help me figure out how I can get my Hyprland session back on my Arch install? I have a Radeon 7700 XT and I recently installed an RTX 4070 to assist with some compute tasks. With both cards installed GDM doesn’t populate the Hyprland option. If I remove the 4070 everything goes back to normal.
(This is also a joke, you don’t need to help me troubleshoot this.)
(Unless you actually know how in which case I can pay you $20 for your time)
Haha, I was hoping that because all my monitors are plugged into my AMD card that it wouldn’t cause as many issues, but I was mistaken.
I’m looking at it as an opportunity to learn more about the Linux kernel, the order that certain modules are being loaded in, and environment variables.
Can i interest you on the deep customization of nixos?
Jokes aside. I don’t really use the deep patching nix enables. The area of customization i want: look and feel of applications. It’s not something that’s doable really. Desktops are just different ways to launch a web browser T_T
Last week for me lol.
AMD DRM bug in the kernel that prevents certain 3D rendering or something. Most games through WINE/proton was broken. Had to downgrade the kernel.
Wouldn’t call that fun as it prevented one of the very few days per month I get to play games with some of my friends
It’s interesting to read people’s issues on Linux. It seems almost all of them come from the graphic stack and gaming. Using an Intel card I haven’t seen an issue in forever.
Do you have multiple monitors?
Yes - Don’t buy a mac
No - Still don’t buy a mac
I have a Mac with multiple monitors. It handles them a hell of a lot better than my PC at work.
I dont think it’s even possible to use more than two monitors on a M series computer (maybe except if you spend extra for the max edition)
That is only the case on the base model chips. The Pro, Max, and Ultra chips all support multiple monitors.
I mean, yeah, don’t ever buy a Mac, but what’s up with the multiple monitors? Do they struggle with it?
macOS out of the box fucking sucks for monitor scaling with third party monitors. It’s honestly laughable for a modern OS. You can install some third party software that fixes it completely, but it really shouldn’t be necessary. I use an (admittedly pretty strange) LG DualUp monitor as a secondary, and out of the box macOS can only make everything either extremely tiny, extremely large, or blurry.
Other than that, I’ve had no problems at all, and the window scaling between different DPI monitors is a lot smoother than it was with Windows previously.
The base model chips only supports 2 monitors. The Pro, Max, and Ultra chips all support multiple monitors.
For me it’s that compared to windows and linux, handling multiple windows between screens is always problematic, and is made worse by alt-tab bringing up all the windows for an application, which means they pop up in the other monitors too which isn’t usually what I want. Maximizing is usually not as straightforward as one would hope, and the dock moves to any window if you leave your pointer at the bottom which can get annoying fast. As some point out apparently there’s 3rd party software that allows you to fix these issues, but that’s not an option for me because I use a locked-down Mac for work and can’t install 3rd party software, so I’m stuck with the annoying base behavior.
$ pacman -Si god
error: package 'god' was not found
Take that, theists!
I have tried templeOS. It is amazing one guy built all that. It feels like it needs training sessions to make better use of it, and also it is wacky as hell

Seems the description of MS Office.
I can be as rich as god and wouldn’t go for windows or apple. I would rather invest the money in good Foss development
Being a support person, if I was rich enough to frivolously buy systems, I’d have at least one of each as a reference system. Yes, I know, vms, but that’s for saving money/space. Especially MAC I’d have some hardware too. Definitely not a main system though. I currently have a broken Mac and a cheap chromebook for that reason, though due to being broken the Mac is rather useless now. When it worked I often used it to help test/troubleshooting customer stuff.
