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.
53·13 days agoThere isn’t one and this place will gas light you.
Those recommending bazzite, the new hotness, are ignoring a host of issues that typical users, especially Nvidia owners will run into.
You have 2 ways to go. Deal with windows being annoying, or get good enough with Linux desktop to understand and fix all the shit.
Bazzite is probably the way to go if you want to learn it and are comfortable running containers to get the apps you need. Flatpack is still garbage.
Jumping in this, bingo. JavaScript only shops scare the fuck out of me.
Because nerds like to be smarter and “more efficient”.
God forbid you fuck around when PHP though!
Gnome-randr
You got me! Idiots 🤣
I know I’m so stupid for putting in the generic! Just Linux things. The fact that two of you did the same exact thing is mind boggling.
Such SIMP ing lololol
No u.
Sorry you’ve got me. I mixed up Gnome and the generic.
No, it’s not. Similar issues a few years ago in Debian as well.
Nope. I’m just a dum dum who can’t figure out a computer.
I just don’t understand why we can’t be realistic about these real barriers to entry.
I know, every time it’s rare. It’s not a real issue. I chose the wrong distro. I have the wrong graphics card. I should have known to use kde over gnome for this use case. I should have known that electron and Wayland were a mess at the time despite being the recommended desktop, I’m always holding my phone incorrectly.
I write terraform and go modules all day but I’m just somehow always unlucky in discovering these issues over 15 years of off and on trying different distros over the years.
