Pretty insightful commentary from someone who isn't a complete ignoramus like Linus Cuck Tips.

What he said about DaVinci Resolve not resizing... Gnome footfags BTFO. He wouldn't have had that issue on Plasma.

Sounds like someone who hasn't tried Kwin and its window rules options.

If you have problems with monitor setup in X, it's probably whatever thing you use on top of bare X being retarded. Just learn to use xrandr directly.

The actual issue I have is that I have to manually select one of my monitor presets every time I boot up. It defaults to screen mirroring. It's Arch with XFCE and Chicago 95. I have been unable to find a correction to this, but hitting Super+P isn't that big a deal, so I also haven't looked all that hard.

Maybe it's a bug with the more recent xfce release? Because on 4.16 the multimonitor settings are always remembered but I could be wrong.
 
I use Manjaro on a separate SSD (I still use Windows because Counter Strike runs better on my decent RTX 4060 craptop). I had to use it because for some fucking reason Arch Linux couldn't find my network (probably because of some security shit on my laptop, but I am not sure still).

I overhauled it to use Hyprland in the style of the old Windows 3/Windows 9X Operating Systems, though I am thinking of changing it to look like NeXTStep. I love it, but I do have to admit that it's more of a novelty to me just so i can learn more so how operating systems and Linux works.

So Wayland has (basically) no color management. And the devs... don't seem to care. I guess it's like network remote windowing, it's just not important to them.

It's difficult to describe just how hard that gimps (hah) Wayland for any photo/video work. It's quite amazing to see the cope about it on forums.

While X11 perfectly supports color management, lmao. I wonder though, what is HDR really useful for, aside for photo/video editing? I ask because sadly X11 does not support it.

Well, if I've learned anything from this, this further solidifies my hatred of GNOME. KDE is miles better and it's not even comparable anymore.

I think it does if you're a reasonable person with two of the same monitor. I, however, am not reasonable, so I have one nice monitor, and the secondary is literally the cheapest one I could get from my local electronics shop.

In fairness, this is everyone except for corporations which just pick whatever Dell has at a certain price point.
 
i think you boys would enjoy this.
there is this dude i came across recently called bog, from what i gathered from a glance at his videos. he's a mac soydev of some description, moved to windows but kept a macbook around as a laptop.
however recently he's taken an interest in linux. first with mint, then fucking arch.
dude goes from babys first linux to the second circle of hell the distro.
dude didn't even use the arch install script for his first try in a vm, it's clear he's very new to linux as a whole and has an actual interest in learning it, even reading comments on the videos to see what he got wrong.
i quite enjoy his approach to learning, he does not get embarrassed nor angry that he was wrong, but instead learns from his mistakes and improves as a result.
i hope to see more of this type of content in the future as it's genuinely insightful and interesting to see how such a unique linux noob approaches these problems.
also do keep in mind his editing style is very zoomer like but the content itself is worth putting up with it.

It's refreshing to see people stand up to computers instead of letting them win over them and just giving up, even sharing what they learned after a success. Consider me impressed.

I recommend Andrea Borman, pretty much sits right next to ExplainingComputers for me.
