You sudo'd a downloader for a script from the Internet? This is like a step above

It's the official github. Am I supposed to be worried that they uploaded a fucking virus to it or something?You sudo'd a downloader for a script from the Internet? This is like a step abovecurl https://justfuckmyshit.up | bash
Correction: it's just wget, not sudo wget

There's generally very little reason to escalate any kind of software installation that you do outside of your package manager all the way to root. The example given in the instructions even uses a user-specific directory (
~/.local/bin). Virus or not, it's best to be careful. Another point of concern would be the jeetification of the installer you're downloading, but it's inapplicable in this case because it's a single file download. Here's a decade old example of what I mean, from a company I happen to enjoy ayylawging:

Why would the leave the / on the end???
Hopefully they were at least somehow checking it with an if statement. Or a few.

pipx is a way to get python packages for use in CLI/scripting
It creates isolated environments per, and it allows you to avoid polluting your system python installation, but without needing a conda environment, or needing to activate it.
The caveat is that these libraries aren't really available as libraries, but rather CLI tools
It's my preferred way of installing stuff like black or mypy.
It's also useful for testing python based CLI utilities, as you can just install from the built wheel as needed.

Really, is:
Really so hard?
obviously you can also replace
Code:
python3 -m venv yt-dlp
# Module venv not found.
# Fuck
sudo apt install python3-venv
python3 -m venv yt-dlp
cd yt-dlp
. ./bin/activate
pip install yt-dlpobviously you can also replace
pip install yt-dlp with git clone https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp.git ; cd yt-dlp ; pip install . and there are a few other modules you might want.

I stand corrected. I found the installation instructions I used for yt-dlp.
Apparently I was misremembering because it's been a while.
Anyway, I was wondering if it's possible to change the sorting method to the one that Windows uses. I've been using (, ), and ; to make sure that important folders/files are at the very top of the page for a decade, and Linux's sorting method is fucking me over right now. Switching to ASCII didn't help much, because it still puts numbers before symbols. Maybe some autist has made a custom collation file or something?

Have you tried setting LC_COLLATE to "C" or "C.utf8" and see if that's more to your liking?

Use the damn numbers. That's why they're there. Or prepend a-z, aa-zz, whatever, man. Take acid and come up with something completely arcane. But stop trying to interfere with the sort. Work with it. It will improve sanity in the long run, I promise.

I thought I had it set to C, but apparently Nemo is ignoring that in favor of its own sorting method.
I think you're misunderstanding something. My issue isn't that I don't want to do something new going forward. My issue is that I've been doing it this way for over a decade. I have hundreds of files and folders that I've done this with, and I have no interest in spending a week doing nothing but changing them all to use this new sorting method.

I come to my fellow Kiwis as a last resort. I need help fixing my niche use-case issue that I cannot find info on anywhere else online.
I live in a tiny studio apartment and I've got my desk set up in the corner with my PC. No issues there, everything's golden. However, when I game I like to do so from the couch in front of the TV I spent too much money on. So naturally I have an HDMI cable connected to my TV as well as my monitor. The problem is that when I have my GPU connected to my monitor and TV at the same time, I experience lag and stuttering. Not just while gaming, even scrolling through a web page will stutter and hitch. There are no problems when it's either just the monitor or just the TV connected.
An astute Kiwi will say "well, just don't have both connected at the same time." And they would be correct. That fixes the problem, but my weapons-grade autism will not accept this. In my mind, there shouldn't be a reason I can't enjoy my PC while it's connected to both my monitor and my TV. It is simply ridiculous and I won't accept it. Both are set to the same refresh rate and resolution, so save your breath if you think I haven't tried the obvious fixes. The problem persists even if my monitor or the TV is turned off, which further perplexes me.
I'm on Arch, but I don't know how much that matters because this happened when I was using Mint earlier. It happens with both an Nvidia and an AMD GPU so drivers probably aren't the problem. It does not happen if I boot into my Windows drive, which leads me to believe the problem is somewhere with Linux.

- Are they set to the same refresh rate? Or is one set to 1080p @ 59.94hz and one to 1080p @ 60.00hz?

Or a cheap KVM switch. GPU sends signal to it, it passes the signal to one display, you press a button and it switches. Usually they are used the opposite way, to have multiple machines with the same periphery, so make sure it supports that (or is bidirectional).

It's kind of pedantic, but you'd actually want a HDMI splitter. Switch would be multiple input to single display (e.g. a PS4 and Xbox connected to the same TV). A splitter would be the other way, 1 input (your PC) gets pushed to two displays.
Are you doing duplicate for the output when both are connected, or extend?

An HDMI splitter mirrors to both displays the same image, which can be troublesome if the displays have different resolutions. But honestly if the resolution is the same it's probably the easiest solution because you don't have to toggle or move anything. You wont be able to have different things on each screen but seems like that won't be a common use case

You're right. No one cares about people posting on kiwifarms. There aren't people in the UK in jail for years for mean words online, ofcom isn't monitoring the kiwifarms and responding to changes within hours, and there definitely aren't a bunch of trannies trying to take down the farms and dox users. You are a fucking retard.
and learn some fucking grammar for christ sake.

Makes me think it's related to how gay and retarded the hdmi standards are. Like not being able to use HDMI2.1 in open source drivers, leading to much worse performance on any open source driver, like amd. I imagine something could because of arbitrary restrictions place on linux, or other companies by the hdmi forum. Which btw, if you don't hate the hdmi forum, you aren't autistic enough. IMO.
Anway. sounds like the switch people suggested is probably a good solution.

God I hate the HDMI forum. Because of them I have to use a USB-C->HDMI cable to connect my monitor to my motherboard, because if I plug the HDMI directly into the motherboard the driver bandwidth is limited such that I'm stuck with 4k@60. Since USB-C->HDMI is technically a DP-signal being tunneled through two very different connectors, it therefore is allowed to use the full bandwidth of the ports, and I can run my monitor at its native 4k@120.
