don’t even have to know what mesa is, it’s just there and it does its job quietly

too bad daita seems to double the battery consumption

hdr works i believe (i don’t use it, like it, so not sure) and if i understood correctly, vrr won’t work in kernel 7.2 either

I’ve been using linux with 4k120 tv with amd gpu for about half a year. dp to hdmi 2.1 cable works without issues.

recently tried every single one there and none worked. most of them would not load the show i tried to see and the ones that would load up, showed some completely random video.

5 was the only one i ever tried, and the camera angle was too much. couldn’t see shit. very narrow fov and can’t see past the character…

my new ps4 controller also does only about 6-8 hours, but that’s with vibration turned on

nah i used mint for years with nvidia, it got good at least a couple years ago. i still have a thinkpad with nvidia running ultramarine, and i haven’t thought about the drivers even once after installing.

on the dumber side of the fence, sister was complaining about nvidia drivers being shitty on winslop, now she switched to amd and the drivers are way shittier.

funny how it turned this way.

i also used smb share with a mini pc, but then i learned about jellyfin and that’s been pretty solid

then there’s me, pirating for the last 20 years, but just a couple years ago switched from utorrent to qbit, still finds 99% of my stuff from 1337x, can’t be arsed to learn what trackers even are.

if it had mouse steering. a good one. not like project cars, but more like LFS

i looked up multiple guides to enable flatpaks and all i achieved was that i could install them from terminal, but the apps never actually appeared so i couldn’t run them.
took me a while to realize the default store is snap only, but i couldn’t install another store either (can’t remember why). if i wasn’t so pissed i probably could’ve figured it out, but steam not working was too much of a dealbreaker that it wasn’t worth the effort

i don’t recommend ubuntu anymore. recently tried it on my laptop and holy hell it’s bad. couldn’t install flatpaks and the only way to install from repo was to use terminal. couldn’t get any version of steam to work at all. and I’ve been a linux user for years now…

also for some reason mint wouldn’t install on the same thinkpad, the installer wouldn’t boot at all, just gave some grub message. also fedora was no success, the usb media wasn’t recognized. ultramarine finally worked even though it’s just fedora with tweaks. some say it’s a bad thing to have tons of distros, but for me it’s been a blessing. one distro won’t work for every pc.
