    Normal people (idiots) would rather spend 4 years of their overall life “hacking” with Windows to avoid 30 minutes learning to use a forward slash.

      I’ve spent ways less time editing the windows registry than I’ve spent trying to fix all the dual monitor bugs with linux.

      Windows issues/changes are a 30 second google search away, linux issues often enough require a 1 hour deep dive into multiple forums.

        Wayland pretty much solves every single dual monitor issue. Only problem now is getting complete Nvidia support and patching out edge cases. I dual monitor all the time, and not just normal dual monitor either, the monitor count increases or decreases on a whim and not a single screen in use are the same. They all have different refresh rates, resolutions, orientations, vrr & hdr support, color ranges, etc. everything works as expected.

          Last time I checked (during the installation of Fedora 39), HDR support was nearly non-existent in Linux, with the only options being some hacky experimental support for gaming via Gamescope. Has that changed in the last 6 months? It’s the only thing holding me back from jumping to Linux these days.

            KDE Plasma 6 has experimental HDR support. The HDR Wayland protocol isn’t finished just yet. Here’s a good source.

      I mean it’s probably a similar amount of time and effort trying to fix Windows than it is learning to use Linux.

        I once spent several hours at work trying to mount a USB drive to red hat. I’ll keep fighting windows for now.

          I spent many years trying to fix Windows before moving…

          Just got tired of fixing the same bullshit over and over in this cat and mouse game trying to gain control of my computer.

            Yeah. If that’s not one of the first things IT did when they got hired, then you need a new IT. You seriously can’t trust anyone to not plug a random USB into volatile infostructure.

            Also, they could do it to prevent theft of their proprietary code and other things that you’d probably need to sign a NDA to even see in the first place.

      Tfw windows uses forward slashes too. Now let’s talk about how *nix is case sensitive because laziness.

      But all fall short of God’s glory that is Temple OS.

        I won’t have the perfect OS until I’ve rewritten Temple OS from scratch as Hannah Montana’s Temple, The OS

      You sound like an (idiot); you as an individual are not defined by your OS of preference of all things, and by all means, you are one of the normals.

      (Idiots)… Way to roast normal people. Don’t know if they will ever recover. The best bit was putting it in brackets.

      You are normal people.
