Don’t care. When will it obey window manager hints like every well mannered software does?

It’s Dell, but in colour!

That being said, Dell has some great monitors.

The hardware was kind of ok, it’s really with the software that I had issues.

As an aside I tried to configure their email client for a friend a year or so ago and I’ve never seen such a convoluted piece of software. I thought accessibility was their thing, this was astoundingly Byzantine. Never seen anything like it before or since (in that class of software).

Wasn’t windows NT posix at one point?

It vaguely looks like Unix until you start to look at the directories (which aren’t standard any more), try to read the logs (which are fucking useless and look like what Windows outputs), or dig at anything beyond the shell. Then you see that they’ve completely scrambled the system. It’s infuriating.
I once got an Apple laptop around the time they switched away from Intel chips, I lasted about four months with it before running back to KDE. I hated that thing with a passion. And don’t get me started on the Apple software.

Maybe it got better since, maybe not, doesn’t matter, I won’t get near one of those things again.

The CPU runs Minix, are you going to tell me you don’t trust Minix now?

I’ve never had this kind of problem in several actual decades of running Linux. Mouse2 paste is great.

I conclude it’s a skill issue.

The display randomly freezing, fixed by cycling the monitor. Why, I’m not sure if anyone knows.

There have been boot crashes or oddities, mostly mitigated with passing parameters to the driver at boot. Only mostly though.

It’s not like AMD cards are flawless anyway, they’re plagued with weird bugs that are damn annoying as well. There’s no ideal solution.

But ar least it’s without features that few people are going to use, so there’s that.

By the look of it, it dates from the 1950s, maybe early 1960s I’d say.

Poor zypper gets forgotten again!

Is that still a thing? How come it’s still a thing?

ed is the standard text editor.

One of those articles had a guy commenting that OneDrive decided to purge a directory because it didn’t like what was in it, which; of course, led to the deleting of the original, synced, files. How people put up with this insanity is beyond me.

If it compiles too fast, you don’t have time to properly savour it.

Seems risky to me…

It’s traditional, it used to be done that way on old systems. It was done for extra luck I suppose.

Nowadays, shutdown syncs as a matter of fact, and filesystems are much less brittle.

What?

sync ; sync ; sync ; shutdown -h now

Or nothing!

For what it’s worth, I’m running a 5000x1200 (roughly) monitor with a 9070xt with no issues (in Linux).
