    Kde plasma is imparative to run for some 3D simulation programs if you’re going to go Linux. Like you cannot run them in any other distro. Full stop. The kits for these licenses just aren’t widely built in Linux land. Lots of restrictions even by the software developers themselves. I learned this while troubleshooting with them directly.

    As such you can end up with a black screen of nothing if you haven’t forced the dynamic display (on new ROG system only) forced onto dGPU in order to force nvidia. and yet I don’t have to do this with MSI. That said , unlike the asus, MSI is too dumb to understand in dual boot to keep the safe boot unlocked if switching between windows and Linux.

    it’s not just Linux vs windows. It’s the motherboards. I was not expecting that going in but here we are.

    And I don’t know why any of this requires nouveau to be blacklisted but it does

    If you haven’t had to deal with kde plasma for your needs, then yes: consider yourself lucky cuz more than two settings on the bios needs to change as well. And that’s not even going into the dual boot scenario. Which is fresh hell. Especially with the most recent upgrades with locks and dynamic cards. And learning that every motherboard handles it differently even if you have matched all other types of hardware.

    Just a reminder everyone’s needs are different. And some of this is way easier on windows if you’re arguing at just out of the box working

    Not that I’m regretting going Linux. I’m just regretting the fanbois who are insufferable and obnoxious since coming to Linux. Really rides on my patience after several installs and learning all this by hand.

    So many reveal that after I put the foot down all they did was just install to do some real basic shit and call it easy. They know nothing and need to sit down. Either help or Shut up, let people work through their required build.

    We can be better than this.

    kde plasma, changing the explicit driver is not such an easy task. And have to manually mess around with nouveau

    Or have a card that needs the bios set before defaulting nvidia for plasma.

    stuff you never ever have to think about on windows.

    Linux is not something that works out of the box for every need.

    Not a stab on Linux but this is more of a stab at the fanbois really gotta back down from gatekeeping as this is what I find the cringiest about Linux user base. Which I’m part of now so I see it as my duty to call this shit out and tell them to knock it off. It is full on obnoxious.

    Being fanboy elitist is not helping. In fact it’s cringe. Don’t be cringe.

    I will remind you : Nvidia is not easy on Linux. And so far as my research it never has.

    Windows you don’t have to think about it.

    That said, there is good help on it.

    So help.

    Be part of the solution. Not the problem. And especially don’t be another problem.

    I still think the coolest part is bringing up this fact whenever someone wants to feel like boasting how theyve exhausted their scientific research and insist about how consciousness is made up from the brain and how the brain is the entirety of our lived experience….

    Then I point out to them the plethora of sea creatures living life without a brain and in fact there have been studies on people whom they discovered had much if not most of their brain missing and still didn’t notice. Lived a perfectly normal life. Still had a consciousness. Still experienced love, happiness and fulfillment

    Anyways I digress. Our mind is not whatever our brain state is which is pretty fricken cool.

    So a closeted homosexual person targets and hurts other homosexual people for being open.

    Internalized hate is a thing.

    It should be called out for being homophobic too.

    And it is monster behaviour.

    Overt VS covert behaviour isn’t an excuse to pick the side of the monster here. In fact it is monster behaviour in itself because it’s Abuse by proxy.

    Don’t half ass this absurdity rabbit hole you started. Go all in.

    install your own water tank, haul your own waste, dispose of your own garbage and supply your own drinking water, better get rid of that washer dryer too. And get rid of that dishwasher. Better throw some wood working tutorials and build your own car, phone, chairs, stairs, table. Take a medical tutorial and diagnose your own cancer.

    None of this is plaigerized just for convenience.

    This is art. there is no good enough reason to plaigerize.

    Tom Clancy Usually r6

    Div2 also but all the other TC I have turned out to be Linux compliant.

    I heard destiny 2 is also not Linux compliant (I got bored of it though so it’s no longer in my list) all because bungie are fiercely against Linux.

    But these games are getting old and phasing out so …onto Linux!
