CRTs don’t have pixels so the resolution of the signal isn’t that important. It’s about the inherent softness you get from the technology. It’s better than any anti-aliasing we have today.

Copied from another comment I wrote about that:
Because snaps are terrible. They constantly break parts of apps for no reason. If you have container issues with a flatpak, just use flatseal to punch a hole through the container. With snaps, people will tell you to install the non-snap version because that’s easier than beating snap into submission. I learned that the hard way when I had a university project with kubernetes and docker was installed as a snap. I spent way too much time trying to make it work at all before giving up and switching to a VM on my work laptop where it went surprisingly smooth without snaps.
Flatpaks are better in every way and since this isn’t about money, we should all just move on and use the best tool for the job.
But what does canonical think should happen when you run sudo apt install firefox
and press Y
?
That’s right, you now have firefox as a snap. Have fun waiting for 5 seconds every time you start it.
Shit like that scares new users away from linux as a whole
Have you compared NES games on a CRT with the same games on a modern screen?
CRTs just look miles better.
Something like mint or fedora is just as easy to install and has less issues than ubuntu (snaps)
Use something other than gnome and, while you’re at it, you might as well use something other than ubuntu.
KDE is very hard to break, you can go wild with customization there.
Unfortunately you need something with long firmware and software support. Qualcomm is your enemy, they stop updating the firmware of their chips after about two years and that’s why android phones often stop getting updates less than 2 years after you buy them.
Installing arch is a great way to learn. Also don’t be scared of daily driving it, it’s not like it breaks twice a week. More like once a year, which is better than ubuntu in my experience.
Meine elektrischen Außenspiegel sind Gold wert, wenn mal wieder ein Passat dicht auffährt und ich meinen eigenen Schatten auf Straßenschildern sehe.
Hier zwischen Karlsruhe und Heidelberg fährt jeder dritte VW (inklusive Audi, Skoda, Seat und dem Rest des Konzerns) mit komplett verstellten Scheinwerfern rum. Ich glaube es gibt in der Gegend die eine oder andere Werkstatt, die Glühbirnen austauscht und dann die Scheinwerfer einfach wieder irgendwie zusammenbaut.
Bei den LED-Scheinwerfern passiert das mit VW aber auch extrem oft, als würden sie ab Werk einfach gar nichts einstellen und die Verantwortung an die Händler abgeben. Die Händler stellen nämlich mit Sicherheit nichts ein.
Over here in germany, tipping is synonymous with cash and using the tip feature of apps is frowned upon because it adds an unnecessary middleman.
Not sure how transferrable that is to other countries, us germans really like cash.
90hz screen with 180hz polling is what my phone uses as well, it’s nice that the deck has now caught up to that.
Also remember to leave your original deck on when downloading games on the new one so it can transfer them locally, which should be faster. There’s a setting for that, but I think it’s on by default.
Try Smarttube, it’s a joy to use.
I use SmartTube on my android TV and it’s great. If you can find an android TV box that doesn’t come with malware preinstalled or get android running on the pi, I highly recommend it.
A linux PC would involve some amount of tinkering.
The steam deck is foolproof, a 6 year old can play games on it with no issues, so it’s a console. The PC mode is just a nice extra.
It was already discovered that that was a big and game devs need to fix it manually for now.
We’re lucky to have valve. They actually managed to make a console without the downsides of a console.
My OLED deck has arrived today, can’t wait to use it.
My personal machines are all on linux already. But unfortunately my work laptop isn’t and won’t be unless I find a different job.
Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Win is one of the most windows things that could happen. You just press some keys that should do nothing and boom, microsoft ad. I hope the EU version of windows will be stripped of that crap.
Because it isn’t anything new.
Definitely make sure your GPU supports 8k at reasonable refresh rates before buying anything. During the early days of 4k, monitor makers would get a lot of unhappy customers who learned the hard way that their macbook only does 4k at 30hz.
Maybe they fixed that part, but that isn’t a good thing. Now you can’t feel whether something is installed as snap and will probably run into snap issues without a clue what could be causing them.
