arch seems the coolest, with Wayland, kde, hyperland customization

While I have no experience with Unreal Engine, so I can't give an informed recommendation, I just figured I'd point out that you can do this with every distro

"and the word 'dog' with the word 'son'."

 

I have a 144Hz ultrawide monitor, and recently I bought another little monitor for music/Discord. However, even though I'm running it on Wayland, If I try to change the framerate of the big monitor in KDE settings, it spits out an error (something about the framerate not being compatible with the driver - unfortunately I can't check it anymore) and doesn't change it. This is on Arch running the latest plasma-meta, and an AMD GPU.

I've tried looking for a solution to this problem, but practically all of them just say "use Wayland", which I already am. I found a Debian Bookworm USB I had lying around and thought I'd see if the issue persisted. It turns out that it doesn't - It works perfectly.

Does anybody have any ideas as to why this doesn't work on a newer version of Plasma?

I'm not necessarily against switching to Debian to get this working, it's just that Arch is what I'm used to.

Are movies and TV shows really accurate when it comes to American attitudes towards cars? I remember watching something where a character lamented how old their 5-year-old car was. This simply does not compute to me. My mortgage is less than the equivalent of $1000 USD a month - I'd much rather have an "old" car.

When I was in high school I used to bike practically everywhere.

A few years ago I got a bike again in the hopes that using it would improve my health. Despite still living in the same city I now felt so unsafe on the road that I sold it after a few months.

I work in ecommerce, so the answer is "ours". I get far too many calls saying "Do you sell x", or "How much is y", and because of how terrible our website's search function is, I can't just say "use the fucking website, that's what it's there for" like I desperately want to.

We all know they use Signal, anyway.

I still use Firefox despite Mozilla because fuck Google.

I tried Librewolf, but YouTube (yeah, I know) ran like crap on it for some reason.

Custom ROMs were always a pretty niche thing, and they've become much less worth it since:

Stock Android doesn't suck as much as it used to

Banking Apps aren't guaranteed to work

VoLTE doesn't work (this might depend on phone model)

Most manufacturers now offer software support for a reasonable length of time

So unless there's an old feature you want to keep (LG Quad DAC diehards represent), or you're super privacy-conscious, most people aren't going to bother.

Me saying "RIP" was an attempt at hyperbole. That being said, shoehorning AI into something for which a big selling point is that it's user-made is a gigantic misstep - Maybe they'll listen to everybody, but given that they tried it at all, I can't see them properly backing down. Especially when it was worded as "pausing" the experiment.
