UK. Yip. Water “hardness” varies across the country which means people usually prefer the taste of the water in the region they grow up in. Other than all the leaky underground pipes and lack of investment in a privatised service, UK water is actaully very good.

I got “To the Moon” for free (steam gift). Not saying I cried, but I cried.

Until we have physical, undeniable evidence it is all just words. But, the reason I talk out load when I’m alone is for the aliens who might be watching me. I want them to hear my explanations for why I’m worth visiting personally / why I’m reading memes and not building a star gate out a 7 toasters and a mountain bike.

I’m on the cusp off jumping to Arch. Before I do I’m replacing my rtx 3080 with an RX 6800 XT. They are close enough in performance and identical pricing on eBay.

I’ve done a bunch of testing and found great support for all my hardware except my Razer Ripsaw HDMI capture device, which I can replace with something supported. It is just the Nvidia bullshit holding me back.

Curious. Seems to work both ways.

I’d like to explore messing with custom kernels but I’ve got a bunch to learn first. In the mean time it kinda feels like I’m stuck with no straight forward or standard way to ensure multiple monitors works at least. I’ve spent 2 days on this and still found no answer so I’m hoping someone will post a helpful hint or 2.

Sounds like a driver problem. What kernel are you using, and have you tried running Mesa-git?

I’m not messing with the kernal at this point, just using whatever gets installed by default. I haven’t looked at Mesa-git. If messing about with the kernel is required I might just wait until wayland and kde have matured enough to support adaptive sync and multi monitors better.

You can’t find any errors because there are none. The brightness changing with the refresh rate is sadly how most monitors work today, and can’t really be fixed. It’s the whole reason for why adaptive sync is not set to always by default.

I also tried “auto” which seemed to be ok for a few seconds but then behaved the same as always. I can live without it for desktop stuff, my concern is adaptive sync won’t be on in games without enabling that settings.

Easy of use and general look and feel have always been less than ideal on windows. The real advantage of windows over Linux is hardware support. And don’t say it all just works, because it does not.
