4K monitors don’t work in Linux? Lmao that’s demonstrably not true.
And what the hell ki d of scripts do you need to run at startup?

DeathsEmbrace@lemm.ee 4 weeks agoNo it literally doesn’t work it’s not compatible. Also don’t be a bitch Linux does not have the same perfect out of box play. Every game I can just run it without needing to worry about it being compatible. You literally need to use Proton which is *hint *hint compatibility layer that is not 100% compatible. There are games I literally can never play because it’s Linux. Also I have to manually add scripts to the startup which is not beginner friendly. Troubleshooting took me more time than windows ever did so no excuses from you Linux lovers I never once needed to troubleshoot running the OS from start. Also if you are using a 4K screen in 2024 not a single one of them works except for a few like Pop to me this is the only embarrassing part.

Out of the box 4K monitors don’t work on every Linux distribution. You need to modify them after but you can’t if you are using 4K. You need a 1920x1080 or smaller resolution first before you can use 4K. I should have said out of the box you can’t use 4K.

That is literally an outright lie lmao

You don’t know what you’re talking about. Go and check every distros default DPI.

Honestly it sounds like you suck more than linux does, because I have never had any of those problems. My 4k monitors have all worked perfectly, and with wayland i have a successful mixed resolution/scaling/refresh rate setup.
If anyone is being a bitch, its you. You sound salty as fuck.

I thought your first post was slightly aggressive but this post goes too far. We should be preaching the ethics of free software first; while always remembering everyday ethics so we don’t end up as hypocrites.
From what I’m hearing, Microsoft wants to ban anti-cheat and plenty of other kernel-space software. They are possible security issues (along with all of Windows).

My post you are replying to is absolutely aggressive and was 100% intended to be at the time. I am calmer now though.
The original post was not written with any aggression in mind. Could you expand on how it sounded that way? I didn’t feel any aggression until they started namecalling and making unfactual claims.
mightyfoolish@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
I thought the end was slightly passive aggressive. It wasn’t bad at all.
The other user did namecall first but I think we of the Linux community have to remember we used free software out of ethics. Things seem more rosy and user-friendly comparatively now but you have to remember the people who have the same ethics will “stick it out” regardless of the end user experience.

Average response when I ask for help with linux on forums
trevor@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 weeks ago
That is a really interesting way of asking for help. Next time I need help, I’ll try being obstinate and predetermining that the thing I need help with just doesn’t work while calling them a bitch and see how that goes.
I usually try actually asking for help and refrain from calling the person I’m talking to a bitch.

This isn’t a help forum and I don’t ask for help here you might not understand this but not every game is compatible and there are enough games that aren’t compatible for me to not switch because of it. Some VR games I can just forget Linux. ProtonDB is a good source as well. I think you’re projecting you need help onto me.

Can none of yall read usernames? Not the same guy

Check the username dude wrong person, besides you started the whole thing by accusing them of goalpost moving.
DeathsEmbrace@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
Yeah because you use the few distributions that work with 4k like I explained. There are enough that literally don’t work because you need a 1920x1080 or similar monitor to then switch DPI to make 4k compatible.
