- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 1 week ago:
Most of the time a popular distro just works, your special case did not. You should find the root cause, and report it. I’m sure windows is not bug free.

And also better than MacOS!

Linux itself is not the problem here. Which DE is it? Does it use X.org or wayland? If you disable the login manager, do the screens work in TTY right after the boot? If you use X.org, Sometimes X.org drivers needs to be configured, Some OSes come with X.org configs like Arch. So in Arch you usually just have to install the packages you need. If you use Wayland, try X.org.
Did you try windows and Linux on the same machine? Hardware limitation can cause such issues. But if it works with Windows but not with Linux then it’s not that.
Windows may use worse quality output, e.g. different refresh rate, different color profile to fit into the hardware bottleneck. You can also experiment with these.
USB controller kernel driver could also interfere in theory, you can try different kernel versions.
Multiple GPU setups have also many options that you can play with.
I hope it helps.
- Comment on YouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policy 3 weeks ago:
I mean… It’s already over-specified compared to others: “sex, gender or sexual orientation”. It’d be equally right to criticize religion for why don’t they write “belief, spiritualism, religion”, and to include identity, and expression.
They should just write “sex stuff”, and everyone is happy.

I’m not in favor of YouTube, but what exactly missing here?

hey it’s free money for France

Oh they do. They love type-c.
- Comment on Firefox Nightly Preps Progressive Web App Support 1 month ago:
My only problem with PWAs is that they have arbitrary security requirements. Anything non-localhost needs https. No self-signed cert allowed. Enforcing people to buy a router that supports dyndns for their self hosted apps is odd. I’m wondering who makes these rules.
- Comment on Google Photos will no longer sync with third-party digital photo frames 1 month ago:
The only problem is, my internet’s upload speed is slow as hell.
- Comment on Obsidian is now free for work - Obsidian 2 months ago:
It’s interesting that a closed-source app has good reputation among FOSS enthusiasts. Surely they are not a Microsoft or Apple, but still who controls your computer, you or them?

You may see shorts in lemmy in the near future because of that.
