  I remember that it used to work on my Garuda (Arch-based), but then one day it just went away and never came back. Considering issues like this it seems like it might be something cobbled-together by various distros rather than a default functionality of Wayland or KDE.

  It is out of the box. Meta + Arrow Keys and/OR Meta + PgUp.

  Ah, OK, nice! I didn’t see it as it’s not available via mouse, but found all those threads saying it doesn’t exist. Good to know!

  Confirmed works by FarrellPerks@feddit.uk in above comments

  Doesn’t work on Garuda (Arch-based) with KDE.

  Or rather: it used to work, but then just stopped.

  I don’t know about desktop towers, for laptop it is always only one instance — my laptop display, monitor is dark before I hit enter

  Interesting! On my laptop I also had two instances of SDDM.

  same happens on KDE Plasma.

  Not where I’m sitting. Tested via cat accidentally turning a monitor off. The browser window just stayed on that screen - the process was there, but the application was not available.

  Stability? Update management? Window tiling? What? Linux does have all of these things.

  No.

  In fact Linux is way more stable than Windows

  I install Windows and forget about it. I install Linux and have to do all this, and then it still might do this or this.

  Mind you, it does depend on the distro

  Agreed.

  and the amount of stability you want

  I want all the stability.

  but I have been running Debian servers for years and I hardly run into problems.

  Not talking about servers.

  But even then - at my last job we finally killed off a Windows Server that had an uptime of over 1000 days, just chugging along like a little trooper. At my previous-previous job I was responsible for the WinServer updates, every single one of them was getting monthly updates and reboots, didn’t have a single issue in 7 years. It was just shy of 100 servers.

  The only thing windows offers over Linux is gaming and a better UI. Even both of those are dwindling away. I hate the new windows 11 UI and most games work on Linux unless you require a rootkit for some anti cheat software.

  Agreed. I have Garuda Linux installed on my gaming PC and only had minor issues with three titles. It’s surprisingly frictionless.

  Especially when you’re on Arch with KDE, you don’t have:

  1. good update management
  2. window tiling
  3. saving window positions

  I know because I’m on Arch with KDE.

  By “good update management” I mean what MS does - all updates are pushed once a month, on Patch Tuesday (second Tuesday of the month). You can put it in your calendar and plan for a necessary reboot.

  I know Arch is a rolling release so it doesn’t have that on purpose, but it’s not much better with Ubuntu - I was getting updates every couple of days, once a week at best.

  Window tiling doesn’t exist “out of the box”, you need third party software (which, apparently still doesn’t give you what Windows has out of the box) or a switch from KDE to COSMIC, which still doesn’t give you the freedom of choice that Windows has (it’s either “everything is tiled” or “nothing is tiled”).

  Saving window positions (on Wayland) is the most confusing one, because it seems like the one that’d be the easiest to implement, but KDE devs just flat out refuse to do it. I hear that it works on X11.

  Multi-monitor support is piss poor. If I spread my windows across multiple monitors and then turn one monitor off, those windows are no longer accessible. SDDM displays the same interface on each monitor, and each is a separate instance of SDDM - meaning, you can type in your password on monitor 2, and if you press “OK” on monitor 1, it will fail, because the password field is empty. It’s just silly design. On Windows, if you disconnect an extra screen, all the content gets dropped on the main screen. Since Windows 11, if you then re-connect the screen, all windows will pop back into their places before the disconnect happened.

  No, I said exactly what I said - there’s a bunch of things (e.g. stability, updates management, features (like window tiling), etc.) that Windows has and Linux does not.

  There’s A LOT Linux does great. There’s also a lot Windows does great that Linux massively fails at.

  Even some silly things like multi-screen support or saving windows positions between reboots… Lots of small things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 11's adoption is much slower compared to Windows 10, claims Dell⁩ ⁨⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I really don’t see what more Windows has to offer than Linux

  Stability, updates management, built-in features (like window tiling), etc.

  Source: using Linux exclusively for almost a year now.

  +1

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I dunno⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, there are very few ambiguous cases when you know how the order of operations works.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Right, you only said it was “idiotic” to claim that any military was anything but moral

  Umm… Can you not read? Like, do you actually just see the letters and then just assume something about what they mean?

  Spend a month helping out with natural disasters, but then you go and murder one bunch of kids and everybody just remembers you as a child-murderer

  Yes, because that’s exclusively what soldiers do when on deployments. They literally only shoot children.

  EOT on my end. You’re just shouting naive platitudes from an imagined moral high ground, when in reality you’re just ignorant. No point continuing this thread.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:
  1. I never said anything even remotely similar to “the military is inherently moral”. Is moral of you to put words in others’ mouths?
  2. Military in normal countries is used in times of peace to help fighting natural disasters, like floods. I don’t see that as immoral. Do you?
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I dunno⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeyeyeye, sorry, long day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess you would just take the moral high ground, and allow anyone to take whatever is yours.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I dunno⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Because the people who learn “MA” or “AM” then spend hours online arguing that you must do one before the other.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree in principle. But in reality, as long as someone has military, everybody has to have it too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s called “not being an idiot and realising you not having military doesn’t protect you from the despot one border over who does”. You should read up on it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I dunno⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Division, Multiplication, Addition, and Subtraction

  This is fucking so many people over… It should be limited - like Orders - to only Multiplication and Addition.

  Because division is the same operation as multiplication, and subtraction is the same operation as addition, and they have the same “weight” in the order of operations (meaning, you do them left-to-right).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I dunno⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Multiplication sign is not required in situations like this. Same with unknowns - you don’t have to write 2*x, you just write 2x.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I dunno⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s no difference.

  Addition and subtraction are the same operation, multiplication and division are the same operations.

  So:

  BO(MD)(AS) == BO(DM)(AS)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  My opinion is that your work was very unethical from the get-go

  Calling any form of military “unethical” is the absolute peak level of clueless wishful thinking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yes, I definitely do see the irony of this being posted to X⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s sarcasm. Twitter introduced a feature that allows you to check the country from which an account was registered. Hundreds of pro-MAGA accounts turned out to be from the countries listed in the OP.

  I could never get into Gears due to writing. Tried 1 and 2, dropped both. I finished 5, almost binging it. It was super fun.

  Ignore the weirdos online claiming “the series is dead” because “wamen protag”. The character is fun, well written, and well acted.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Literally part of a plot in a video game, coming soon to a reality near you.

  Also, the original script for Matrix before they changed it to batteries (fearing that too few people would even understand what a CPU is at the time).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Screw it, I’m installing Linux⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I poked around the Net a bit here and there, tried a couple different solutions people suggested, but the only thing I managed to change was that the moment I clicked “Sleep”, the image on my monitors would completely freeze (as in: screens on, desktop and applications on full display), and the only solution was to do a hard reboot.

  So, basically, I just stopped clicking “Sleep”… :D

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Screw it, I’m installing Linux⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I had that on Kubuntu, Tuxedo OS and now I have it on Garuda Linux, so yeah.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Screw it, I’m installing Linux⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve looked into it a few times and all I can assume is it’s probably nvidia

  It’s not, I have something very similar and I have a Radeon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Had to look this up⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  In general, there are two main search indexes: Google’s and Bing’s, with a bunch of smaller ones here and there.

  DDG uses Bing and Yahoo, mainly. Their own index is relatively small.

  Brave says they use their own index.

  We’ll see what the benchmarks show.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Screw it, I’m installing Linux⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like Arch memes come from the fact that Arch - by default - doesn’t offer any fully fledged installer. You kind of build it yourself and configure everything manually. It’s something that’s become more tedious than difficult thanks to the amazing Wiki, which describes every step of the way.

  There’s still a bunch of hilarious “Arch Greybeards” going “ah, you used archinstall, so can you truly say you installed Arch” but otherwise a lot of users are not that technical.

  But, yeah, I decided to switch to something Arch-based because, like, 80% of the issues I had with Kubuntu/TuxedoOS eventually ended with someone linking an Arch Wiki article.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Screw it, I’m installing Linux⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Arch is a… Wait, let me rephrase: an Arch-based distro that leads the user by the hand when it comes to setting up the difficult stuff is a good choice, if only because of the Arch Wiki being the golden standard in terms of user-friendly documentation.
