  • But how big is it (resolution/physical size) ?

    I feel like I will never go for more than present 4k with around 80cm width (but it is curved, so screen surface is enough), because if I try to stuff more windows visible at the same time, it becomes more info than I can process. So, unless I start building something like personal dashboard, this is my limit: finally see enough, do not get overwhelmed


  • Fairly limited tasks like backend development, yeah.

    But true I had no idea what people really use for graphics and sound, thank you for pointing thouse out.

    GUI for git, merge and diff does not bother me either, but that is a personal quirk. Thank you for those too, I will at least take a look

    You seem to have moderate expectations towards visual computing.

    Got me a hundred percent 🙂. Maybe when I have more money I will dive into the beautiful world of high-quality graphics



  • Games: nope. Same as someone above, I’ve got Cyberpunk on Linux

    Office/Adobe… may be a fair point for some Nvidia card: nope, works fine

    HDR: did not even bother to learn what is. Can be a fair point

    Fractional scaling - genuine question: who the hell ever needs this? I have gone from 1K resolution (standard laptop) to 2K to 2.5K to 34K with curved monitor and never ever ever did I think “hey, this big screen? I want everything bigger/smaller on it”. What do people use fractional scaling for?


  • Disclaimer: when I say “bullshit”, I do not mean “you are brainless fool”, I only mean “this idea is so ridiculously wrong it is time we put it to rest at last”

    No command lines ever for anything

    This annoys me so much I literally registered to answer: bullshit. Stop with that strawman, will ya all, Linux enthusiasts

    easy troubleshooting even your nan can follow

    Same level bullshit. Watch win (and mac?) being hell to debug

    every Linux user agrees it is the best Linux distribution

    Bullshit. See Win XP times with many custom-made “flavours”. That did nothing to make windows less popular

    when there is a single distribution

    Bullshit number one. Linux will become major thing as a result of people pushing back against corporate wall-gardening and spying and/or when it starts coming pre-installed (see Android phones for the latter). All the scary-command-line whining is just elitist bullshit
