gnome sucks my penor in every way I can imagine

2019-01-03 12:31:48 UTC  

why not ? if it works and has better support than others ? why switch

2019-01-03 12:33:24 UTC  

and switching whole codebase to some random new thing from gnome would take years

2019-01-03 12:33:41 UTC  

and introduce many bugs

2019-01-03 12:33:54 UTC  

and possible breaks we havent heard of on production side of things

2019-01-03 12:36:24 UTC  

just making all the tutorials,training videos etc broken by switching to different thing would break and lose many customers

yeah but you can use inertia to justify any stagnation.

2019-01-03 12:38:53 UTC  

the cost of moving from fax to email in the business environment was probably very high

2019-01-03 12:40:00 UTC  

most likely said move brought more benefit than costs

2019-01-03 12:40:11 UTC  

unlike breaking workflow and visual look of thousands and thousands of users

2019-01-03 12:47:20 UTC  

ye

@Deleted User did some digging and apparently the porcophones "ir" led is only used for facial rego and does not provice actual IR-port option out of the box

2019-01-03 13:41:46 UTC  

BUT if you contact some custom rom nerds i bet enabling that IR-led hardware to send user-controlled pulses can be done (on side note apparently lineage os has yet to get that ir-camera working properly but dunno if that is camera + led or just the camera controls what are buggy currently)

2019-01-03 13:44:03 UTC  

and as its not "proper Blaster" more like wide angle smd led its range can be low

2019-01-03 14:27:24 UTC  

Yeah I noticed it burning when i did the face rego

2019-01-03 14:27:53 UTC  

I'll probably just keep one of those .40$ pins around. Also makes for a nice gift

>linux is awful on HiDpi 4k screens

2019-01-03 16:12:42 UTC  

why didn't anyone tell me this

2019-01-03 16:13:14 UTC  

it's not?

2019-01-03 16:13:26 UTC  

solus has great HiDpi scaling

2019-01-03 16:20:26 UTC  

KDE and kwin in general have the best hidpi support

2019-01-03 16:20:44 UTC  

kwin is the only one with proper fractional scaling

2019-01-03 16:25:43 UTC  

"its not bad, its unimplemented"

t-thanks

>try to move window from one screen to the other

2019-01-03 16:47:36 UTC  

Just saying both OS aren't optimal in terms of multi monitor

2019-01-03 16:56:28 UTC  

that's a retarded setup though

2019-01-03 16:56:48 UTC  

I can't think of any situation where you might want to do that

2019-01-03 17:02:15 UTC  

I used to have that setup many years ago when having both the igpu and a gpu that supports two screens, but have 3 screens in total

2019-01-03 17:02:30 UTC  

10+ years ago it was quite usual for mid range gpus to support two screens only

2019-01-03 17:02:45 UTC  

Maybe it's less common today, but it was more common in past

2019-01-03 17:03:29 UTC  

now any dedicated gpu has at least 3 ports you can connect to

2019-01-03 17:03:37 UTC  

and with DP you only need one

2019-01-03 17:29:24 UTC  

ports do not equal connectable monitors

2019-01-03 17:29:35 UTC  

quite many GPUsonly supported 2 (on windows)

2019-01-03 17:29:50 UTC  

mostly due how the gpu architechture and drivers worked

2019-01-03 17:30:15 UTC  

specialy if you had VGA display connected
