Wish I could be there!

Coming from the 9000 series, I am wondering what do you like about the 5700 series HAL?

I can swear I found a workaround for this, but I am no longer using the flat oak. I will dig through my notes and share a link if I can find it

What is it?

Same here, one nice new monitor plus 2 random old hand me downs. I hope you get an answer

sudo apt install hollywood

Did you then tell them “I use arch btw” and then get a confused question about architecture?

I use it to bridge Whatsapp, SMS, signal, and to receive any incoming messages on my inactive Instagram and Facebook Messenger accounts ( sometimes people contact me there). It’s a pretty nice client app, I use it on desktop too. I guess I never think about iMessage until I see reactions coming in as text haha

If I knew about all this pain many years ago when I bought my NVIDIA card, I would have done the same…

Just started on EOS this week after running Manjaro a few years back and then running Debian derivatives for a few years. I really like it, everything has been so smooth (well, other than some minor issues with upgrading to Plasma 6 yesterday I suppose, but that’s not in EOS I suppose). I was a little bit lazy about learning the ins and outs of pacman and yay, but I immediately found pacseek, which has been a pretty nice TUI package manager

And do anything you can possibly imagine with to a super granular level. I love me some KDE

Yup… I have made so many little bash scripts to do tweaks or customize new Linux installs for me using ChatGPT. I mean, I have coding experience (.NET, not much with bash) and could muddle through learning bash better and making those, but this is quicker and allows me to learn in the process by asking follow up questions about syntax and core Linux concepts.

My experience since I began using Linux full time for my main desktop, chronologically: Manjaro, Kubuntu, Debian stable, Debian testing, endeavourOS. Started EOS a week ago and I was shocked by how well everything worked out of the box. A bunch of things I had to tweak and fix before, like messing with NVIDIA drivers among other things, just worked perfectly out of the box. I tried it on a lark after borking something on my Debian system, kinda reluctantly since I had already made a massive script for customizing my Debian based KDE installs, but in the end I didn’t even feel like I needed it because it all just worked fine without all my scripted workarounds for everything. Really impressed. I just got the plasma 6 update a couple of hours ago and it’s mostly fine, dealing with a couple of issues before deciding whether I hit that timeshift restore and wait some more

That’s actually nice little bonus!

Of course it can…

😂 can I also run Doom on it?

I assume for charging you have to have the USB C one, and have it on a specific slot?

I guess that makes sense, I can still just put the dongle I already have for edge cases like plugging into a DisplayPort monitor, needing Ethernet, etc. Also I didn’t realize until someone else commented that they have extra storage ones, that would probably be one for me

Oh, they have extra storage cards, that’s pretty sweet actually

I have been eyeing a framework laptop. Just curious how you use the modular ports in your case: do you have different ones you swap sometimes?
