Which is why decentralised open source platforms are very important.

Companies are going to shit more quickly these days

Quite literally in this case

This was common in budget laptops 10 years ago. I had a Asus laptop with the same resolution and I have seen others with this resolution as well

My suspicion is that there’s some kind of extra data being pushed over the HDMI, since the Smart Board is more than just a monitor

Yeah I have similar suspicions. Maybe some non standard HDMI protocols or extensions at play. After all it is a patented, closed source protocol. Standard monitors and TVs (smart or otherwise) connect without any issue.

I would start by asking in the ublue Discord. There may be an easy fix, or they may direct you to the project where you should file a bug report.

Thanks for the advice. I will start with this.

So from some of your comments, it seems that by sharpness, you are referring to the sharpness of text in gnome on high resolution displays (4k in your case) when compared to macos or windows. Well in my experience, text rendering in Linux hasn’t been as good as the macos or windows but it has been improving steadily. If I remember correctly, the differences lie in the anti aliasing done to text to make them sharper. Somebody please correct me if I am wrong.

Also maybe edit your post to mention that the high quality you are talking about is the sharpness of font rendering.

26th and 27th December

That is one solution lmao

Hey are you still facing this issue. I also faced this twice on fedora 41 silverblue but it seems to have resolved itself after some updates

This is not a malfunctioning hardware thing. I faced the same issue for a few days on silverblue, where my 2 year old zen3 laptop would slow down to a crawl and eventually the gnome-shell would freeze. Somehow it resolved itself somewhere between kernel and gnome-shell + mutter updates

Dude UI (and anything to do with looks) is always a subjective thing. Some people will like it and some people will hate it. I know every dev wants their UI to be loved by everyone but that’s a fools errand as there are always people with opposing opinions. What matters is that that you like what you have created. Also know that there are people like me and many others who use photon daily and love the design. Don’t let subjective opinions get you down.

Between this comment about arch and the other comment about opensuse, it must only be apt which has issues with large updates with complicated dependency chains. I remember 5-6 years ago Ubuntu borking itself when I tried to update after a decent gap and had 100+ packages to update. There is also the fact that people used to advice me to make a clean install in lieu of updating whenever a new version of Ubuntu dropped.

Well in an immutable distro, there is little to no chance for the system to end up in an unusable state (I guess it is the same for distros which apply the updates atomically). Traditional distros are far more likely to bork when so much shit is updated at once

Damn. You have my respect.

safe at home behind a screen.

You have to define safe here. Investing in starting a business, even one involving sitting behind a screen and writing code, involves a appreciable amount of risk of losing your money. In no way is that person in a position of safety.

I would actually like to see if gen Z are more risk averse when it comes to participating in adventure sports - mountain climbing/rock climbing, skydiving, rafting in fast flowing water, etc

I urge people to please read the article. When you read it properly, you can see that it mentions that Gen Z are emotionally risk averse but says nothing about their risk taking in other avenues like finance, entrepreneurship, career direction, etc.

In fact, the Forbes article clearly shows how Gen Z are taking more risks in entrepreneurship and work related activities.

But conservatives are terrified of their neighbors, for some reason. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Can’t blame them. Most conservatives in the USA are unstable, gun wielding nuts.

This could be promising depending on how well they implement quality control. Currently, this is where Indian manufacturers struggle

The ultra 7 is actually a good all rounder. Decent performance (well balanced between gaming and production workloads), good efficiency and good pricing with respect to the AMD options. AMD is of course better for pure productivity (9950x), pure gaming (7800x3d and the upcoming 9800x3d) and is better at the low end (7600, 7600x)

If you are speaking about stock Linux mint Xfce, with the default kernal, mesa version etc., your support for very new hardware - Arrow lake, battlemage and RDNA 4 will be imperfect. In general, very new hardware (launched within the last 6 months) will not be supported properly because the lts kernel being used was written before these products were launched
