Well I broke my computer. Lol Been trying to get any os back on it for like 5 hours now
flash complete, installing now
Yo it has the res setting I was trying to get out of the box on the live disk, heck yeah
Most "user error" caveat possible here, I stopped after step 5 and before step 6 cause it seemed to just put me back into 1080p at 120hz when I tried to go from 2160 30hz to 60hz.
Also I tried using the display config but the native res at 60hz isn't available (max 30) and no 1440p is available double checks that display config in system setting sis the same as the shortcut in right click desktop Yeah I tried the right thing, just doesn't have the option. Windows 10 and 11 do.
Edit: Live disk of Nobura has the res setting I want, just installing that
I'm running Plasma X11. Xrandr let me add a custom res/refresh setting it just didn't actually do the thing. I thought it did cause the refresh went up but I think it jsut put me on 1080p instead? Should prolly try following the guide from the beginning again, maybe I just had a typo or skipped step I missed.
Yeah sure why not - I'll grab the official and see how that theme of KDE is cause I can just swap to regular if I don't like the tweaks. Also I have a Steam deck, the idea of linux by way of GE is appealing. If Steam's wasn't locked down I'd be in favour of just using the deck's distro for desktop. I assume they have one but have had issues with that protect me from myself not letting me install things heh.
In my experience people treat you a little better when they actually hit you. Tho I've only actually been hit once.
forward: This is jsut a ramble cause we seem to agree or close enough and I took the chance to vent about politics shit stressing me lol
The Bernie years, for me, were "This guy is just offering New Deal white supremacy again and they still would kill everyone before letting him win"
I don't say that to be some ultra "I'm the one true leftist" because I voted for him too, had to write him in for even the primary in 2020 cause Texas but I get having hope cause I did, too, even when it was over. I got on with Bernie people both times he ran because it was hope for something even a tiny bit better. But that's what he was. That's why a small segment of the liberal opposition could say with a straight face there were racism and sexism problems in his base. . . because there is in any base which can bring itself to support any American politician. The Warren people were right, too "He's basically the same so vote for the woman", he was, he is, they agree on almost everything except Bernie can be really excellent at appealing to people by sounding good in the way we're more likely to recognize and not think is condescending faff.
Biden is just . .. he's a stereotype, I mean all successful politicians are archetypal characters more than people, but he's every segregationist Democrat who loves 50s nostalgia I've ever met. He's a young dad in the 1970s going to a Grease party because that's how he wants to remember the 50s.
I dunno if there ever was a world where Bernie could have been FDR 2.0 - he didn't have the class connections which made FDR possible, but that's not the path our timeline took, possible or not.
Unthinkable? I don't think so.
I think the main thing that's becoming obvious in the past 8 years is that the Obama years were an illusion. He was politically progressive, sure, but what he was progressive towards was an increasingly brutal fascist empire, just like every one else.
People who think the racists left the Democratic party with Reagan have been demonstrably proven wrong over, and over, and over since Clinton, they just never quite quit telling the lie.
The presumption the Democrats are even mildly less racist because of their love of meritocracy, solely when rich citizens of the US are concerned, even with all those qualifiers it's wrong. The Democrats are who they were when I was a kid here in Texoma - the people who wouldn't vote for a Republican because they're the party of the rich, the north, and cause of the Civil War (y'all should meet my papa sometime, it'd change how you see this country).
I don't really have a coherent way to distill the country as I see it compared to the constant pretense Democrats are different than the republicans in any fashion apart from the exact manner in which they're vile condescending villains, but the sooner the left stops talking about progressives like that's something anyone should be, the better. CAuse they sure as hell ain't what you think they are, I don't care if they kinda-sorta-maybe-implied they might be okay with an anti-racist policy sometime far in the future. Besides which, Liberals are conservatives now, in the literal sense. They are the reactionary party. Fascism isn't a reaction to Capital in crisis - it's a revolutionary expansionist project. What people mean by fascism when they call it reactionary is just when fascism starts killing white people. Fascism is real long, long before then.
What scares me lately is, since Biden, the Blue MAGA insurgency in the Democrats are going ham as well. I don't really think America needs a conservative party, but we're about to have two revolutionary parties, both worse than the present. Hell, maybe we already do and it's just hard to tell how much it's changed while the changes are still happening.
Tried nobara, broke my PC somehow lol. Can't install an os on any drive even after formatting them
