Similarly to the “just move” when people talk about home prices, this argument holds up as long as there are alternatives.

I live in the middle of corn fields and hour out of the largest city in the province. I work from home on most days, and take the train to the office downtown a couple of days a month. I’m a tech lead in insurance, somewhat in between management and programming.

Ah, yeah fair enough.

I do see an image on Voyager iOS

Interesting. Do they tend to have the same kind of returns?

Eh, they just don’t pre-build and publish the image themselves. Why assume malice? 🤷‍♂️

Btw, Fossil isn’t really a wiki software but a full on source control system a la git, with its own front end, that includes a wiki. It’s developed and used by the SQLite developers. It’s a single executable, so it’s pretty easy to run anywhere already, I assume they may just provide the Dockerfile for convenience…

I agree with the premise, but not your conclusions. I don’t think one should have to be able to justify why they like something. It’s by definition extremely subjective. You could have all the best arguments in the world that some game is on paper superior to another one, I may prefer the first cause of when I played it, or who I played it with, or just what it made us feel at a certain point in time.

To give you an example in another order or idea, I’m a classically trained pianist. I was raised with Beethoven and Bach. I then expanded to all sorts of metal, jazz, progressive, experimental or ethnic/traditional stuff. I should technically hate everything about it, but I’m also a sucker for pop punk. I know it’s musically trash, that they aren’t particularly good musicians, that most of the songwriting in the genre is extremely uninspired and generic, but I still love a good catchy hook that makes me feel like I’m a kid riding on my skateboard, listening to Blink or Good Charlotte on my Discman.

However, yes, I have to agree that many gamers, and IMHO, more generally, many we’d qualify as the “nerdy” type, myself included, seems to like to pretend like they know more than they actually do. I try not to, nowadays, but teenage me half a lifetime ago seemingly thought otherwise…

I’ve yet to hit that second issue about compatibility in 4 years using mine with a combination of Mac, Windows 10/11 and Linux machines. But yes, agreed about that first point. It’s easier to rearrange a couple of physical screens than mess around with software.

Not a fair comparison at all though. A 34” 1440p UW is basically like taking a 27” 1440p and adding another ~66% to the original width. It’s physically smaller than two 16:9 monitors of comparable density.

3 monitors side by side takes up a lot more space. The 2x23” I have stacked on top of my 34” ultrawide are already much wider than the UW. I couldn’t fit three monitors on my larger than average desk made out of an IKEA tabletop, without removing my speakers and having the side monitors overhang.

I didn’t mention Wayland cause he mentioned using Plasma, which still defaults to X11 as of v5, and both DEs in question support X1, so the Gnome/KDE dichotomy didn’t make much sense to me in that context.

Utiliser Bock-Côté, Facal et Durocher comme arguments, dans un seul commentaire, faut oser, quand même 😬

I use Mint, PopOS, or Arch/EndeavourOS more or less interchangeably. I've sincerely never had any issues with Arch's stability. The term "stable" when describing a distro refers more to the package versions than system stability or overall reliability. Things aren't necessarily broken cause they're more up to date. Back in 2020, my laptop didn't play well with Ubuntu 20.04 because of some power management issue caused by a kernel bug. My only real option was getting off of LTS and switching to 20.10 which had a newer fixed kernel version. So in effect, the Ubuntu LTS was less "stable" for me because of them keeping the kernel version stable.

YMMV, obviously, but most of what I'm doing when doing a fresh install is installing the packages I need, and configuring them. I can do this pretty much regardless of the distro. Most of the difference is if those packages are available in the first place, and how I'll have to install them if they aren't in the base repositories. Configs/dotfiles are usually pretty portable. The rest is just well... Linux as usual.
