As with most LTT technical content it rubs me the wrong way.
Weird ass hardware = weird ass issues. 99% of these you won't encounter on a more normal desktop or laptop setup. Your average user doesn't have a 1440p monitor next to a damn giant 4k/8k oled TV or use EVERYTHING through thunderbolt.
I really wish they did this on laptops and desktops normal people would use instead of exotic desktops with crazy ass peripherals. Not surprised at all as it makes good content.
- hatch_q 5y agoBut normal people use exotic hardware. From RGB lights in their cases, weird external storage with usb hubs to triple-monitor setup. I'm a long-time linux user - i actually buy hardware based on Linux support.
- ubercow13 5y agoThose things don't seem weird at all? Having one new main monitor and a second older monitor with a different resolution that was previously your main monitor? Connecting everything through thunderbolt like every mac user? And anyone who connects some headphones to their laptop now has multiple audio outputs. I think the video is very reasonable. The monitors didn't work because nouveau is bad and because of uninteresting political/licensing issues with nVidia. The Pop install was bricked because of a packaging mistake on the part of Pop. These are not self-inflicted issues due to obscure hardware.
