Maybe you should stop being an ass and consider that when the product/brand has worked for MANY people, maybe the issue is you

Hmm. You’re right. It’s me with my exotic hardware and configurations, not the drivers that many other people outside of /r/linux routinely complain about. My bad. Different AMD drivers breaking some things and fixing others (while never being fully functional) is because of me. The drivers are literally perfect, and have been for years.

Lol. Delusion is just not a river in egypt. Keep fanboying, gonna block you now.

Nah. Nothing weird or wrong about my setup.

Everything worked fine with my Nvidia 660ti. When I switched to an RX 580, I had issues with refresh rates and Freesync (that I can remember, it’s been awhile and I don’t care to keep all this recorded.) Some versions of drivers would fix issues but cause others. Some versions required certain configurations to fix issues but cause others. It was a mess.

Switched back to the 660ti, no issues. Bought a used 1070, no issues.

Haven’t gone back to AMD since that horrendous experience, but maybe they’ve improved.

I think it’s sad how few people here are willing to acknowledge that AMD’s drivers may not have been adequate for most users even if they worked for them. I bought AMD listening to ya’ll, and was horribly disappointed.

I guess that’s part of why theory is no substitute for experience.

Nah. It was an RX 580.

I think instead of damage control for AMD, you could try to open your mind to the possibility that their drives may not be so superior that they work for everyone just because they work for you.

It’s at least possible, right?

That’s nice. It’s interesting how many people say one works better than the other based on their own experience.

I think it’s a testament to why people should go with what works best for them, and not just what people on the internet say works best.

Nah. It’s my experience with both Linux and Windows.

Both. The experience was horrible on both.

I bought an AMD GPU before and the experience was so horrible that it’s deterred me from ever buying one again.

I never knew how good I had it with Nvidia until I tried AMD. The main issue? Drivers. AMDs drivers were abysmally shit. I never had to ‘choose’ specific versions of Nvidia drivers to get them to work. I did with AMD, and some features would work while others would break depending on the version.

Ended up returning it because it was that bad.

To be fair, $65/month for gigabit fiber is pretty standard.

It’s what we got here in Southern Illinois, although I don’t use it.

Gonna block you too.

Okay. You seem like the kind of guy who would prefer to use the CLI, lol.

Calm down. Sorry I don’t care about the thing you made, but that’s no reason to throw a tantrum.

That’s fine. Not everything is for you.

Maybe it’s just me, but I think we don’t need more command line functionality.

I just switched between the light and dark themes and the problem still persists.

Nah, I’ve seen the hate-boner for Manjaro before and like clockwork, people like you feel justified in telling others what’s important to them.

Pragmatism > all else. At this point, the Manjaro hate is just a meme perpetuated by losers and those who can’t think for themselves.

Do you also tell people not to install Mint because they got hacked and hosted an .iso with malware? Probably not, because you don’t see others doing it and it doesn’t make you feel like you fit in.

Fedora or Ubuntu

Completely different ecosystems, not replacements for Manjaro.

If they want something rolling, Arch

Yeah, no. Anyone with a brain and some experience this point realizes that people who recommend Arch as a replacement for Manjaro should not be taken seriously.

Goodbye man. Gonna block you now.

I just recommend Manjaro KDE.

It’s very simple and easy to use. It seems likes it’s designed to make transitioning from Windows as easy as possible.

I think when you need it, you can download it.

I thought fonts always looked better on QT DEs.

Where do their profits come from?

The rubes who don’t use adblockers and those who subscribe.

The point is that YouTube was profitable before implementing these anti-adblocking measures.

Nothing I said is defending this move towards aggressively combating ad locking.

You don’t like the fact that they make money by showing you ads? Take your business somewhere else.

Anyways man, have a good day. Gonna block you now.

YouTube has been profitable for years before they implemented these anti-adblock measures.
