Greg Kroah-Hartman is one of the most influential Linux kernel maintainers, responsible for subsystems like USB, TTY, and the stable branch. We talk about ho...
Documentation is incorrect as well. Xrandr doesn’t even return full device names. You need to know to append the Linux HDMI naming convention. You also need to fuck with pulse wire on DE and gaming mode. I’ve run into similar issues in Debian including have to fuck with pulse wire for HDMI audio.
But I’m sure it’s just my distro. I bet mint will work flawlessly 🙄
what are the real barriers to entry? I doubt its finagling with the more than outdated X11 session manager when we have Wayland, every Distributor ships Wayland (exclusively).
Absolute mess. But not as bad a nix.
I promise you I’ve never had to run something like xdotool or xrander just to set up basic shit like mouse gestures or a default display like a tv.
Windows works a lot better out of the box with little to no input. It’ll just nag you about one drive the entire fucking time lol.
you don’t, why would you? use kde they have built in stuff for this… you said you use bazzite

the documentation doesn’t say to use xrandr to do that, it gives clear instructions you didn’t follow.
Sorry you’ve got me. I mixed up Gnome and the generic.
Dude I started using Linux at the time of CRTs and xorg.conf, I remember about xrandr, but it’s far away in the past.

No, it’s not. Similar issues a few years ago in Debian as well.
yes X11 is a mess, always has been.
I just don’t understand why we can’t be realistic about these real barriers to entry.
