Show me a screenshot of what your display settings look like please.

I couldn’t even find a place to do it. Only config for display scaling applied or to all monitors. And it requires a restart of kde every time. So either large external screen became unusable or the small laptop screen.

I haven’t used Xorg in years. All my problems are in Wayland.

Great, now please fix per monitor scaling. 4k laptops are unusable when connected to large 4k screens. I need no scaling on large external screen and about 175% on laptop’s 16".

I think just distance

Have you tried glances?

It did not. I think you and OP are feeling this based on anecdotal/singular experience. I can get any old movie I want and am able to download all the latest stuff very quickly using two private trackers. Been on one of them for over a decade and the other one is TL and I hardly ever use TL. 90/10 ratio.

I used to work in the same industry. We transferred several PBs from West US to Australia using Aspera via thick AWS pipes. Awesome software.

Pipewire works well enough for sharing screen even though it isn’t well supported by shit software like Slack. Would this replace it?

I was lucky enough to get a free m1. That thing uses 10w or so when you remove the stupidity and install Linux on it. But even if you have to buy a Pi - it’ll pay for itself in a few months of not paying for streaming service.

Let’s go crazy and say $. 20/kWh. 10÷1000×8760×.2=$17.5/year. Not free, but pretty damn close.

Take care of your health in general, but take extra special care of your core. Your back will thank you in 20 years.

What if selection is truly random?

I don’t know where you live, but in hcol areas mechanics won’t even pick up the phone for that much. So you have to get dealer/private seller to agree to take the car to that mechanic for inspection.

In a hot market if the car is priced reasonably there’s 5 other people in line to get it without inspection.

And then even if you can get the car inspected, mechanic offers you no guarantees. What do you think will happen if your engine explodes a week after you buy that car? You think that mechanic will replace it for free because he missed a big issue?

Your suggestion is awesome if you have a mechanic in the family or as a close friend you can trust. Otherwise just money down the drain really.

Those are very basic mice that will have no issues in Linux if you don’t care about their software.

At least Marques if we have to select from that pool.

Right. Unless you live in US and have relatives you regularly visit in a different city in the same state only 400km away.

I mean I still don’t care about solar panels on my roof and I’m much happier with a moon roof on my PHEV. Nearly 80km of electric range means I’m driving an electric car 99% of the time and have convenience of 5 minute fill ups when I go further.

I am surprised there isn’t an automatic mechanism to handle this especially if it is such a frequent issue.

btrfs dynamically allocates inodes.

Are you sure that’s the case with btrfs? I know ext has that feature. My understanding is btrfs just has a global reserve that can be used for any data in an low space situation.
