@IvanDSM and i know it has no effect because i have fed it a hand-crafted ICC file that should completely kill the red gamma to 0 and it did not do it. but it says it did it in the terminal
@IvanDSM i have that ICC file, but no amount of running different programs that purport to apply it seem to have any effect, because graphical displays under linux are a mess
@IvanDSM i have yet to figure out a way to apply a colour profile on my thinkpad at all in the first place. since it's a tablet one and i mainly use it for art i am really considering gritting my teeth and just giving a shot at windows 10 on it (the only reason i haven't yet is it's a 2008 centrino with 4gb RAM but since i only need a drawing program with wacom support and nothing else, tiny10 will probably run smooth enough)

@mavica_again Remember ho well PowerStrip worked to overclock your GPU and add custom resolutions/refresh rates? I still use it on my Windows 98 machine. Well, as it turns out, nowadays on Wayland to add custom resolutions/refresh rates you have to dump your monitor's EDID, modify it with some dude's tool, then add it as a firmware blob to be loaded by the kernel on boot. But you also have to be sure to include it in your initramfs so that it _can_ be loaded on boot. Kill me.
@IvanDSM that's what i'm talking about!!!
breaking kayfabe for a moment OSes are tools and you use what works for you
and Linux desktop environments never worked for anybody lol
this is how linux people talk about windows btw
it's funny to watch linux struggle in 2025 with issues windows solved in 95
i just think the same people with a lust for the command line and a disdain for the newfangled mouse and graphics adapter should not be allowed to push their half-baked desktop environments upon others
i'm not anti Linux. i love Linux. even some of my servers are Linux
i'm convinced people who don't have daily issues caused by using Linux are only ever using the web browser and nothing else
the main two problems in computing are off by one errors and dns. unless you use linux in which case you get a third problem no other operating system has invented yet which is denying you file permissions even if all chown and chmods are perfectly correct just to piss you off
steve jobs' open letter on flash is to computers what "reagan elected president" is as a temporal data point in socioeconomical graphs
sometime after steve jobs killed flash computing as a whole lost all its whimsy
when is the last time you've seen a funny screensaver
ludonarrative pissonance or whatever
it's a little funny to me how certain people will with the same breath demonize windows because "the NT kernel is evil" and also say that ARM and RISC-V will never be serious competitors to x86
