@biggutguil75 the loud minority clamoring that you HAVE to use linux and you are a buffoon if you don't is just extremely grating and i wanted to push back on that with equally inflammatory posts

@biggutguil75 vent post about how i have not had a good time using a linux desktop in over a decade because something is always broken, impossible, not implemented, or difficult for anyone with less than a passing understanding of the linux kernel

i have used windows since 3.1 without major gripes and currently daily 10 ltsc

linux is fine on a server where you don't have to worry about using a desktop or using it daily (but i still get stressed about idiosyncracies sometimes)

@IvanDSM the ICC really does not matter when i can run the same utilities with a manual setting for individual gamma values for R G and B and not get any output

i care less about having an ICC profile and more about being able to calibrate the gamma myself, if the gamma changing does not affect the screen because the software is unable to, the profile does not matter

@IvanDSM i have never had a problem issuing gamma correction in any version of windows that supported it, so.

@IvanDSM it was years ago and honestly i don't care enough to waste more time with linux

@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)

@IvanDSM that's what i'm talking about!!!
