i'm not anti Linux. i love Linux. even some of my servers are Linux

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

it's funny to watch linux struggle in 2025 with issues windows solved in 95

@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.
