  • besides the head socket; this was me in 2005 as a lowly IT analyst with an entire laboratory’s worth of screens displaying glxgears 6 days per week making sure all of the workstations’ display drivers were working correctly before deploying them to the engineers. that 6th day was me coming in on a saturday or sunday to take advantage of the REALLY nice and expensive hardware to try out the few games that worked on linux at the time. lol

    beverly hills is like mexico city: they’ve both got a lot of americans in them right now thanks to money, but that will change with time when their original inhabitants re-surge and reclaim both places for themselves again. lol


  • i feel that x11 support is still better than wayland’s at this stage and if you’re specifically wondering about plasma, it only just recently starting officially working with wayland in its most recent release so you’re probably not yet left behind.

    i started purchased linux laptops & workstations from a linux company a few years ago and that ensured that i don’t have problems like the one you’re experiencing and lemmy has taught me that all the smooth sailing w those linux rigs have given me, has made me fall behind; so i’m buying the cheapest and most proprietary windows laptop i can find and installing linux on it to use as my daily driver to sit next to my work laptop.

    is support a factor in your decision? if so i would go with opensuse since it has options to let get enterprise support should you end up needing it. (anecdotally: redhat & canonical’s support are better; ESPECIALLY landscape since you mentioned nvidia & proprietary codecs, but it is very pricey)
