Me after I spent a whole evening being unable to boot into grub after trying to get Wayland to work. Wayland will have to wait for a bit longer...

Yuppers. I need CUDA for my machine learning projects, both for hobby and professionally. I considered AMD and their alternative at the time, but it wasn't supported on their consumer cards back then, and I also didn't fully trust their commitment. It's getting better though, so hopefully AMD can convince me for my next GPU in a few years.

Could not be me. Not about the 🦊 part, but the failing to work part. The software fears me. The software knows it's a cog in a machine, one that's easily replacable. And I'm not one to get sentimental.

When I see these kind of posts I can't help but think that maybe they're being made by people who could be astroturfing for another company and it’s OS, in a negative way, to redirect the narrative.

i think it's a sort of meta ironic joke. The joke here is that it's not working, and they're trying to figure out why it's not working, because linux actually lets you do this to some significant capacity.

Yeah, no, not sure if I can agree with that interpretation. To me it seemed more like it was showing the frustration of the user trying to use Linux that doesn't work, and having to debug the problem, adding to the frustration.

If it was expressing what you're saying it was, then there would be one more final frame to the comic showing some kind of Linux 'hero' plot device solving the problem, or pointing out there really isn't a problem.

Me last night after extolling the virtues of the OS to my wife, trying to figure out why upping my refresh rate results in completely fucked text in Linux Mint

So far I've gathered that it's probably a similar issue to what half-rate shading does on the Steam Deck, but the fix or why it's even doing it in the first place currently eludes me

E: if anyone else has a similar issue and is on an nVidia card: try the most recent driver, not the recommended one. If that doesn't work, maybe the older one then? If still not god help you cuz the first idea worked for me
