That is huge. The power management changes and being able to set brightness per monitor are pretty nice too.

This isn’t limited to the Reddit app. You can see it on the desktop and mobile website too.

Let’s not forget an important distinction here. This man is not making any of these things, and he isn’t capable of making them. But, he is capable of directly and indirectly impacting the people who are capable of making them negatively enough that we get utter failures like the cybertruck.

Don’t give him more credit than he deserves.

Makes sense. Well, best of luck with it. That’s super annoying, sorry I couldn’t help. If you do figure it out and remember this, I would love to know what the answer was!

Did some looking around and what I found is it could be a sign that the cable is starting to fail:

Do you have another cable you could try?

It could also be a bug in Gnome, since you said it only happens after something like a kernel update. I wonder if it would happen if you used a live usb of gnome, and if so, would it happen if you used a live usb of KDE or some other desktop manager.

Any system logs that might be related to the display not being detected properly?

Since you’re using AMD graphics, you’re using the open source drivers right? The proprietary AMD drivers are not good.

Well, issues 1-3 could all easily be GPU driver related. Which GPU are you using, and what drivers?

The Steam UI thing sounds like an issue like maybe hardware acceleration being disabled?

Then you wouldn’t notice all the fun and exciting recommendations they have for you! /s

Wow. Linux performance is better in Cyberpunk, even though it is running via proton. How does the article not mention that…?

They generally have really great linux support for all of their hardware (touchpads, fingerprint readers, etc.), and provide bios updates via fwdup. They are also just nice laptops.

It does support bios updates. That’s how I do mine on my laptop (a Lenovo).

Hmm I haven’t tried this. Thanks for the suggestion.

So, a dark pattern is a design that tries to trick the user into something. But what is the word for “knowing what the user wants, blatantly ignoring it and imposing the companies will anyway”?

Example: I think YouTube shorts are a terrible format, and I find them generally irritating. So I click the X on the element in YouTube that has a bunch of side scrolling cards, where each card is one of these shorts. YouTube informs me it will hide them for 30 days and then they’ll be back.

Another example, Windows Update. I’ve set all the group policy settings so it should never restart and update without me triggering it. But, if I allow it to download the update, then damn my group policy settings, it is going to apply that update and restart whenever it wants.

This is making me realize that I have never encountered this equivalent of a blue screen of death on Linux.

And if you’re wrong, the other shoe just probably hasn’t dropped yet.

Ubuntu/Canonical is the Microsoft of Linux distros. It’s no surprise they were the choice for WSL.

Ubuntu has been forcing decisions on users and embedding advertisements for a long time.

Examples that immediately come to mind…

• When that Amazon search was embedded into the app launcher search.
• These sorts of self promotions.
• Quietly installing snaps instead of debs when using apt install

Losing the Internet Archive would be a huge loss. Unfortunately, greedy companies don’t want us to have nice things.

That’s awesome. Thanks for updating. Looking forward to this hitting stable!
