Did a bunch of computers over the last year. Kids computers, personal, mini PCs, 2 HTPCs. Only real issue I’ve had was I had to switch to a DP to HDMI from a HDMI cable because one of the HTPCs wouldn’t do resolution or refresh rate higher than a 3rd grader’s chromebook. Once I swapped the cable it was fine. Most are Mint, 1 CachyOS, one Bazzite.

Projectors have the exact same problems. Their OSs are awful with ads, too.
Replaced the last Windows computer in the house with CachyOS this morning. Fuck off Microsoft.
did I just get psyllium husk pilled
