An unreasonable amount of my time today went on getting a monitor to display at the right resolution. [[xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed problems]].
On the plus side I ended up trying out [[MX Linux]] in the process, mainly as a cheap way to avoid Wayland, but it seems pretty nice. I like that it’s built on [[Debian]], but not too far removed from it, and is XFCE rather than Gnome.
@neil this is why I use windows as my UI layer heh
@neil I’m mainly using wayfire. it’s kind of sad seeing so many people go on the “avoid wayland at all cost trip”…
@lollonero Not avoiding at all costs, just it seemed to be mentioned as one of the possible causes for the problem, so I wanted to try something without it.
@neil actually, a wayland compositor should be able to handle that out of the gate. In contrast to X.I mean, it’s Linux, there is always multiple solutions but for newer solutions the „established guard“ might not know them.
