The entire experience was alright, though a bit underwhelming. The strength in the displays was their US Civil War content, which was understandably focused on highlighting Pennsylvania’s contributions.
After the Civil War, everything between then and modern conflicts all had much more compact displays comparatively. I’m currently sorting through photos. The lighting in the museum created a lot of reflections that made taking good photos a challenge.
I tried to go to the Andy Warhol museum as well todau, but there was some sort of sportball event happening which just devastated the parking situation.
If youtube wants me to pay for their service, they can offer a service worth paying for instead of purposefully degrading their free service into an unusable mess in an attempt to force my hand.
Preach. 1080p looks like dogsh*t now and they’ve been rolling out a premium only enhanced bitrate option. Yet another case of ruin what’s good to sell what everyone already had.
I tried arch once. Eventually, my computer just showed a black screen on booting. I managed to fix it by resetting my bios. That was the end of that attempt at using arch. Still want to try again, though.
I had this happen once or twice, caused by bad Nvidia drivers with Wayland.
I use AMD now for my day job, haven’t had a single issue in over two years. That’s not to say you should use it - it’s still a rolling release distro and will always have a potential to break over most other distros.
I’m new to Linux and use Endeavor OS. Its Arch BTW so everything I do I just look up the Arch Wiki.
Endeavour comes with KDEPlasma, or you can pick others. It also has basic applications like Firefox and media players. But nothing in the way of office etc.
I think Manjaro is similar but deviates from arch a bit.
I’ve been using Mint for a year or two now, but if/when I “upgrade” so to speak to something with more control, I plan to get EOS. Arch is a bit much for me right now and openSUSE and Manjaro borked right away when I tried them (though to be fair, so did Mint-my hardware was too snazzy and I needed to update to the latest kernel to get everything working). But the control Arch offers is tempting, and EOS with KDE would suit me nicely. The best thing about Linux IMO is that you have choices about what you run; you don’t have to use any one distro, because no one can really force you to.
My limited knowledge and time force me to certain distros. Some of my stuff only works on EOS, others only on Mint.
It’s easier to install another distro than spend another hour troubleshooting. I know “just read the wiki” but sometimes we don’t have the skills, imagine a neckbeard trying to “just have a shower, and get out the basement”.
It makes it even more tempting to move back to Windows where I can just plug and play. But I’m forcing myself not to. … Well that and Win11 isn’t supported.
And re things not working. I’ll not even a gamer with special hardware. Just use it for web browsing and citrix for WFH.
