Everytime Microsoft blunders, which is a lot and it is reported, it never fails that there will be numerous individuals proclaiming their switch to Linux. But I always feel like a lot of it is just simply clout, a pat-on-the-back feeling for deciding against the masses kind of feel.

And it always makes me beg to really see how those kind of people fare if they actually did switch and use Linux on a daily basis.

I’ll take anyone seriously if they actually switch and sometimes actually talk to me about how their Linux experience is going. Because more times than not, I always assume it’s some dual-boot user who could sneak their way back to Windows time to time and barely use Linux.

And I’ll see the statistics of the OS marketshare budge…slightly, for Linux. I’m proud that Linux at all that it is gaining more usage than it has before than where it had been 15+ years ago and earlier.

    mind telling me what adapters you tried? I haven’t faced this problem myself since I’m 100% DP, but if it does come up I’d like to know what’s what

      It was one from cable matters, but i didn’t try it myself, just read all the experiences online. They already make it clear themselves on the product page that vrr doesn’t work, which is a dealbreaker for me personally. Some people claim they got everything working including vrr after flashing a custom firmware, but they still have to replug the cable everytime after they boot before it works, and even after the firmware flash it still doesn’t work for everyone. i think this is the cable. They link it at the top of the thread.
