aight let me tell you MY arch experience. itll be a long one.
i first installed arch with the install script and later manually, i ran this setup for quite some time, and as time goes, small erros cascade into bigger ones. it got to the point where i was reconfiguring system configs every week to fix something that broke from an update. the thing that ultimately caused the most trouble was converting my existing ext4 system to btrfs. this caused all sorts of issue primarily with gaming performance (i had to disable cpu boosting in order to not have constant lag spikes for example). this old system was a mess held together with duct tape and hope, it broke with EVERY update, and not at small scales. at some point i had to reinstall grub everytime i changed something in my boot order. Ultimately i decided 2 days ago it was time for a reinstall. i tried installing it normally, i followed the official install instructions and got greeted by a grub shell. i fucked something up during the install, so i decided fuck it, i will use archinstall script again. then it took me legit 6 hours to get my system running in a way i could use it, tgen the next day an additional 3 to get everything set up so i can game with proper OBS recording and all.
now i have a perfectly functioning Arch setup. and a lot more performance (even tho the setup should be the same, like i really dont know what was wrong with my old setup)
arch WILL be a hassle at some point. in turn you get bleeding edge packages, no bloat, complete customisation, a great learning opportunity, the AUR, and (if properly set up) great performance.
i like arch. i wouldnt use anything else.
if it happens over multiple operating systems, its either an insane coincidence or hardware issue. however, if you are lucky, the hardware that is broken is only the cable or only a specific port. i suggest trying different cable and port combos, on both GPU & motherboard and Screen (if your screen has multiple ports)
pretty sure rendering issues dont get caught in screenshots

thanks a lot. Findroid fixed not only the subtitle problem, but also sped up the loading of the content which for legal reasons is definitely not incriminating
