Maybe you should stop being an ass and consider that when the product/brand has worked for MANY people, maybe the issue is you

Hmm. You’re right. It’s me with my exotic hardware and configurations, not the drivers that many other people outside of /r/linux routinely complain about. My bad. Different AMD drivers breaking some things and fixing others (while never being fully functional) is because of me. The drivers are literally perfect, and have been for years.

Lol. Delusion is just not a river in egypt. Keep fanboying, gonna block you now.

Nah. Nothing weird or wrong about my setup.

Everything worked fine with my Nvidia 660ti. When I switched to an RX 580, I had issues with refresh rates and Freesync (that I can remember, it’s been awhile and I don’t care to keep all this recorded.) Some versions of drivers would fix issues but cause others. Some versions required certain configurations to fix issues but cause others. It was a mess.

Switched back to the 660ti, no issues. Bought a used 1070, no issues.

Haven’t gone back to AMD since that horrendous experience, but maybe they’ve improved.

I think it’s sad how few people here are willing to acknowledge that AMD’s drivers may not have been adequate for most users even if they worked for them. I bought AMD listening to ya’ll, and was horribly disappointed.

I guess that’s part of why theory is no substitute for experience.

Nah. It was an RX 580.

I think instead of damage control for AMD, you could try to open your mind to the possibility that their drives may not be so superior that they work for everyone just because they work for you.

It’s at least possible, right?

That’s nice. It’s interesting how many people say one works better than the other based on their own experience.

I think it’s a testament to why people should go with what works best for them, and not just what people on the internet say works best.

Nah. It’s my experience with both Linux and Windows.

Both. The experience was horrible on both.

I bought an AMD GPU before and the experience was so horrible that it’s deterred me from ever buying one again.

I never knew how good I had it with Nvidia until I tried AMD. The main issue? Drivers. AMDs drivers were abysmally shit. I never had to ‘choose’ specific versions of Nvidia drivers to get them to work. I did with AMD, and some features would work while others would break depending on the version.

Ended up returning it because it was that bad.

Gonna block you too.

I just switched between the light and dark themes and the problem still persists.

Nah, I’ve seen the hate-boner for Manjaro before and like clockwork, people like you feel justified in telling others what’s important to them.

Pragmatism > all else. At this point, the Manjaro hate is just a meme perpetuated by losers and those who can’t think for themselves.

Do you also tell people not to install Mint because they got hacked and hosted an .iso with malware? Probably not, because you don’t see others doing it and it doesn’t make you feel like you fit in.

Fedora or Ubuntu

Completely different ecosystems, not replacements for Manjaro.

If they want something rolling, Arch

Yeah, no. Anyone with a brain and some experience this point realizes that people who recommend Arch as a replacement for Manjaro should not be taken seriously.

Goodbye man. Gonna block you now.

I just recommend Manjaro KDE.

It’s very simple and easy to use. It seems likes it’s designed to make transitioning from Windows as easy as possible.

I think when you need it, you can download it.

I thought fonts always looked better on QT DEs.

Whichever one works best for you.

Now that’s an experienced user.

Yeah, it’s a big reason why I’m never in a hurry to adopt ‘the next big thing’ until it’s proven to be the next big thing or I have an immediate use for it.

No point in bogging myself down in theory when practicality works just fine.

Immutability has always struck me as a fad.

Aside from declaring variables as FINAL or whatever because I know they won’t be changed, the mere idea of using it as a default just seems unnecessarily restrictive to me.

It feels like people who bog themselves down in theory to solve their problems instead of practicality think immutability is a godsend.

For everyone else, it doesn’t really matter at best or is an inconvenience at worst.
