Instructions unclear. I'm running Gnome on Mint.

Patrick Willems said something about it that made it all make sense. Then I forgot what he said, just like I did the movie.

cost of fuel, insurance and car maintenance have increased

As someone who drives for one of these companies, cost of fuel is only really an issue sometimes. When it gets closer to $4 a gallon, it stops being worth it. I do my own car maintenance so this really isn't too much of an issue either. Car insurance though? You bet those fuckers have made plays to try and jack driver's prices up. Some companies outright won't insure you if you're a driver without getting commercial insurance, which, from when I was shopping was over a grand a month in my state. (Mid-size sedan.)

Acer has had this policy for over 20 years. I bought a laptop long ago from a vendor that I had issues with and they refused to give me support because I was running Linux at the time. (I forget what distro. Probably either Mandrake or early Ubuntu.) That laptop went right back to the vendor.

Never bought anything from them since.

Does anyone know of a way to sync channel and have it auto-download to my server for watching how I want to?

I have a Corsair Nightsword.

There's an open source version of the software that, I don't think, is official but works well. It can rebind, set RGB, change DPI settings, and most if not everything the official software can.

Corsair mice aren't the best, and the problems seem to be certain versions of their mice. (M65 is garbage. I went through 6 of them in 6 months.) Nightsword has been great though. Scimitar is good as well, have one that's 6 years old now.

When I posted in this topic there were no other responses, so I gave you the answer. It's literally the only reason any one ever does this and it's done in movies to show the air moving if it directly affects the plot.

It's to show the movement of air.

Resolution yes, refresh rate, no.

Well, I got rid of KDE and I'm on Cinnamon right now, so where are these tearing issues? You think I would have noticed after over a year of use.

Why would I care what software KDE comes with? This is Linux. I can install whatever works best for me. Including the whole of KDE software suite if I so chose. You KDE fans are voracious.

better multi monitor support

I run a 3x1 setup and KDE didn't handle it any better than Cinnamon did.

Wayland support is coming to Mint. You can actually use it on 21.3 right now but it is unstable.

Rest of what you said is opinion.
