Try these settings on Firefox in about:config

gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.enhanced_contrast = 100
gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.pixel_structure = 5
gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.rendering_mode = 5
gfx.font_rendering.fallback.always_use_cmaps = true

I cannot use Firefox without them. They adjust the text rendering to be more... normal, I don't understand why they aren't default, but maybe things change at higher resolutions (but I don't own a 2160p monitor to test).

Even with matched refresh rates, the issues persisted.

You cannot say that definitely. There's every chance my problems are fixed, the more people who adopt linux the more similar problems people will have.

I agree that Linux desktop will probably never take off due to the nature of its development, but we dont know that for sure. If companies like Valve want to keep investing into it, there's always a chance.

Not saying they will be on sale as they are still very new, but the Steam spring sale is in 4 days, so there is a chance they might be discounted a little. I would recommend buying from Valve, they have very good support.

I'd go for the 512GB OLED, but if screen and battery life isn't a problem for you then the LCD version is still perfectly fine. If you plan on using it a lot though, treat yourself to that OLED ;D

You can put a micro SD card in, a good A2 V30 card will be absolutely fine for it, I have a SanDisk Extreme PRO (~$60 for 512GB) myself in mine, though I don't play heavy games on it. You can also replace the M.2 SSD in the Steam Deck itself if you fancied.

It's great for electronics, but be careful with the bits on non-electronic stuff, they are quite soft and wear easily against stronger screws.

Yup, I don't understand the need for lossless, but I guess it's just a fun hobby thing.

320kbps mp3 sounds pretty much exactly the same as lossless anyway.

I agree, take the mp3s and Bluetooth over wired!

Youve lost me, why would the TV manufacturers who get royalties from licensing HDMI want to offer a free alternative?

[–] warm@kbin.earth 14 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (5 children)

Who do you think setup and owns the HDMI foundation?

Sony, Panasonic, Toshiba, Philips etc...
