On my PC at home I'm running KDE Plasma on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with two monitors: 1440p 240 Hz, 4k 60 Hz. Both are connected via displayport to an RTX2080. It works perfectly fine for me.

A while back, I used Linux Mint on the same system and it was a headache, where it would sometimes boot to a blank screen and I would have to restart a random number of times before it would work. I never did figure out the underlying cause, it just went away when I changed distros for other reasons....

I also hate how every time I accidentally open Edge it shits a search bar onto my desktop

does it taste like raspberries, or does it taste like oh my god why can't I stop vomiting?

When does this take place? I just looked at my hosts file and the lines

::1 www.twitter.com

are still there??

I've had it since 2016, so it's close to 7 years now. I replaced the screen and battery on it, but it has been pretty solid. Actually, uptime is something that's an advantage for self-repairable stuff: when the screen needed to be replaced, it still worked enough to use, which I did until the replacement arrived. Takes a minute to swap the screen and then it's running again.

I'm based in Germany so I only used it in the US when traveling. Maybe the 5 will be the one where they decide to cover the US officially? It seems like there's more attention to repairability than there was 7 years ago...

I hope it comes out soon - I'm still using my Fairphone 2 but it's really time for it to retire

I wonder if on Lemmy, it's possible to just switch the up and down votes for a community?
