As soon as one of these Obsidian alternatives has real-time collaboration and a mobile interface, I'm ready to switch.

To be pedantic (but I think it matters): it's the software companies that don't support Linux, not the other way around.

I think about this a lot, and my take is that Linux is waaayyy better if you have perfect or close-to-perfect knowledge of how the operating system works and what software is available. Similarly, I think an argument can be made for Linux being better if all you need is a web browser and you're not using really unusual hardware.

Where things fall apart is for people who have very specific needs that are complex, even if they only need it 1% of the time, and they don't have the technical knowledge to solve it with the power-user tools available. Microsoft has spent decades paying developers to handle these edge cases and ensuring GUI settings discoverability.

At the same time, schools and workplaces have taught people the design language of Windows, and the network effect of having so much of the world's end-user PCs running on Windows means that there are vast resources available targeted at people without technical knowledge. At this point, for better or worse, Microsoft's design language is the global default for non-technical people.

If a person never has to touch a setting because all they need is a browser, they don't hit any friction and they are happy. If they need to do even one thing that requires them to dig into settings or touch the terminal, the difference from Microsoft's design language is enough for that one frustrating experience to give them a bad taste in their mouth about Linux as a whole.

Came here to say this. Red light + directional lighting basically solves the problem.

They sued one specific switch emulator.

Pretend there is a comma and maybe an exclamation point like this:

I got the Cable Matters 8K model 102101

I have a 7900XTX and I use a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter to get HDMI 2.1. I can use 4K@120Hz and HDR on my LG OLED TV just fine with that setup. The only real limitation is 3 display outputs vs 4 if I could use the HDMI out for what it is meant for.

You have to decide what is more important to you: Linux compatibility or ray tracing and CUDA? There are other differences, but those are the big ones.

I did use the 20L. I have a similar issue with the 5L cross-body bag. I dunno, maybe it's not just my height, but my shoulders, arms, and chest. It's not a problem I have with the other backpacks I use from Timbuk2, Osprey, or Arc'teryx.

I like the idea of insert + backpack. For me, I don't want to compromise on the backpack comfort and usability, so I use an Osprey Radial backpack and I plan to use a Boundary MK-1 camera cube with it, but I have yet to purchase it.
