        tbf LG monitors are quite good hardware, but I’ve been buying Dell the last 10 years and never had issues.

      Funny that before I switched to linux I would see comments like this and would go “mehh” and now that I’m on Linux for just 3 days I already see that people who are in windowslop are like the people connected to the machines in the matrix. They need their fake steaks while they’re being used to the benefit of others.

      After configuring it to your liking it’s so fucking good it’s addicting.
