it’s a cheap one, LG 29WL500
it has HDR, but it’s better to turn it off :sweat_smile:

for the rest no real complaints… at least not for the low price these are being sold at

Looking at the Github page, seems that there’s a regression with 40 + wayland; if you’re using that try X.

oh right, didn’t even think of that!

thanks for the tip! Will edit my post here if it worked

edit: yeah, wayland was the culprit. Thank you for pointing this out!

Thanks for this! I’ll give it a try, AFTER I get a VM working right! Trying to cherry-pick the Arckwiki on QEMU/KVM is a whiole other task…

Or maybe I’ll bare metal it (as usual) - it often seems simpler, and heaven knows I have enough slots for it! For instance - Rolling Rhino (rolling distro of Xubuntu in my case) has proven what it is, and sees no use now… hmmm…

Jawoll ! :beers:

Reactionary theme got updated. Panel/taskbar looks proper now.

My main machine is back to Breeze-Dark with my tweaks, since at home and in the evenings, I need the darkness, but my laptop is always used at work in bright rooms, so the good old Windows Classic theme is just perfect there.

Virt-Manager is a nice frontend for Qemu. Or Gnome Boxes (which is independent of Gnome, despite the name), which doesn’t require any setup, just pacman -S gnome-boxes. I usually use Boxes if I just want to get a VM running, virt-manager if I want to fine tune the options.

Of course real hardware always works, the reason I suggested using a VM is simply because I kind of recalled some of that from memory (after having done it two times on bare metal successfully), so there might be all sorts of typos. But hey, the worst that can happen is XFCE doesn’t work so you use some other desktop for the time being :wink:

Rolling Rhino is something I really should look into! But it seems quite useless, if I’m to be honest…
