Literally yes. And you don’t even need to know the exact pixel resolution of the TV.
Edit: Here are the problems with you “Wayland isn’t good enough” people.
First, you don’t use Wayland, so you don’t even know if it’s fixed whatever weird issue you encountered with it before or if it supports a niche use case, for example.
Second, Wayland won’t get good enough for you until you start using it and reporting bugs. You think X11 was a bed of roses when it first started? Or do you think they bumped the version number 11 times for fun?
Not sure if you’re a troll, but if you’re serious, nothing I say is going to change your mind, so I won’t bother.
If you’re using Wayland, you can go to Settings -> Colors & Themes -> Login Screen (SDDM) and click “Apply Plasma Settings…”
If you’re using X11, it looks like you’ll have to resort to hacky scripts, unfortunately.

Fun fact, Caesar salad is named after the guy who invented it, an Italian living in Mexico at the time.
Interesting, I never considered that having a specific cognitive disorder would mean your brain compensates in other ways, but it makes sense. I have both dyscalculia (which is specifically only number reversal) and dysgraphia, and my reading (words, not numbers), writing (when typing), and verbal skills are definitely above average.
I’m out of the loop on DDG, what did they do?
Just because you’ve never used “iced” doesn’t make it uncommon. “Iced tea” is very popular beverage in the American south, for instance.
It’s not that they didn’t know Starbucks secret code (“iced” is a common term to use for putting ice in any drink). It’s that they used alcohol code instead (“on the rocks” is a common term to use for putting ice in alcohol).
I started my homelab with a small form factor PC (not a NUC specifically, but similar). They can be very capable servers, depending on specs and your needs.
As for towers, you can do standard consumer workstations, too. I game on PC, so when I build a new rig every 3 or 4 years, my old one goes in the closet. Sometimes I just add it and have another server, sometimes I donate the current server to a friend or school. Point being, you don’t have to have a Threadripper CPU and ECC RAM to run a server.
That being said, if you plan on hosting critical services or non-critical-but-public services that you want to have high availability and stability, it might be a good idea to upgrade to enterprise hardware eventually. But definitely not needed if you’re just starting out or running personal, non-critical stuff.
Namecheap. But it might also have to do with my domain not being very popular. Not sure.
I went with .io specifically for this. It doesn’t look special or anything, it’s just cheaper than .org and accepted anywhere I’ve tried, so far.
They probably should’ve disclosed that beforehand, or as part of the video, but anyone with any experience with AI (ChatGPT, Midjourney, etc) knew the voice was staged to make for a better presentation.
Skimping on cost is how disasters happen. Ask Richard Hammond. “Spared no expense” my ass, hire more than 2 programmers, you cheap fuck.
Edit: This was supposed to be a Jurassic Park reference, but my dumb ass mixed up John Hammond and Richard Hammond. That’s what I get for watching Top Gear and reading at the same time.
The point I’m making is that you don’t have to read 50+ guides anymore. Install a distro with a good gaming track record (Nobara, Garuda, Pop_OS, Bazzite) and play games. Linux gaming has come a long way.
That said, I understand where you’re coming from. I’m just trying to say it’s easier now than it’s ever been before.
The difference between paranoia and fear is the difference between not wanting to buy a Google Home because it listens to you and not wanting to buy a Google Home because you’re afraid you’ll break it.
Only if you play CoD, Fortnite, or Destiny 2. If you’re technically inclined and don’t mind working around some issues, gaming on Linux has come a long way and can be used for pretty much anything else. I used to dual-boot Windows for games, then I went to booting Windows in a VM and gaming with a spare, passed-through GPU. But I haven’t booted my VM in months, and I play lots of games.
I mean, I have a ton of media that Plex recognizes automatically and Jellyfin doesn’t, so… Agree to disagree, I guess. I’m not trying to defend Plex’s recent enshittification, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s generally a better experience than Jellyfin right now.
Correct. Unfortunately, it’s something that each desktop environment or window manager has to implement themselves. But all the button is doing is moving some config files around, so you can probably do some digging to figure out what it’s copying to where.
