It's on BeeHaw from my perspective at least

It's not distributed by Microsoft either, it's distributed by Win.rar GmbH from their own website. The developers made it only for Windows, but that doesn't mean Microsoft played any part in it. Windows is the most widely used desktop OS, especially in business environments, and selling to businesses is where WinRAR makes their money.

Also, 7zip 4 lyfe

Wait, what? Microsoft didn't make WinRAR.

Why doesn't this already work the way I would expect? You can plug your smartphone into your PC and access its entire filesystem, and they're basically both computers. Why can't this work the same way between PCs? Or why can't I access my PC's files from my phone?

It sure looks sedated at least

Guantendomo, if you will

I switched to Cloudflare. Squarespace wasn't going to work for me.

I'm kicking myself for not getting a picture of it, but somewhere driving around town there's a GENTOO license plate with a Lexus plate frame around it.

Like this

...It's a Gentoo Lexus

I'm sure I'll return to Pop eventually, maybe on the next release, but right now I'm struggling to get everything I want out of it with my hardware.

The community manager got fired apparently

I just posted an update here if you want to take a look! Going to keep at it tomorrow and see what else I can try from all these comments too.

Thanks, I used this guide!

Popping in to give an update before calling it a night!

First of all, thank you for all the help! I've been reading through all the comments here and trying a few things out. The first thing I tried was switching the default desktop environment from the default Gnome to KDE. I much prefer KDE to Gnome since I have experience with it on the Steam Deck, so this is the solution that I had the most hope for. Sadly though, things are much worse in KDE. Unlike in Gnome, KDE has the terrible screen tearing that was mentioned in X11, but is still similarly unable to support running the monitors at different refresh rates. Since a lot of the comments here mentioned Wayland though, that was my real end goal in getting KDE installed. Unfortunately, witching over to KDE Wayland, things became significantly more unusable and it was about the same experience I had while trying to install Nobara. Both displays were totally unresponsive for seconds at a time and I was only able to interact with things during brief moments when they would stutter along instead. This was pretty painful to log back out of and was an overall mess like a couple of you had mentioned it might be.

I went back to Gnome after this. Since KDE didn't seem to be they way forward, I figured I might as well try enabling Wayland on PopOS's built in solution. Wayland support was hidden by default on NVIDIA as mentioned, but one quick config edit later and the option appeared. Things seem to be going much better now! I'm running Gnome Wayland right now and while things aren't flawless yet they're significantly better than before. Both monitors are working at their full refresh rates now without any screen tearing or flickering. As for gaming, so far I only have Helldivers 2 installed running through Proton, and performance is about 8% worse than in Windows on the same graphics settings while on the ship. I am also getting an odd visual bug where the in-game menu looks like it opens and closes very quickly every once in a while. It's not actually open or intractable though, it's more like the game randomly displays a single frame from when I did have the menu open to change the graphics settings. Tomorrow I'll try enabling Proton experimental and see if that fixes anything, and also try installing some more games.

I'll come back again to give an update on how things are going then! I'm still lacking HDR and there are other bugs that look like they need to be ironed out, but I'm much more optimistic about this than I was before. I think I'll keep dual-booting for now, at least while I'm still trying to get everything working properly, and hopefully that next version of PopOS brings HDR support. For now, it's at least nice to know that different monitor refresh rates are working.

Good to know, thanks!

Vanguard is always running? More reason for me to never go back to League I guess.

I'm curious, where are those shortcuts?

Must have installed the wrong Linux. I've heard from other comments around Lemmy that the best one is called Red Hannah Hat Montana Enterprise Linux or something like that 👍

Highly irradiated 🙏
