If linux is so good, how come it doesn't just work?

keep normies out

>>106754292
it literally does work, that's what he's saying in the image. He's saying normies are just retarded and don't want to read.
And honestly, fuck them. They deserve windows with ads on their taskbar, they all got us in this mess.

On linux there is lxrandr that provides a simple gui so you don't have to remember the command switches for xrandr.

However it is annoying still as it doesn't just work. You have to either remember the correct resolution or try several different resolutions to get it right when you connect it to say your television. With modern Windows, it simply automatically switches to a correct resolution to mirror your laptop. With linux it is a struggle session. Stuff like that sucks under linux.

Windows user here, windows just works. I tried using mac once and couldn't figure it out. Macs need a manual to use. Windows just wekrs. Sorry not sorry.
>>
Arch Linux user here, arch just works. I tried using windows once and couldn't figure it out. Windows need a manual to use. Arch just wekrs. Sorry not sorry.

Write a script you dumb tranny. Imagine being given all the tools you need and still failing. Git back to winjeet or IToddler trash

But if I write down what resolution works on my home tv and laptop for hdmi screen via a script, will it be specific the resolution of that tv? But then screw up when I travel and try to hook up to a hotel's tv or a friends tv?

linux is best for industry uses. Is it possible to use for desktop? Do I use it for desktop? Of course. But I find that it works best as a server environment. Hell half the service my linux server provides work better on windows.
>>
>>106754292
>have to parse an xrandr command to startup to make their secondary monitor work
I never did that and I have two monitors with different resolutions and different refresh rates. They just work out of the box. If you fell for the Arch meme it's your own fault, it doesn't mean that Linux isn't capable of doing things for you.
>>
>>106754292
Your premise is wrong from the start. Give a Mac laptop to a older person and see them struggle.

Most stuff works through the GUI for a normal user nowadays. If something doesn't work you can always troubleshoot and fix it with the terminal.

If something doesn't work or you want to do something differently on your apple device, you're shit out of luck. No fallback, no alternative, no nothing. It just works, until it doesn't.
