I only have a few privacy-focused friends on Signal and Matrix and I talk to them that way. I have a few friends who use my personal Nextcloud and just use Nextcloud Talk to chat with me. For all others, I still use the mainstream platforms and just take care to not post any info that I don’t want public and I make sure the apps have limited info and app permissions.

I think it is tough to convince others to switch until they themselves see the need, at which point they’ll start asking you for advice on what to do.

With new contacts, I’ll usually ask if they have Signal first and if they don’t then I don’t really push it. I think just getting the name out there every once in a while is the most you can do.

Fuck those guys. I really wish LG would support DP a bit more in their products.

Nope, you’re running into the dreaded AMD HDMI 2.1 limitation. The situation just sucks.

VR is one the aspects of Linux gaming that is still weak unfortunately. The Quest line of headsets for example just don’t work. On Quest 2 and Quest 3 you may have some success using ALVR, which is a remote streaming solution over wifi.

You’re probably running in non-RGB 4:4:4. Quick test is to have some red console text against a gray background and if the text is fuzzy with compression artifacts at the edges, then it is not 4:4:4. You can check what mode your TV is in by clicking the green button with the two dots seven times.
