soemtimes its funny when a modern indie shmup expects a monitor that isnt a square and has to scronch. some handle this gracefully

and then some do what Dead In Vitro does

@theking thank you for your help though, ill keep that in mind if I ever attempt to solve it again

@theking im sorry but im generally unwilling to pursue this any further at the moment, it just ends up frustrating me in the end and I try to avoid spending entire days on stuff like this

@theking I have my own gripes with how Gnome does some things but it does do some things well as an environment. just not the type of environment i enjoy using

and im afraid to ask because I feel like ill get bonked for "not googling" or "not knowing this obvious solution"

i can talk about how I've wasted almost an entire 24-48 hours combined of my life maybe more trying to get the fucking resistive touchscreen calibrated correctly on my toughbook, only to have basically no gestures and barebones mouse click actions with it

and its still not calibrated correctly and I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY

Show thread

like I have half formed thoughts on Wayland and X11 and some thoughts on just the general experience of trying to use wine and proton on older hardware, to the complete disaster that is touchscreen support, etc.
