Lol blame linux mint, or is it imgur?

TBH I'm just following https://distrochooser.de/ #1 recommendation, I want something that works best for me, not willing to spend any more time in testing new things that might be good, if it is good then I will let the community try them 1st, I will be the last to jump in

Thanks for the valuable information! I'm still not sure if I'm gonna get a laptop or build a desktop as an upgrade for the future but one thing is sure is that 1440p is the absolute minimum for me, no way in hell I'm getting anything lower than that

I don't really know what you mean by not copy-pasting links but you don't gotta do that.

Here is what I mean, in testing JDownloader and other download managers I did a simple test, I open a website like let's say https://www.freedownloadmanager.org/download-fdm-for-linux.htm and I left click on the download button if the download manager auto captures the download request and start downloading the file or prompt me to authorize the download then the download manager passes the test but if the browser built in download manager starts downloading instead then it is an instant failure; I put this extension to the test and unfortunately it failed.

wine probably is your best bet if you just want IDM in Linux form.

It installed successfully but unfortunately it seems that it won't work with the linux version of Firefox so I uninstalled.

Hmm I don't recall using it ever before but I will give it a shot if things don't go well with FDM

Lol, I actually know about JDownloader2 but never used it but well I'm downloading it right now so let's see

Update: close but not enough, FDM is the winner for me

I have always wanted to try opensuse so we will see

I tried to upload a screenshot when creating this post, but it seems there is an issue with the instance I'm on, so I just tried uploading it to Imgur instead so here you go, and oh scaling is set to 1x (there is only 1x which is the default and 2x which I tried today, but it made all the UI elements and text too big and yep I'm not using the same fonts for comparison and I don't think it is as simple to install and use the font used by win 10 and/or 11, and honestly I do not know if using Microsoft font going to fix this issue or not

screenshot these all are the default settings except maybe for Hinting

here you go on pastebin.com

I just tried a live Lubunto install, and it too looks blurry running the OS GPU drivers

Maybe because of the old Nvidia gpu, hmm will try the OS drivers hope it helps,

Update: didn't help but it did fix an issue with the flatpak version of telegram (openGL) and wine is no longer complaining about something that's broken with the proprietary driver + the boot and shutdown animation now actually runs (which is Linux mint logo)

Very old Toshiba laptop with a very old Nvidia gpu GT 525M running proprietary drivers connected to a 1080p monitor and yes it is running at 1080p

👀

Tried it a month or so ago but unfortunately had very high latency due to my geographical location

Lol ok yeah this makes sense now

From what I gathered so far Control D paid plans seem to offer a similar level of customizability but its free offering falls short of NextDNS's free plan, this should be a contributing factor too.

Lol

This is fucking awesome, I'm so excited🔥🤩

Word and Excel, tried LibreOffice it lags and has some weird graphical glitches and OnlyOffice has bad Arabic support
