"we have dual monitor at home"

3 years ago by wallmenis to c/memes

My little brother came up with this meme. A little outdated but it was a chance to show him how to make stuff like that!

Virtual desktops: KDE / Wikipedia / Gnome

TLDR: If you don't want your desktop to be a mess, you can spawn applications in different virtual desktops, and switch between them.

Windows has had them since 10 (and obviously far earlier via 3rd party).

Yes, 15 years after everyone else (hence 3rd party).

If Windows 10 had the feature since 2015 (first W10 release) that would be at least 3 years after Gnome; Earliest mention I can find and that's worst case scenario for Gnome.

As for KDE Plasma it had those since at least 4.2.0, Plasma 4.2.0 announcment that version was released in 2009.

I think they removed the native ones on 11. Correct me if I am wrong though...

Edit: I was wrong.

I'm not on 11 yet, but Google says it's still there by default.

I'm jealous 😭 that thing can actually play NES gun games, unlike modern LCDs

Why can't modern LCDs play NES gun games?

AFAIK, several milliseconds delay that LCDs have when updating the display, and sometimes the residual brightness from the LCD backlight (when the NES blacks out the display for a fraction of a second to figure out what the light gun is pointing at) isn't accepted by the console

CRTs can go completely black (similar to modern Oleds) and update instantly, so these work as expected with the light gun

So would high refresh rate OLEDs work?
