  • Unfortunately no. I mean for the most part it works pretty well (Plasma 6) but I do have a couple consistent issues.

    1. On my AMD gaming laptop it has some weird video static artifacts occasionally when running on the laptop screen that don’t exist on external screens. But I know that it it isn’t a problem with the screen, because it happens on two different laptops with the same CPU/ GPU combination.

    2. A slightly more serious issue on my work laptop which uses an old Nvidia MX-series GPU, and if I’m using an external screen, Wayland crashes if the screen goes to sleep.

    But other than those issues, it’s been pretty good.








  • When someone else has the hiccups, cup your hands together (like you’re about to pour water in them), hold them in front of them and excitedly tell them repeatedly (in a loud-ish, hurried voice like you’re about to miss out on the chance of a lifetime):

    " Quick! Hiccup in my hands! Hurry up! Do it! Hiccup in my hands!"

    Gotta do it quickly and unexpectedly enough to surprise them. They’ll either be so surprised that they forget the hiccup, or they will actually try to do it but be so focused on it that they won’t be able to.

    It’s got a pretty high success rate for when I’ve tried it.



  • Not only is “Googling” one of my most important job skills, now that I’m doing professional services, my entire job basically consist of “Learn product ${FOO} faster than the customer’s employees can.” Which of course primarily consists of knowing what to search for, how to find it, and how to interpret and use what I find.
