I was spinning up Chrome while trying to move around a Firefox window to my other monitor. Crazy though I haven't seen issues like this on any OS in at least a decade
Its the classic experience
@tdawg Nvidia?
Yup yup. I dread every driver update like my job depends on it (because it does)
What theme is that?
I’m really concerned about all those dead pixels.
Ha. Ha.
That is a redaction for privacy :)
dude broke his monitor just for one photo
You forgot the /s
Close, it's X11/Xorg
Is that GNOME?
This happens on windows 10 still.
I've had it happen on Windows 11 so its not gone there
This happens to me sometimes, I am running pop_os. It hasn't been a particular window / program that does it, just seem to happen when something is thinking harder than usual. Then it goes away, I ynno, I'm not a screen scientist.
Does Windows still use GDI? Looks like GDI took a shit.
I think Windows moved to The Brotherhood of Nod a long time ago
No idea. I'm not using windows in this screenshot :p
Is that ChromeOS? I don't recognized the windowing system.
The only window is Firefox, which makes it hard to tell, but I'd guess it's GNOME with the Aylur extension.
Yeah my setup is mostly out-of-box Ubuntu + a bunch of random crap I've experimented with over the years that never got properly uninstalled. I should probably do a fresh install one of these days but I'm looking to swap to a more hands-on repo if that day comes
Fixing and maintaining a linux box is good exercise. Ubuntu has been sucking, though. I've been on a straight Debian for about six months now.
Since Windows 8, no. The last version to support running without DWM.exe was 7. Long live 7 :(
I never see this kind of stuff with XFCE. I run various flavors of Debian that do not go through Ubuntu.
No, you got it backwards. It's 95 windows
I was spinning up Chrome
There's your problem, shit eats resources like a mofo.
Also stop using Chrome, stop giving it market share, Google is trying to DRM the whole Internet into using Chrome. LibreWolf on desktop, Fennec on mobile, both support all your addons, too!
Librewolf is a bit extreme, regular firefox will do.
Sure, okay, regular FireFox on both, uBlock Origin is great, too!
GNOME 95 /s
Why is the void consuming your monitor?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
