  1. Linux has big user friendly problem. you are meant to be able force it to do anything. so when you see the Linux distros saying are you sure you want to do this heed the warning and make sure you know what is going to be happening before you say yes I once upon a time about 20-25 years ago accidentally deleted ETC folder which is akin to deleting the Windows folder and programs folder in one go. so don't feel bad for removing the GUI in your POP!_OS as it is far from the worst you could have done this is a issue where the distro attitude towards the USER is different rather than a bug. Basically Apple treats it's users as children that do not know what they are doing. so you are not allowed to do anything. Windows treats it's users as children that has some idea of what they are doing so you are allowed to do some things if you know the right rituals However still blocking you from messing up the system. Linux treats it's users as Know it all gurus and just provide a slight warning (if you are lucky) asking if you are sure if something critical could potentially happen. if you say yes then it expects you to know what you are doing and just accept that you just asked it to nuke it.
  2. while it is true the difference between a 24" and 27" is only a measurable on paper difference you would not physically be able to see the dot pitch difference of 0.0435mm at the regular sitting distance of an arms length to a 24" or a little more to a 27". there is no point in indistinguishable differences that only really exist if you zoom in with a microscope. In general, the smallest objects the human eye can see without the aid of technology are no smaller than 0.1 millimeters way bigger than the dot pitch difference there is between a 24" 1080p and a 27" 1440p.
  3. well it is true they cost to produce and the material also cost etc. However usually technology becomes more cheap over time. so something that is in a high end product today usually trickles down to a low end product 3-5-10 years from now. this is one of those cases I would argument that this didn't happen they existed in a high end product a few years ago to 3-4 years ago. but when they where about to come in to the midrange to low range they just didn't produce them any more. all the value of the materials in all electronics are usually not that expensive. so it is the process by which they are being made that can make a product expensive to make. my argument here is that 24" 1440p 144hz. should if it follows the normal technological trend become cheaper to produce the longer the technology is known. so it should had been on the limit to becoming cheap enough to produce for the average joe. the reason most people that wants 144hz or above are okay with 1080p is because the price of 1440p was ridiculously high for most of the time it existed.
  4. probably but if they wanted more people to buy their screens maybe they should had found a way to reduce the price to normal levels so that more people would had been interested in buying them. Everyone I know is mostly interested in 24" when it comes to computers but they are not willing to pay more than maximum 300$ and are usually trying to see if they could find screens all the way down at 150$ to 200$ so people like them and me are just not going to spend 600$ + for a screen. which is the price point I last saw a 24" 1440p 144hz at.
  5. as early as 2 years ago I could find 1440p 165hz IPS 24" screens. Just 1 year ago I bought a 1440p 24" 75hz ips screen as that was what my budget allowed me to.. it is a very very recent development contrary to what your initial statement makes it seem. Granted the prices of those 24" 2 years ago was too much for me to consider. but disappointed that we didn't see technology develop as we usually did where prices go down and at some point commoners like me can afford screens like that. but instead what it seems is that when the price on them got too close for me to actually consider them they just stopped producing them. And all the reviewers are suddenly focusing on 27" 1440p 144hz and above when it really doesn't make sense as a 27" 1440p is about the same ppi as a 24" 1080p screen meaning you could just as well had bought a 24" 1080p 144hz and had the same picture quality. bigger screen doesn't mean better thou I do understand why some people think that way. because of how the Television market focused so much on the Bigger screen is better commercials.
  6. I got a 1440p 24" I'm just confused why they stopped making them as it is considerable better than my 1080p just one or two years ago I could had bought a 24" 1440p 165hz ips with no issues if I was willing to put up the money for it. It was just too expensive so I opted for waiting for the price to come down to a reasonable level as screen technology usually does. now however I cannot find it anywhere. especially as I see no reason to downgrade to a 27" 1440p as it is just the same screen quality as a 24" 1080p... why use more computer power on a display that is no more pretty to look at than what you have.
  7. Or the manufacturers just doesn't want to bother with supplying that many models and the people are just forced up in 27".
  8. well I do feel a big enough difference to justify it so that point is arguable. but I guess on some level your explanation have good merit. Basically I just feel left behind. 27 inches is just to big a screen for me and my needs and my two current 24" is 1080@60 and 1440p but 75hz I would had loved to have one at 144hz or more. but when I was in the market for screens I looked at them and saw what I would call unreasonable high prices which I was expecting to come down over time but what happened instead was just a disappearance of those screens. and now I see the 27" market having those same unreasonable high prices on 1440p and high refresh rate.
  9. I'm wondering what happened to that specific line-up of monitors? I do not seem to be able to find any for sale in my country any more. nor in any close by countries. I'm living in the EU. is 24" just not profitable any more ? it does not matter if it is IPS or TN even thou I do prefer IPS. basically it seems if you want a monitor today you are forced to go 27" unless you can accept 1080p at 24" does anybody know or think they have an idea of what happened to make this situation. ?
  10. so if I found some sort of reservoir that I liked I would essentially be able to build almost the same route in my loop just with more bends which I assume is more difficult. any recommendations on reservoir ?
  11. Ultimately yes it is my decision but I'm asking for advice on what someone who have never tried water cooling should be aware about the two paths I've laid out before me. so that I can make an informed decision. if I do go with the reservoir I would like to hear what people think could be a good option to such a large open case. I'm aware that borosilicate tubing will make it more difficult but I really do like the looks on it, so I think I'm going to attempt at going for that but I do appreciate people suggesting PETG/acrylic for making the glass more precise.
  12. I'm well under way planing my first water cooling build. a little introduction to where I'm at: I'm in a bit of a bind here. I was planing to use a distro plate - Barrow Waterway LRC 2.0 RGB Distribution Panel for my Core P5. I'm going to do a hardline build because I've decided it would look the best in my case. I've already planned to use a 480mm long 45mm thick radiator from Alphacool. and I found a D5 pump plus a housing from Alphacool. I'm set in stone about using borosilicate glass for tubing. and got some ideas of how to "Cheat some bends with fittings" I've got a image here sketching up somewhat what I was thinking to do with the distro plate. However I knew this was a sketch that probably wouldn't hold up to reality but it was just preliminary planning when I started finding parts. lo and behold my first pump and housing part is bigger than the image I've stolen and sketched up on top of Basically it would reach all the way up to the just slightly above the distribution plate's exit. So I'm considering that instead of using a distro plate to just stick a large reservoir directly over the housing. and then hardline the rest. I really like the housing and the pump to the point where I'm considering to scrap the distribution plate just to make space for it. but If I where to do that I would need some sort of reservoir that could fill up some of the space the distribution plate took as well as look like it belongs there. I should point out I'm not going to water cool my gfx as it currently is not the one want in the next many years hence why I deleted the part in the image I stole that had the gfx water cooling in. My question: My question here is should I stick with the distribution plate as I'm new at making water cooling builds or should I try to spend the extra time for planning and making longer and more bendy runs with the hardline tubes ?
  13. I have no problem with this video being a showcase sponsored by Facebook it's fine Linus can do whatever with this. My problem is the little fact that Facebook is requiring a Facebook login to even use the quest 2 and that Linus Claimed nothing will be pushed under the rug and at the same time rush past the Facebook login controversy so fast that you would think he is supporting Facebook on this matter. The video and the content was great. the fact it was a sponsored content is also fine and it was even very clearly marked as such. but such an important privacy issue thing is not fair to be rushed past.
  14. the simple fact that the quest 2 requires a facebook account to even work is making this VR headset the worst value you can get... My social media is meant for one thing only and VR and games is not that one thing.
  15. my case can easily fit 480 I was just thinking that, it is not the norm for cases so maybe getting a 360mm would give more sense. and thank you for the two youtube channels I will be studying them thoroughly is there a brand of radiators that's better than the others for beginners? feature, looks or something else ?
