  • The only disadvantage of display port that I can think of is that it’s harder to find capture devices (or at least Linux compatible ones) that have display port. Generally no one cares about that stuff though. I use capture cards because I sometimes do stuff involving other computers and it’s 1000 times more convenient to have a vlc window floating around with the display output.

    No one seems to have this use case besides me, I’m just glad that there exist capture cards fast enough to do playback in real-time and not a 5 second delay. I don’t stream.



  • Every time I’ve ever owned a non gpu laptop, it’s like I’ve always had to bring along either another laptop or a gaming console when on longer term trips or temporary moves. I don’t care that gaming laptops are 0.2 inches thicker which somehow makes them 100% impractical to most people. I’d rather only have to bring 1 device with me.












  • People have already made lots of good replies but here’s my summary:

    tmux is a terminal multiplexer. It allows multitasking in command line only environments. For example if you have to do a sudo apt upgrade but don’t want to leave your ssh client logged in until it finishes, you can run it in a tmux session so it will happen in the background even if you’re not logged in.

    To start a new session, type “tmux”

    To view running sessions, type “tmux list-sessions”

    To switch to a running session, type “tmux attach-session -c N” where N is the number of the session.

    To exit a tmux terminal and go back to the main terminal, do ctrl+b and then press d.
