What? Gitea. Gitlab is a complete devops platform. Awesome, but complete overkill.
Why? Because I regularly commit code atrocities and have a hard enough time dealing with imposter syndrome, I don’t need to add public shaming on top of it (And just data sovereignty I guess)
Apparently this was a controversial take
When I first started learning how to Linux long ago everyone recommended Ubuntu… and I had a similar issue to the OP.
I had to dump the EDID of my monitor from a Windows machine to actually get X to recognise any kind of monitor modes …it was an eye opening experience for a newbie.
Today, I still dont really like it for other reasons (I’d take Debian over Ubuntu any day). Call me crazy here guys but I think its okay to share an opinion without being called an edgelord for it.
(I use arch btw 🎩)
