There's a self-perpetuating cycle of

1. Manufacturers only write drivers and support for Windows because that's what most people are using.

2. "My device doesn't work OOTB on Linux, so I'll use Windows." Leading to point 1.

I want to like Linux

Unfortunately, this is going to be more difficult for you. See above. Blame Nvidia and, let me guess, Broadcom?

Look, if he was dying, he wouldn't bother to type "aarrggh". He'd just say it!

I'd love a 20V battery for power tools that just has a USB3 plug instead of special chargers.

Good news, I'm starting to see products like this on the market!

To be faaaaaaair... The devices no longer have the DC voltage and current ratings listed on them like they used to.

Tension makes me think of how one "can't let go" if high-voltage AC is flowing through their arms. 😬

...and warnings in multiple languages. HAUTE TENSION!

Potential or electromotive force. "Voltage" is long accepted. The only use of "amperage" you'll find in The Art of Electronics is in the index: Amperage, see current. Ampère called current "intensité du courant", hence I in V = I × R.

I don't know why it bugs me. This is Mildly Infuriating... The place for nitpicking! 😅

That's the joke. Edit: oops, you got the message already! 😂

They might have to eschew morals and start gaslighting the populace to regain influence.

Wait...

For some reason, "amperage" mildly infuriates me. It's current.

Voltage equals amperage times ohmage.

No problem. I think in my case only Wine/Proton games were doing it and native Linux games were fine. I shake my fist at Nvidia and carry on. 😂

Try this setting: Display Configuration > Screen tearing: Allow in fullscreen windows. Whatever it's set to, try the other setting. I had a similar issue once and this fixed it. The issue came back a long time later and switching it again fixed it. 🤷‍♂️

It's a difficult issue to pin down. I've also read about video stuttering while trying to stay synched to pipewire audio which is having buffer underruns, even if your audio sounds fine. To check the audio buffer, you install and run pw-top and then watch it while you are having the video problem.
