Have you googled Windows issues? Every problem apparently is fixed by running chkdsk or download a "driver updater". And it wasn't exactly good in the past either.
If you don't know what to search, how to word it, or where to look instead of clicking the first link with "[SOLUTION]" then maybe you shouldn't be troubleshooting...
Oh come off it. Obviosuly you don't click those the problem is the Microsoft support articles are outdated/missing and their own forums aren't much better.
The chaff you have to cut through for Microsoft products is on another level.
Wayland pretty much solves every single dual monitor issue. Only problem now is getting complete Nvidia support and patching out edge cases. I dual monitor all the time, and not just normal dual monitor either, the monitor count increases or decreases on a whim and not a single screen in use are the same. They all have different refresh rates, resolutions, orientations, vrr & hdr support, color ranges, etc. everything works as expected.
Last time I checked (during the installation of Fedora 39), HDR support was nearly non-existent in Linux, with the only options being some hacky experimental support for gaming via Gamescope. Has that changed in the last 6 months? It’s the only thing holding me back from jumping to Linux these days.
I do technical support (mainly Windows but some Linux) and fully agree; most people just want to project for one reason or another. My main concern is privacy and bloat, but those are easy enough to address on either platform.
Yeah. If that's not one of the first things IT did when they got hired, then you need a new IT. You seriously can't trust anyone to not plug a random USB into volatile infostructure.
Also, they could do it to prevent theft of their proprietary code and other things that you'd probably need to sign a NDA to even see in the first place.
I don't think so; there was a procedure for it and we had root access. It just didn't work according to the procedure, nor any of the ones I found online. If I remember correctly, it said to mount sda1 and that didn't work. Another different machine worked with sdb0 or 1. Ended up having to plug a laptop in with a network cable and ftp the files.
