And Adobe could make you pay that because they had enough money before, to do the lobbying required to make sure the institutions don’t go FOSS.

Perhaps, would be a nice idea to have some uni that gives both, artistic and programming courses, have the art people interact with software being worked on by the programming people. And they could use any FOSS project for that.
That way everyone gets lots of code to look at and play with, learn skills that otherwise freshers would gravely lack (looking at other’s code) and maybe also get some upstream commits ^[1]. while greatly reducing school fees

Just if the projects had a 10th of the funding of Adobe

Guess I was lucky to have a social standing privileged enough, as a junior dev.

But also, probably because they actually required determinism, with it being critical and all.

Imagine getting told by a couples therapist that they can’t see your relationship working out… And then you go on a big rant saying how you should still be together?

Honestly, if someone has to go to couples therapy, they’re already at a point where their judgement is written off.

This output is just for the network firewall.
In this case, you might want to ignore all messages with this pattern.

Perhaps look into other messages

LMDE

Oops! I thought it was some obscure DE.

Considering your points, it seems to be most probably some configuration issue.
Might even be that some of the automated monitor/display configuration tools (might be some GUI settings thing) wonked out and reconfigured something.

If your system has some shortcut combination for selecting external monitor/connected projector/mirror screen, perhaps you can try that.

Also, since you mentioned xrandr, I would assume X Session. You can also use xrandr to check and set the monitor configuration. Not just whether it is connected, but also location (left/right/up/down) and screen resolution of each display separately. Perhaps trying those could tell you what is happening.

This is interesting.
What is the requirement for not using Linux directly on hardware for music?

1. Any recent software updates that you might find relevant?

• It would be good to know which distro you use
• “Samsung commercial” would make me believe it doesn’t get automatic updates, but just in case, that is also a factor.

2. Does the TV work with other input sources on the same port?
3. Reading “Samsung”, I would assume it has multiple input ports. What was the result with other ports.

Interesting case for a KWin plugin/addon
