Brand new Mac Mini, just came out today. It has a full year of warranty left.

My HDMI tops out at 144hz, issue still present.

1440p at 170Hz with the DisplayPort. But I also tried going down to 60hz, but in that brief time I did that, that made the flickering issue even more apparent.

Occasionally, I will get these vertical lines going down my screen and some flicker. I’ve had this problem with a thunderbolt to DisplayPort cable and an HDMI to HDMI cable. I also highly doubt it’s a monitor problem because it’s been working flawlessly in Linux and before that Windows.

Has anyone else experienced this? I also saw that Sequoia 15.1 released, not sure if this is a problem that Apple knows about that’s fixed in the new version. Really hoping it’s not a hardware issue with my unit.

¿Touch Friendly Desktop Environment? in c/[email protected]
[–] that_leaflet 4 points 2 days ago (4 children)

I hear that Gnome can struggle on touchscreens due to some GTK bugginess.

Plasma is probably a good bet since it has a dedicated touch friendly mode and is tested on the Steam Deck, which has a touch screen.

There’s third party Appimages. They also had a blog post discussing using Appimages for testing builds. If that gets done, I don’t see why they wouldn’t offer an official build.

I believe it’s an Apple Silicon limitation in their lower end chips.

I've had ios apple phones all my post-2010 life and am thinking about buying my first android phone, what are some things to know before switching? in c/apple_enthusiast
[–] that_leaflet 15 points 6 days ago (1 children)

On iOS, I feel like doing things take a few extra taps and swipes than they would on Android.

But on the whole apps made for iOS feel higher quality. Even Google’s own apps are better on iOS. I feel like the problem is that Apple forces developers to adopt changes quickly, whereas Google lets apps use years old API versions.

Funny, FSR2 helps me a lot but FSR3’s frame generation does nothing for me.

Makes sense that it includes snap given that KDE officially supports their apps packaged as snaps, unlike Gnome.

If I recall correctly, aren’t they going for an Arch base? I assume they’re going to be enabling AppArmor so that the snap sandboxing is mostly working, except for the patches Canonical have failed to upstream so far.

If they’re not including the proprietary Nvidia driver, they’re definitely not including ZFS.

Some questions about the new base M4 Mac Mini and connecting displays (self.apple_enthusiast)
submitted 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) by that_leaflet to c/apple_enthusiast

I have two 1440p 170Hz monitors that I want to use with the new Mac Mini, but I'm a bit concerned whether they can reach their full potential. Apple's spec page says

Up to two displays: One display with up to 5K resolution at 60Hz over Thunderbolt and one display with up to 8K resolution at 60Hz or 4K resolution at 240Hz over Thunderbolt or HDMI

Doing some math, it seems like it should be supported. 5K at 60Hz should be equivalent bandwidth wise as 1440p at 240Hz. They say that can be paired with an 8K display at 60Hz, and 1440p at 170Hz should be lower bandwidth than that. But I would like to hear from others who have first hand experience.

Another question I have is if it's possible to get a Thunderbolt 4 hub that has two HDMI 2.1 ports or DisplayPort 1.4 ports and use that. Based on some Amazon listing warnings, it seems that MacOS only lets you use one of those ports to extend your display, the other would be just for mirroring. Though this shouldn't be the end of the world since the the Mac Mini has HDMI 2.1, I would just need to get a thunderbolt to HDMI 2.1 cable for my second monitor.

I would also appreciate Thunderbolt to HDMI 2.1 cable recommendations that are known to work at high refresh rates. Some Amazon reviews report the cables maxing at at 4k 60Hz (and not mentioning anything about 1440p max Hz).

Apple’s first Mac mini redesign in 14 years looks like a big aluminum Apple TV in c/apple_enthusiast
[–] that_leaflet 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm tempted by this too (or maybe the upcoming MacBook Air). I'm just worried that I'm not going to like MacOS. I'm pretty happy with Linux, like FOSS, but Apple just has the best hardware at the moment.

Nope, both on the same Wifi network. Can't think of why it would be showing differently. Not even force refreshing the page did anything. But I just checked again and now it's showing the right prices.
