Thanks, didn't know about this one.

It kinda sounds like some kind of driver issue to me. The fact that it doesn't detect modes other than a single super basic one sound like not having a proper graphics driver. However, I have no clue why it would work again on reboot and maybe even more importantly, why the other monitor does have a proper mode detected. I wouldn't expect that if the driver was messed (you would expect all monitors to be assigned some basic mode).

As I understand you take in some stream video akin to /dev/video0 and want to enlarge it so you can look at your monitor while playing? Whenever it is something with video ffmpeg can probably solve it. FFmpeg flags like -vf also work on the video player, ffplay.

At the bottom they talk about choosing scaling algorithms, try some out to see what combination of quality and speed you get.

If google had a baby she would drop it on its head.

very glad indeed

It is shown by non-systemd distros that systemd doesn't really solve problems for desktop usage. When you switch away, not much changes basically. I sometimes hear that it is a different story on servers.

What about FZF? For example, I want to play a video file without digging through my files, I type fflpay and press ctrl-t which opens a fzf fuzzy finder. Type the incomplete name and select it. I would suggest this at least for the second example as running the wrong executable may get you in trouble. This is on the fish shell but I think other shells have similar possibilities. I also use this ctrl-t thing in combination with nvim or even cd.

You can call it low effort, but Lemmy is a "link aggregator". Even just sharing links has its value.

Multiple people say the image is broken but I can see it just fine (I'm on PC/web).

You are probably referring to Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou. There are a lot of SOL anime so I got to choose something. Personally I think it is pretty good but not as good as some other anime that I would recommend over it. As well as the fact that Bocchi the Rock has a mostly female cast so I unconsciously selected anime that are similar in that regard. If OP wants to try something with a large male cast this is the only anime I can think of that would be fitting so it's good that you mention it.

What is similar? Does it need to be a band anime? Does it require social anxiety characters? Just cute girls doing cute things (CGDCT) in general? Have yuri elements?

• slice of life (SOL) with characters playing in a band: K-ON! (band aspect is secondary)
• SOL with anxious main character: Hitori Bocchi no Marumaru Seikatsu
• general SOL/CGDCT classics: Lucky Star, Nichijou, Azumanga Daioh
• more modern SOL/CGDCT: Kiniro Mosaic, Gochuumon wa Usagi desuka?
• SOL with yuri: Hidamari Sketch (moderate, also a classic), Yuyushiki (lots)

edit: I personally don't think that Bocchi the Rock! is super laid back, but if you compare it to action shows it obviously is. If you really want to go the laid back route you can look into the genre Iyashikei ("healing type") with anime such as Non Non Biyori, Yuru Camp (still have to watch this one so can't verify personally but is very popular) and Yokohama Kaidaishi Kikou (absolute classic).
