Too bad the desk space sucks…

Anyways here’s the real setup that was controlling that big ass screen
Also sorry if the text formatting is messed up (I am posting from mobile)
Funnily enough noone noticed that anything was “out of the ordinary”. The event organizer, who isn’t techy, asked to use my pc so he could transfer some assets for display, sent them over, right clicked the photoshop files, and opened them in a cracked photoshop program i installed using wine. He then proceeded to add some finishing touches and export them as png files without noticing this pc wasn’t running windows.
The thing that caused the most hiccups wasn’t the os/software, but the hardware. The camera crew handed me some thunderbolt capture cards which didn’t work because my $300 laptop which I got for free didn’t support thunderbolt. We switched to some usb capture cards, and they worked perfectly without any configuring.
So I guess Linux has reached the title of It just works™️ (at least for this use case)
oh
It’s hard to notice these kinds of things when most “software” nowadays is browser based, or supports multiple OSs.
You’re no longer using MacOS, Windows or Linux. You’re using Firefox and electron.
