Ever since I stopped gaming as much, linux has become infinitely more fitting to me. My main driver is Mint 21.3, it does everything i want it to. Its fun, and a great learning experience. Though obviously you gotta want to learn how to fix things if things go wrong, which they still do, but mostly at the beginning. After installing the right graphics drivers, and fixing touchpad scroll speed, everythings smooth sailing.
I wish I could use linux, most (not all) of the apps I use regularly are better on a linux distro. I self host a lot of services on linux machines, and god I would love to rid myself of Microsoft. But my main computer OS? still stuck with Windows.
I just (a few years ago) upgraded my graphics card and at that time NVidia had a better deal then AMD… I’m not sst to upgrade for at least 5 years still. Every distro I’ve tested have weird problems that cannot be solved by a few lines of code, all seem to point to Nvidia, but it’s hard to say without testing without.
My main computer is working as is with Windows, until there is a linux distro that just works with nvidia, I’ll stick to it and the many tools I have to keep my things as private from Microsoft as I can. One of the many problems I’ve had is the task bar/desktop/windows hang/freezes, have to go in the terminal to reboot or force a shutdown. If I have to reboot everytime I want to use the computer and reset all my apps, when the only times it happens now is when windows forces it : not for me thanks.
everyone in the comments is talking about linux, not a single comment about how this meme format is used exactly wrong
This isn’t really how this format works but ok
Fractional Scaling (Done)
Can you please tell my computer that? 😄
Linux isn’t ready.
While many things will work ‘out of the box’, many won’t. Hell, for like 3 months HDR was causing system-wide crashes on Plasma for Nvidia cards, so the devs just disabled the HDR options until there was an upstream fix.
There are still a host of resume-from-sleep issues, Wayland support is still spotty, and most importantly - not every piece of software will run.
Linux is my daily driver, I have learned to live and love the jank. My wife uses windows and does not want to be confronted with a debugging challenge 5% of the time when she turns on her computer, and I think that is fair.
These kinds of posts paper over lots of real issues and can be counterproductive. If someone jumps into the ecosystem without understanding, these kinds of posts only set them up for frustration and disappointment.
It is FINALLY Linux year!!! 😆
No more excuses bird!
Wish it was ready. I have it dual booted with windows. Until these things work for me I can’t permanently switch:
Adobe H264/5 in davinci free Battle.net working (I can’t get it to work even with tutorials. Works in windows) AMD adrenaline/Nvidia control panels and shadow play. AMD frame gen.
The fact is, if my favourite game doesn’t run on Linux, Linux is dead to me.
Similarly to some software that has no direct alternatives.
Which sucks.
And it still doesn’t work with my NVIDIA GPU causing my monitors to freeze and stop working.
HDR isn’t all that great for gaming yet, in my opinion. It takes too much tweaking just to get it working, because apparently games/proton still aren’t able to natively pass that metadata to Wayland?
Running every applicable game or all of Steam through Gamescope brings its own problems with how it handles the window, so I end up never using it at all. I just want it to be as simple as it is on Windows, man! 😩
Also, VRR seems to make my screen flicker at an unnoticeably-high-but-still-irritating rate at random whenever I alt+tab, never figured that out yet…
Finally, I do wish there was a simpler, more paint.net-like editor rather than GIMP, and I’m sure it’s out there somewhere, but otherwise basically every thing on that list of features works well enough for me.
Can someone more plugged in than me show me what I gotta do to get that ‘Discord Wayland sharing’ working? I literally installed Vencord a month ago because every time I tried to share a window or my screen on discord it would hard crash.
dual monitor on wayland…still f’d up
