At first I was tipping my toes in Ubuntu but kept coming back to Windows as I kept running into stability issues. Googling my issues very frequently kept sending me to the Arch wiki, and I thought “well if they have so much covered, why not use this distro instead”. That and 196 subreddit (rule) made me try Arch, and my experience was noticeably better. Barely any crashes and improving Proton compatibility made me use it more and more. I kept a windows install for VR and anti-cheat enabled games until late 2023.
During my transition period (both in Linux and gender lol) between 2021 and now, I kept getting comments “why are you making your life harder with Linux, just use Windows where everything works”. Well, nowadays tables have turned and now I get to say “weird it works for me on Linux”. Except VR, it’s still a mixed experience.
What war? It’s a special operation /s
I’d like to see those numbers stacked against modern Proton/Wine-GE solutions focused on gaming, rather than stock Wine
And Discord for communication
Arch, roughly 2 months ago
Uninstalling Xwayland breaks it, you’re greeted to a black background and your mouse pointer.
Additionally, as per their own website, it says “The workspaces have been developed for X11 and much functionality relies on X11. To be able to make proper use of Wayland these bits have to be rewritten.”
KWin is just a composer though. Plasma as a desktop environment still relies on XWayland
I find that ironic as in SDR mode Plasma says EDID colour profiles tend to be very inaccurate
I run foobar2000 to transcode music, apply ReplayGain and edit tags. Except I do all of that on Linux through Wine, I have no clue why someone needs Windows for foobar
Epic with a lower cut has the same game prices. Additionally Valve lowered their cut ahead of a launch of Epic Games Store
I think you’re talking about CPU governors (conservative, ondemand, powersave etc.)
Changing schedulers on-the-fly, depending on what you need to do on your machine.
You’re on X or Wayland?
On KDE you can force VRR for non-fullscreen apps by setting Adaptive Sync to “Always” in Display settings
Used to tip my toes in Linux world circa 2011 as a kid. I found Ubuntu easier to set up than Windows, but the software catalogue was lacking (games, Adobe software).
Came back to it in 2021 when I read about Valve’s commitment to Wine/Proton and DXVK. Tried out Ubuntu once again but I found it unreliable - random lockups, UI bugs (AMD GPU). Whenever I had an issue my answers were featured on Arch wiki, so I thought “why not Arch then”. That and many memes about femboys/trans girls (haii ^^) using Arch made me try it out and… I stayed with it. Would occasionally reboot to Windows for games with anti-cheat and VR, but over time I kept using Windows less and less.
Fast forward to this year, since April my PC is no longer tainted by Microsoft. All of the games I play work on Linux with no quirks to them, KDE Wayland supports screen tearing so I can play competitive games on it, SteamVR works good enough so don’t have to dualboot anymore.
Kinda glad I learned all of this, as Windows is going downhill with all of the hardware requirements and AI buzzwords
Ultrakill has a Blahaj and it’s description says “it’s a sign of femininity and ‘those who give’”
Friendly reminder: Molex to SATA, Lose all of your data
FYI Plasma Wayland doesn’t start with SDDM, you have to edit ~/.bash_profile and remove the “startx” line (or comment it out)
Iirc there’s a setting for Wireplumber (in case you’re using PipeWire) to disable that behaviour when a BT mic is being picked up
