Using Widows on my private rig now to play Fortnite with my son after ~15 years on Linux only. Also getting a MacBook Pro at work now, since I have to use Zoom and stuff like that everyday. Having no hardware acceleration on Linux is a no-go. This is not Linux’ fault though. Also I’m old enough to just use the right tool for a job.
I wish Linux had Powertoys Fancy Zones
kde plasma has it enabled by default. just drag your windows using shift. also press super + t to enter the editing mode
Splits my Ultrawide into several customised sections that I can snap Windows to.
As I’m dragging a window I simultaneously right click and a bunch of zones appear that I can snap it to.
I have an Ultrawide and a portrait 1440p that are split vertically and horizontally respectively.
Having to fiddle with some games, I need my DLSS. I’mnin this for live tho.
Nothing, but my biggest gripe is with the fucking file explorers. All of them are super inferior compared to win10 sadly
Very specific - linux mint occasionally… crashes? Goes back to lock screen randomly, and closes all open programs. Very annoying to have happen when playing Beyond All Reason with 15 other people, causing the game to pause while I scramble to get back in (if possible). Haven’t looked into why too much, just went back to Windows to game. Mint for casual browsing and most else.
Thats a reason against mint not Linux XD had it too, just use a modified GNOME or KDE desktop and you are fine and actually have wayland support
Fair point, Mint doesn’t represent Linux as a whole. I finally settled on Mint cause I didn’t like the look of stock GNOME and… I forget why I decided against using Mint’s KDE. Choose Cinnamon cause I was tired after distro hopping a bunch and didn’t want to tinker anymore.
I’m sure you can customize GNOME to look like KDE/Cinnamon, but if it just breaks in the next update or two I’d rather not go through the trouble.
I think I read somewhere that Mint is getting wayland support soon though? It’ll be nice if that fixes the crashing bug.
