are you able to get your work done on other suites like LibreOffice / OnlyOffice, or does it require MS specific functionality?

I’m using it now instead of gboard behind a firewall

Also supports gestures for text selection (slide left/right on space bar) and text deletion (per character instead of per-word on gboard)

Really liking this. Thank you for the recommendation.

Are you able to increase the information density a little further by holding Ctrl and minus? This is how mine looks with gnome 45

Ah, sorry to hear. I’ll try and find where that entity sizing is declared but I’d be a but out of my depth there.

I can’t use gnome without dash to panel and no overview at login.

I wish there was a setting to show the action bar on all displays in standard gnome (similar to how macOS behaves).

I also use the AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support plugin as the background process indicator isn’t great from a UX perspective just yet.

This is precisely what I do with the keychron Q0. Love having a numpad, but I also love having more room on the right side for my mouse

Appreciate you following up to edit for context.

Speaking from my experience with fedora and windows 10 and 11 within the same system.

1. As others have stated here, If you can, please keep each operating system on it’s own physical disk. Disconnect others if you perform a new Windows install on any, as it’ll attempt to store its bootloader on disk 0 regardless of the OS destination drive.

2. LUKS2 is part of the fedora workstation setup, I imagine it will be presented to you upon install with Mint. If you’re on separate physical disks, you shouldn’t have much to worry about, but as far as I’m aware, you’re okay to use disk encryption on drives partitioned with two systems.

3. There’s a Dropbox .deb and .rpm for linux as far as I can tell, but I cannot attest to its quality or how well it integrates with a given file manager. Cloud accounts are generally well supported amongst the key desktop environments, for which I’d consider Cinnamon to be a part of.

4. Modern, mainstream distributions are pretty GUI friendly. I fully expect you to be able to get by on Mint without needing to touch the command line much if at all. That said, I grab CLI oriented tools from the terminal and graphical apps from the app store. Enabling flathub will give you access to a broad selection of graphical software so by all means, go for it.

5. I’m not wise so I’ll hold back here. I will say that Fedora has allowed me to approach linux as an absolute casual for nearly 6 years now.

Fedora fees like a nice and tightly integrated distro. I’m no apple fan but I can appreciate consistent UX, I feel like Fedora for now is the closest to that level of experience, whilst pioneering in desktop-centric technologies.

I have this looming fear that IBM will somehow fuck everything over someday, but as far as I understand, the Fedora project still operates with the same level of autonomy as they did pre-aquisition.
