Most can be disabled. Mine looks pretty much the same as it did 5 years ago. Try installing the developer edition or nightly to test if you can edit it to your liking

99% depends on your budget too. I have a 7900XTX and it has been smooth on wayland

Oh, makes sense. It thought Valve would already be working with some manufacurers based on this interview from November

Shame that all these companies choose win11 over SteamOS

Missing codecs, try running with Proton-GE

on ExpressVPN many servers are blocked but if you pick a smaller country like Luxembourg it can work

Same here. this is upsetting :/ Back to firefox I guess

Going to ask here, anyone know a music player that is similar to AIMP? It has no native support, unfortunately.

thanks!

Looks nice! which icons are these?

UPDATE: I am an idiot.

I was setting the acceleration method for the wrong device all the time. I didn’t realize to select the actual mouse from the dropdown in KDE mouse settings until I plugged in my old mouse in.

Anyway that’s the acceleration solved. Also as qwesx pointed out, there is some issue with my Logitech Pro X Superlight. The mouse feels more sluggish when using the wireless dongle compared to it being wired. Must be the wrong polling rate or something?

Huh, it could be that I need a fresh install. I will try adding KDE Neon or something on my Ventoy and post an update. Thanks!

I recently built a custom keyboard by getting Keychron Q6 and Ducky One 3 PBT keycaps, the space is slightly tight if it’s not placed evenly, but they work and have shine-through! for the switches you should do your own research, since I like tactile :)

Anyway the keyboard works via the browser app VIA which is open source

edit: check maxgaming if you’re nordic. they have decent selection, it’s where I got my Q6

I am also dual booting because of game compability and Virtual Reality support.

I think once wine-wayland gets fully merged we will see a clear uplift in performance, at least on wayland.

This very much.

The reason I switched was the forced updates that kept slowing down my computer when I needed the juice and network. Also there was a constant pressure to “upgrade” to win11.

OP, If you don’t have many major grievances with windows, it might not be worth switching. Nothing stopping you from taking a look in case you might like it. I have enjoyed my experience so far, despite some small issues.

Nobara on my desktop, Pop_os! on my laptop. As soon as the new COSMIC DE is ready I will switch to Pop on my desktop as well.

Seems pretty okay. I managed to get League of legends/TFT running perfectly fine (though the launcher is a bit stuttery)

CSGO I noticed runs WAY smoother on Linux. Maybe becausw it uses Vulkan which is a lot more modern than dx9. But the aim just feels… smoother despite the same FPS?

edit: on Nobara and a AMD GPU
