Why did you switch to Linux? I’d like to hear your story.
Btw I switched (from win11 to arch) because I got bored and wanted a challenge. Thx :3

why switch distro? i too am planning to switch to amd, but i can only see pop getting better from it
I’m using easystroke, which doesn’t work on Wayland. So I’m going to move to some distro that still uses X11. Mouse gestures are essential for me.
but pop still uses x11, isn’t it? even the 24 beta, it’s a mix of wayland and x11, as far as i can tell
22.04 currently uses X11, yeah. But the COSMIC DE, as far as I’m aware is Wayland-only. I think they use XWayland or something for some stuff… but I’m not 100% sure about it. All I know is that Wayland kills stuff like xprop and xdotool, and there are no real alternatives. Now it’s up to each DE to figure it out, I think. Supposedly KDE was going to work on mouse gestures, but it’s one of those sponsored works people say they’ll take and then they go AWOL.
Eventually I’ll have to rethink how to place my keyboard and mouse, so I can be comfortable without mouse gestures. I have some physical limitations, so easystroke was helping me a lot, but it’s one of those things most people don’t care about, especially in the Linux community which tends to be more reliant on keyboard. 🤷🏻♂️
