  • I have a multi monitor setup and regularly play helldivers, war thunder, etc on an rtx card on a display with gsync

    The games often have stuttering problems and behave generally unexpectedly when in full screen, and mouse capture dosent work, so 50% of the time I had to disable the monitor so it dosent go to the other screen and tab out of the game

    Tried on both endeavourOS and mint, so its probably a cinnamon thing

    I use it on my backup PC tho and never had a problem with normal applications, its great performance wise

    Fedora

    Used linux for 4 years now, I’ll list it and the reason why I switched

    • Ubuntu (snaps, etc)

    • arch (too much setup)

    • opensuse (nvidia drivers don’t get checked for size, broke my GUI many times

    • Gentoo (too much compile time)

    • bazzite (a bit boring)

    • fedora atomic (immutable, can’t get mullvad on it), still use on my htpc

    • mint (cinnamon DE is shit)

    • endeavour (its still arch)

    • fedora regular







  • Just a heads up, you have apparently never helped any stranger.

    Once they know you can help for free, they will expect this of you all the time, for free.

    And the questions will be infuriating as ever. If you want to try it, just go to a beginners forum like gutefrage or your equivalent shitposting site and just answer every question on linux. No skipping.

    Trust me, or if you dont at least just get a second phone number for it so you dont have to migrate to a second one once you decided that it takes a way too big toll on your mental health

    grapheneos’ attacks on other groups

    Where Attack? The worst Graphene ever did was say that they don’t support certain Phones like FP because they are not updating their OS to their liking

    Are you gonna go to Qubes OS next and complain that they are attacking laptop manufacturers (don’t officially support Laptops because they don’t have an open source UEFI)?



  • Thats what I mean, in the last few weeks/months, there was no big thing that win users needed to be able to switch.

    Linux in a vacuum is a great OS, and what it cant do in the context of Windows is more a „Proprietary formats and software being Industry standard” problem than a Linux problem.

    I’m not saying that everyone should just abandon the standards , but that if you need to have these standards, nothing is going to change in a production envoirment that magically makes Linux work for you (in home you can argue about VMs and proton, but that’s not a valid tactic for companies), and you need to keep using windows.

    And the other way around, if you don’t need any of these standards, you don’t have any reason to still use Windows, except that you don’t want to change.


  • This.

    For Years, you had the Option to use Linux. Since the release of the win 11 beta, Linux has not made any relevant big steps. The leopards have simply decided to eat your face this time.

    A refugee would be someone losing their home in a bombing. A windows 10 turned Linux user is more like a Trump voter turned no kings protestor because he though sending the government emails will sure stop the anti trans laws.

    And no, sOmE uSeRs hAvE tO uSe WinDoWs is not an argument. If everyone who was still on windows until now was reliant on it, why are they installing and switching to Linux? Every new Linux user is someone who was simply too ignorant to install it.



  • is the only difference the syntax ? How libraries interact? How disks are mounted ?

    Ah, yes.

    You know, the things you just mentioned ARE the basic differences. As long as both work on the same architecture, and none reinvent the wheel, everything is the same.

    And as long as you don’t reinvent the computer and make a new assembly and binary, a kernel and libraries will be the most effective ways to work.

    Its like saying „what is the difference between python and c++ anyway? If we just strip away everything differentiating the 2, we just get a programming lang.

    And yes, I would prefer Linux, for the same reason a python Dev prefers python and a C++ Dev prefers C++: because I’m Used to the syntax and the quirks of Linux. I don’t want to jump back to the ungodly CLI of cmd, powershell and everything else. I have learned the ins and outs of Linux, and that’s how its gonna stay.






  • So, they’re basically bridges that allow you to use some Windows programs in Linux?

    They are like really Bad cocaine. Sure, it may work, but if you want to give up that much time, might as well learn an alternative because the next version will need a new workaround.

    I read they can use vst files with a bit of work

    That’s an emulator.

    Is there a difference between Wine and Proton

    Proton-ge is a fork of proton is a fork of wine, which only exists because Wine isnt made for gaming specifically and proton can’t include a bunch of stuff because of legal reasons which enhance gaming further.
