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

Jontique ,

Could be true for governmental work and computers but the masses aren't moving to linux, it's still under 1% in China.

Jontique ,

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

Jontique ,

Still haven’t found an answer if it will support the wayland screen-tearing protocol for fullscreen applications (games mainly), does anyone know?

Looking great though, looking forward to it next year!

Jontique ,

I got a reply to this one, for anyone else wondering:

github.com/pop-os/cosmic-comp/issues/248

“Yes, it is on the TODO list and we will eventually support it. But it’s not a very high priority.”

Jontique OP ,

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!

Jontique OP ,

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?

Jontique ,

My guess is that the shown number is the storage requirements when they add the war games maps and Danger Zone maps

Jontique ,

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

Why should I primary Linux for Home Desktop and which one do you recommend?

I’ve always used Windows and am super comfortable with it. I have set up a dual boot with fedora but don’t use it because I have never identified a need to use it. I see a lot of windows hate, so what does Linux have that I need? What can motivate me to migrate? What is a good Linux to have for a desktop + steam?

Jontique ,

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.

Jontique ,

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.

Jontique ,

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.

State of gaming on linux?

I used linux in the past, both privately and work-related, but the last time was over 10 years ago, so I’m a bit out of touch. I am in need of a new PC, but it’ll be a good year before I have the funds, so for now I am making due with an i5 7500 and a gtx 1660. I do have 32 GB so there’s that. I finally feel confident...

Jontique ,

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
