I don’t know how to feel about it tbh. My steam deck and vita have oled displays, the tv downstairs has hdr, but it never made as much of a difference imo. Like when i’m sitting at my va monitor i don’t feel like i’m missing anything. Maybe it’s just a personal thing in terms of what you’re most sensitive to. I feel like i’m most sensitive towards refreshrate. I also don’t bother with ray tracing cause even in the best examples like cyberpunk, people usually have to point out the difference to me because i barely notice it.

That’s probably just going to be regular ubuntu at some point lol

Flatpak is gonna need some more work for me to accept it as the only way to install software if that were to happen though. The only reason i use them right now is because together with appimages they are the least sucky to use, and it beats manually compiling the software.

Huh, i thought that was something wayland was actually good at lol. Haven’t experienced any issues myself.

Yeah vrr causing flickering on the desktop is a common issue. I’m only using window managers so i just toggle it on or off with a keybind. On kde or hyprland you could try setting it to only turn on for fullscreen applications.

I think what you’re referring to is when you install windows and linux on the same drive. That can indeed cause problems, but if you use seperate drives you should be good to go.

Could you give an example of that? Cause i’m kinda curious. I have used home manager before when i was using nixos, but when i left i went back to using my script. It was kinda annoying to me how home manager was much slower.

Meanwhile i’m using my own silly bash script to symlink all my dotfiles from my repo 🗿

From my experience your mileage may vary when it comes to being able to keep both monitors on. The concept of a primary monitor on wayland doesn’t exist, and my games always choose the wrong monitor to render on. The game will open on my primary monitor but i can only select the resolution and refreshrate of my secondary monitor in the game settings. If you have identical monitors that would probably not be an issue, but i don’t. Setting the primary xwayland display with xrandr helps for some games, but not all. The best solution for me ended up being to disable my secondary monitor when gaming.

Yeah i still use reddit alongside lemmy as well, and i started noticing that the pcmasterrace subreddit had more and more post complaining about linux users. It got so annoying that i ended up leaving the subreddit. It was kinda ironic because they kept complaining about how linux users bring up the fact that they use linux, but it seemed to me like i saw more posts of people complaining about it instead of actual linux users talking about linux lol

I never tried gentoo cause i never liked the idea of compiling everything. I only compile if i have to because i always feel like it’s a waste of time in general. I have used NixOS for the past 6 months though, but i didn’t like how many issues it gave me when updating. Now i’m back on good old void linux.
