NVK is great overall, for gaming eeeeh, no, sadly. I think it’s getting improvements for vulkan gaming

But 555 beta is already much better than 550 on wayland

There was no sync at all in the last drivers, now we have good sync, it should be nice smooth experience once everything updates

Reading 100% feels better, seeing tiny icons/logos without it being a pixelated mess is also good, and video looks much crisper, same goes for videogames, and the performance hit from 1080 to 1440 isn’t bad at all.

Some will use the built in note editor, some the built in music player, some the built in video player, and now some will use matrix

Mint isn’t overly bloated, or even “bloated”, these apps are useful for a decent part of the demographic, and having them preinstalled lowers the friction a new user feels when installing a new OS

Gnome isn’t bad, at all. The team has caused controversy and made mistakes, but gnome’s experience is great.

Talking about ubuntu, snaps suck, and it is more “bloated” than what you’d expect, but still, ubuntu isn’t half bad. Is mint better for what the ubuntu audience wants? Yes. Does ubuntu still work well? Yes

And ubuntu server rocks

Ubuntu 100%, if you count how many distros are ubuntu based (and collaterally debian based), but I believe it is the most used one even if you only count official ubuntu releases

Maybe arch would be quite high, if you count the steamdeck as desktop (maybe), and the big increase on arch users in the past couple of years (wen’t from being rare to 1 in 3 users saying “I use arch btw”)

Fedora 40 with kde plasma 6 dropped a day or two ago, and they did remove x11, you have to get it from the repo in case you want it, otherwise, it only comes and is planned for wayland, which I believe is great, for once it does seem like the year of wayland

Your work app may be electron based (which is a bit too common nowadays), and until they update to electron 29, wayland won’t probably work.

(or until they add xwayland video bridge, but the former option is better than the latter.

I don’t know how you messed that up, usually the switch is as easy as it can be, and the issue comes when using it, for its lack of explicit sync, causing apps to flicker, and frame pacing in games to be plain bad

This is being fixed in the next two months thankfully

Edit: Taking about Nvidia wayland support here, AMD and Intel are great

Too much, just, too much

It turns off in you install linux

Great success

I’m not a fan of him, nor a twitter user, but as far as free speech is concerned, that should mean your opinion is not censored, but the platform doesn’t have to be free to use, but if it doesn’t discriminate opinions, and everyone is allowed to make an account, and everyone has to pay the same

That’s equal treatment, and isn’t going against free speech.

I hope github “enshitifies” to bankruptcy

Let’s use codeberg :))

Oh no, how will I get spyware into my pc then? What a shame

Is explicit sync a good enough solution to make wayland gaming with nvidia a reality(+ remove window flickering like some people claim it will)? It’s the last obstacle I find now trying to move my main pc to linux, and I don’t really want to use x11.

Pd. Lesson learned, next time I’ll get an AMD gpu.

This may actually push users into thinking about modding discord, or even better, switching to matrix

Good move discord, I like it

Been thinking about buying a similar setup, and you just pushed me into buying a “Chinabox”

Let’s see how this goes, if It explodes you owe me a beer, and a pair of hands, and another chinabox (I’m not a quitter)

I’ve needed something like this for a while, thank you buddy

Wow, thank you, I’m really new to this, I’ll edit the comment, and do that from now on :)
