Quoting: drjoms

Quoting: basedPointless launchers are convenience for the publisher, not the user

I wouldn't argue, if Windows users were affected too. But it is not the case...

Linux users who depend on proton, MUST remember, that at any time their fav game can be broken for any reason.(unless dev specifically supports proton, which I don't know how many such devs are out there)

Quite some actually. The bigger publishers wouldn't give a wet fart though. Those are mostly the ones with the launchers ;-).

But you're right of course, we can not expect support but from Valve, and they only can react and not act proactively.

Gotta' look up if they still depend on ancient gnome depends or if that was done by now (last time I looked was some releases back).

Josh had plans to do so, maybe they got around doing that by now.

I always liked Budgie. I am by now used to my new workflow in Gnome, but I still disagree with a lot of decisions made where you need extensions (as AppIndicator, which breaks every major Gnome release and makes the Desktop crash).

Raven was a blessing in Budgie, and I considered recently if I want to install it next to gnome and give it a shot again.

Only thing is they suffer from the input shortcomings in mutter as much as gnome, which makes KDE the saner choice for gaming. And all the crashes in mutter... if you asked me 15 years ago I'd have said KWin will never become stable, but is by today rock solid.

[edit] yeah, that was done it seems, no dependencies on old gnome libraries that I can see in the meson files. Nice, will certainly install it alongside Gnome now and check if I like it better.

Oh. Cool. If that actually fixes my issues with multi monitor I probably will switch back to KDE.

I am fine with Gnome now, though, input lag in windowed mode sucks (works perfectly well in fullscreen).

I'll give it a try, probably my stint with Gnome will end with F38 releasing. Will depend on if updates in discover work properly too (had strange issues there on F36.

Okay, that worked pretty neatly from my Work PC with Edge on it.

Though, I'm quite shocked that Steam still has issues with controller configurations not saving etc., it's been years...

Hmh, 1300 isn't that much actually. I wonder if there will be ones with german keyboard layouts :D.

I could never properly use XFCE for their buggy multiple monitor support (in regards of properly setting primary screens when they are the same monitor type).

Will give this one a shot, even though I am pretty happy with gnome nowdays.

I'd prefer if they fixed the primary-screen bug...

I agree. I've used Linux for 24 years now, and Ubuntu is no bad choice for new users wanting a trouble-free experience. Not my choice, but that does not matter.

I have not had a lot of issues with Fedora either, just upgraded form 36 to 37, but actually, no tooling for nvidia drivers etc. really makes it a no-choice for new linux users wanting to play games, browse the web and do their work.

I couldn't even use my desktop properly with open drivers yet having an NVidia card, and having to deal with monitor selections and really lagging graphics, if I didn't know the reason I'd have immediately uninstalled it again.
