After booting in, switch to a tty, then start the de from there, so like I use plasma so I execute plasma-wayland. Check if that works, if so, then the problem lies with the login manager (sddm or gdm). If not post the error log and I will check if I can understand what’s wrong.

That truly is a shitshow

In general, I think genuinely that Linux requires a more hands on approach. But the best thing is, I solve a problem ONCE. Then I store the script to git and forget about it. The problem is done, it no longer exists.

My laptop came with win11 preinstalled… I used it like that for about 4 months. I can very confidently say installing Linux increased the battery duration of my laptop by about 20%.

Apple chastity cage to prevent me from being tempted by Linux. /s

Same here. I used to dual boot but finally moved to Linux and instead shortened my games list. Plus games that I really enjoy playing are fromsoft games,hollow knight, hades, dead cells and factorio and all of them are amazing on Linux. So sorry Billy G, no more OS level big brother for me

I have read online that Nobara/Bazzite etc have many perks, but I haven’t really tried them. The main issue of my system is that I have only 512gb of ssd storage and hence heavier distros are a no no for me.

Plus I used vanilla fedora from the get go and am not afraid to use the terminal or program something to solve any minor problems I am having.

I would recommend using vanilla fedora to first get the feel of the rpm ecosystem and if you like it,then test out the other variants.

I had a lot of the same issues you are stating until I switched over to fedora. I have an nvidia Optimus laptop and it was quite the pain until I installed fedora and used the proprietary drivers from rpm fusion. I use b9ttles and steam to run my games and I can play most of the games I want to. Even Wayland works nice. I am using the Plasma spin of Fedora 40. Hope you can find the solutions to your problems.

Protip, use Rufus to create the windows install stuck and disable all the telemetry if you want to.

Happy computing.

I did this. And it worked like a charm

I don’t tell you to not use gui. I tell you to use text editors

Absolute giga chads

IDE? Are we nazis? All you need is a text editor. Luckily vim and na o came preinstalled

I did it. Install v0.1.10 and give it a go.

I honest to god find Linux easier to use. Though it’s maybe because the most used programs on my laptop are neovim, gcc and rust compiler and Firefox . And I shit you not, Microsoft purposefully slowed down the Firefox browser I installed from their store.

Plus I like using a tiling window manager when coding, now in Linux I have 500 options. On windows I get a middle finger and a dedicated nsa/fbi agent. Whats not to hate?

It should be fairly simple to do… But I don’t have multiple monitors to test it. I am taking the day off for today, need to recharge, then I will patch that it.

Well there is a simple answer to it. I didn’t know about it.

The project looks quite cool though.

That’s the beauty of FOSS. You can do whatever the hell you want to your system. Fuck up the kernel if you so wish.

PS, I looked into the wiki and it is really cool, especially since it uses a proper language. I will try it some day but for now… I am totally burntout setting up eww. Maybe on my next rice I will give it a go.

Ohh eww is awesome. And don’t try to create everything from scratch, look up other people’s dot files, you will understand best practices.

If you want to take a peek … Here are my dotfiles

Just create multiple windows with different monitor ids and pass the literal to both. That should do it.

I recently coded up a dirt simple image viewer. Like it is stupidly simple.
