I use Fedora Kinoite and I do a mix of Distrobox + layered packages for normal use. For development porpuses I prefer a Distrobox container with its own Home directory and it works nice.

A few years ago I got 5 of my millennial friends to move from FB Messenger to Telegram and it took some peer pressure from me and essentially one hangout where we were all together, and moved in one go. Telegram is not perfect but overall it’s much better than being on FB messenger.

My two main reasons that I prefer KDE of GNOME are:

• I grew up with Windows so I’m used to its layout and with KDE I can achieve something very similar rather easily.
• VRR on Wayland is built into KDE, and works as expected.

I mainly use my PC for gaming and for me VRR is a must, so it’s nice that it’s built into KDE Wayland already.

Regarding your bluetooth issues on your 8bitdo, I had an issue with my 8bitdo pro 2 where on linux there was a higher input delay vs Windows. I then updated the controller firmware and that fixed it. Works great on linux now.

Maybe try updating the controller’s firmware, if you haven’t yet anyway.

Regarding dual booting, I do dual boot, sometimes I like using windows, others i like using linux. It’s nice to have the flexibility. Ideally i would like to switch to linux one day, but there are still a few small issues, at least on KDE wayland.

One option is what I currently use, a docker image of Qbittorrent with support for OpenVPN: https://hub.docker.com/r/markusmcnugen/qbittorrentvpn

If you can get OpenVPN config files from CyberGhost then it should be straightforward to set up.

At least on Windows 11, there’s an option called like “Optimizations for Fullscreen games” where you can have screen tearing on borderless windowed games that are not DX12. Performance wise, OP would want to turn on this option if they have it available.

Whoa, thanks for sharing this. It looks great!

They’re going closed source and windows only when there’s already an official client from Apple coming to Windows? That’s strange, and unfortunate.

Yes. I run VS Code in an Ubuntu distrobox, with the electron wayland flags. Works real nice. KDE Wayland btw.

I’m pretty sure it’s wayland because on KDE wayland, with 200% scaling, when the cursor is over an xwayland window, it looks blurry. This doesn’t happen on wayland windows. Also for some reason electron and chromium based apps run at 60 fps on wayland, while xwayland apps run at 144 fps as it should, and my VS Code in the Distrobox with the wayland flags also runs at 60 fps. Weird KDE stuff.
