Hey me! The band of my exitence was kwin. I have no idea why, but all of the previous issues have gone away. That is not to say I fon’t have issues, though for whatever reason xfce x11 “just works”, as if VRR was enabled. What the hell…

I guess I could ask since even in the previous post many pointed that I use Linux wrong. And here too. Maybe I’m second guessing myself, but I use terminal to update everything except flatpaks. The most things alien to me are DE configs and if I were to use X11, those too. The first issues were when I installed xwaylandbridge which made kwin spam journalctl and the other “fixes” to screen share breaking debian. After the switch to Endeavour, all of the same issues persisted, except screen share worked because of a newer c++ package (to my understanding). The only difference being that Debian had less problems overall, which is understandable since the things not working properly were from AUR.

The thing I’ve followed to the best of my knowledge was DontBreakDebian. Is there just something else that I’m not supposed to do? The issues even on Linux don’t go away by themselves, so vim and hope was required.

Now I’m too accustomed to Linux, that Windows is alien to me. While the most issues are more of a montage, each fixed one by one, I did do a “hit piece” and being smug about it.

Either wat, maybe the forest caveman route is the one for me, since technology is too much for me:'D

Oh extra fucking rant, I though the drag and drop was bad on Linux, probably because Ark just was 50/50 if it let me.

Oh boy, I now realized how much better Linux had it… Sure, there are a few cases, but dragging files from application to application just works unless it’s not developed. Right now on Windows, it actually just doesn’t work like I remembered it. This is a clean install, properly installed with their installer on another windows machine. No disable scripts or whatever used, real windows key and all…

Switching back to Linux. For good.

A continuation rant of https://lemmy.world/post/18158630 [https://lemmy.world/post/18158630] Oh my. The games I usually play work fine under Linux, and now they work equally or worse. The few Unreal games that caused me to break my Linux streak work way better under Windows, but the experience is so much worse. Spectacle screenshots always work, windows one just somehow manages to break itself, there is no fix. Every second boot it advertises Windows 11, even though I’m “ineligble”, since I have TPM disabled. No middle click paste. Applications keep going off bounds. PowerTools managed to reset twice now. Which C++ redistributable do I need to run this program? It’s not the newest one or the year before that. It’s not the one provided by the installer. It’s 2013 (in this case only)! WSL mounting is a nightmare if I want it to be read only. AMD drivers refuse to install because windows update is stuck at a “failed” security update. Tried to make a folder? Explorer.exe just crashed! Update went through finally? Just kidding, xbox app was just installed! Do you like to change individual application volume? I knew you didn’t! Install EarTrumpet! Oh, Windows store is broken by design! Then the settings. Why are they there if they just redirect to control panel? What is this shit? I’m actually just going straight back to Linux, Fedora this time because of recommendations. If Wayland on fedora still does weird glitches, I will use x11 and suffer what happens on a 3-monitor setup with one monitor having a higher refresh rate and resolution. Windows is now only for games that won’t run under it. Now… Extra question; Why does every distro need yet another package manager? Yay/pacman I get because it seems to build it. Though I don’t understand why, other than AUR. APT is so nice and easy… I hope DNF is the same.

Switching back to Windows. For now.

The amount of bullshit there is to make things work is… not that bad. When it comes to games, I just can’t. Having to reboot just to fix common FPS issues is too much. I’ve had a bunch of things that require a config change, which then has caused other issues. The state of Linux Desktop is the best it has ever been and I’ll be back the moment Wayland works better. I love Linux, but for now, it’s not working out for me… Just needed to vent, thanks for reading.
