99% depends on your budget too. I have a 7900XTX and it has been smooth on wayland

Oh, makes sense. It thought Valve would already be working with some manufacurers based on this interview from November
Shame that all these companies choose win11 over SteamOS
Same here. this is upsetting :/ Back to firefox I guess
Going to ask here, anyone know a music player that is similar to AIMP? It has no native support, unfortunately.
I got a reply to this one, for anyone else wondering:
“Yes, it is on the TODO list and we will eventually support it. But it’s not a very high priority.”

Still haven’t found an answer if it will support the wayland screen-tearing protocol for fullscreen applications (games mainly), does anyone know?
Looking great though, looking forward to it next year!
it works on KDE Plasma, you just have to enable it in the settings.
No. I mean allowing screen tearing or disabling vertical sync. It adds input delay which makes competitive shooters feel unresponsive and thus making aiming difficult. For example on GNOME Wayland shooters feel significantly worse than on X11/KDE on Wayland (with tearing allowed)
it all makes sense now! solved.
I am also dual booting because of game compability and Virtual Reality support.
I think once wine-wayland gets fully merged we will see a clear uplift in performance, at least on wayland.
This very much.
The reason I switched was the forced updates that kept slowing down my computer when I needed the juice and network. Also there was a constant pressure to “upgrade” to win11.
OP, If you don’t have many major grievances with windows, it might not be worth switching. Nothing stopping you from taking a look in case you might like it. I have enjoyed my experience so far, despite some small issues.
Nobara on my desktop, Pop_os! on my laptop. As soon as the new COSMIC DE is ready I will switch to Pop on my desktop as well.
Seems pretty okay. I managed to get League of legends/TFT running perfectly fine (though the launcher is a bit stuttery)
CSGO I noticed runs WAY smoother on Linux. Maybe becausw it uses Vulkan which is a lot more modern than dx9. But the aim just feels… smoother despite the same FPS?
edit: on Nobara and a AMD GPU
I’ve been able to ban whole instances with Connect for Lemmy and hide nsfw. Made the browsing a lot more enjoyable
Adding to this, don’t use Norton or any other anti-virus provided VPN.
Mullvad works great and has an app.
NordVPN works also great. I use KDE and there was a plugin to manage NordVPN from the task bar.
