15 years Windows -> dualboot everything -> Ubuntu -> Fedora -> Ubuntu -> opensuse -> arch -> popOS -> arch -> fedora -> arch -> -> popOS -> arch -> nixos
I’m sure there’s a ton more hopping around in the middle that I can’t remember, but this is a good summary.
I did look into it around December but saw the index wasn’t playing nice with Linux. I may look back into it, as thats all thats keeping Windows installed at this point.
I typically land 10-15 more FPS on Linux but my setup is unique (custom nix flakes), plus AMD GPU and CPU.
I also saw the same increase in performance on my wifes computer, and shes on a basic Fedora setup. She has AMD and Nvidia combo.
Sadly performance seems to be tied to environment setup. Which is a good way to lockout a good amount of gamers.
I do not run roblox, though I’m sure getting it working wouldn’t be too difficult.
All of my games run better on Linux, only reason for windows now is VR.
My main games are Star Wars Battlefront 2, Star Citizen, Minecraft and Cyberpunk
Hyprland is my favorite tilling manager for Wayland. Its really easy to customize or find dotfiles. I have some if you want them.
If you want something that just works, popos-shell gnome plugin
Use [email protected] as the email anything as the password and it’ll let you setup a local account.
About 6 months since I’ve switched away from vscode. To make Helix worth it you also need to use software that compliments it.
I work in DevOps, so I don’t do a ton of programming but everything I do is via terminal. I use Kitty Terminal, ZSH with oh-my-zsh for the shell, Zellij for an emulation layer (think tiling and tab manager in kitty), nnn for in terminal file manager, and helix for editor.
I almost never leave the terminal now, except when web browsing.
I agree with this. In my opinion helix is the best code editor.
Fedoras flavor with KDE. Fedora never caused an issue for me.
I use Comic Mono and love it. Code is 100% easier on the eyes and to read.
All add-ons in regular firefox are available. Same with features. I don’t use sync, but I see the feature.
I use Mull. It’s Firefox but removes Firefox trackers and add privacy settings right into the browser.
You can get it via FDroid (I use neostore client) and it gets frequent updates.
That’s not true, I have Google Play Store with my regular gmail account logged in. I have all my usual apps installed without any issue.
Pixel 6 Pro with Graphene OS
Not sure the popularity, but here’s what are essential to me:
AnySoftKeyboard - a custom keyboard that supports layouts like workman/colemak
Simple Gallery - Fantastic gallery app
Mule - Secure version of Firefox
OneTracker - simple bullshit free parcel tracker
Xplore - dual pane file manager, been using it for over 10 years. Can’t go back to regular ones
Yubico Authenticator - Used to get OTPs off my Yubikey.
I have more essential apps, but they’d fall close or in popular.
I use Signal, Element (Matrix), built in SMS with grapheneOS, and I self host MatterMost.
I tried Threema, but getting people to move was more difficult than Signal
It seems like it would be calming. Though I feel the tub gets a bit gross for this.
Any chair recommendations for tubs? What about shower heads that work best to not drown you?
I feel the same way. I hate that Iike it and am now going to try it.
Yeah, it runs better in my experience. I want to say, it may be different depending on the hardware just like Windows.
I use prism launcher, it auto installs fabric, forge, etc for you.
