I'm waiting for the open razer project to support my mouse before I fully switch. I'd do it myself but I don't have the time these days.

4% on linux

Sorry but multiboxing with a compatibility layer is pure cancer, for some reason proton just keeps gobbling up resources until the clients eventually become unplayable and need to be restarted.

alt tab doesn't work for switching and also MINIMIZE ON FOCUS LOSS? fuck you linux, absolutely fuck you.

I've finally decided to make a switch to Fedora, after giving up last time due to almost nothing I needed working.

I still didn't manage to get Unity working, which I unfortunately really need, and for some reason it's also not working in a Boxes VM, but I was really surprised with Steam! Not only every game I tried so far is working great (after solving some initial trouble caused by NVIDIA card), I also managed to just run the games I have pirated directly from the Windows drive, without having to reinstall them, by simply adding the .exw to Steam.

The only issue left is to solve missing cutscenes/videos, being replaced by that "TV color test" image. Has anyone managed to solve it? I've tried installing various codeks, but it didn't help.

The only thing I'm missing is Parsec, since I was pretty used to workong remotely through wake on lab and parsec, but I suppose that's solvable down the line. Oh, and everything being Electron apps, especially since i unfortunately need O365 stack for work. But its not that bad.

So far i love it, and have already set Fedora as my default boot. Only have to switch for Unity, as of now. I'll see how long it will last.

If anyones looking for a new year resolution, go give your favorite distro a try! And if you have an NVIDIA card and even after following a random guide you get stuttering or lagging text in Electron apps, as i did, try the other repository for the drivers, thats what solved it for me.

This is why tell people who ask why I don’t use Linux, “because.”
