545.29.02 makes Wayland far more usable with an Nvidia card. We finally have Nightlight support in Gnome.

It's not complicated though. It's just different than windows. It's also not an issue with Linux. Thunar just doesn't behave the way you want it to. Files in GNOME works fine, but wildcards don't require a * to search.

I've used Linux exclusively at home for the last 10 years. We deploy Windows where I work. This is not normal. Despite my disdain for Microsoft, the setup process on Windows is straight forward and easy. It's one of the things Microsoft gets right.

This idea of OS superiority is pointless. Every major OS has things it does better than the others. We should look at those things to improve Linux in areas where it lags behind.

Shure SM7B with a dbx 286s preamp going out to a Focusrite Scarlett Solo USB Audio Interface.

Brother printers and CUPs just work. It really doesn't get much easier.

Seriously. Once Gnome Night Light works right in it, I'll switch. Until then, I'm in X at night. Redshift is not a suitable replacement.

Snap is not fully open source. It's slower than flatpak, it's centralized to Canonical's servers.Flatpaks so not update by default where snaps do, so if a feature breaking update is released and you haven't disabled automatic updates, you're screwed with snap. Flatpak does not need admin privileges where snaps do.

Not gonna lie. I have 5 monitors and forget the workspaces exist. It would make life so much easier if I started using the.

I'm running Arch with dual Nvidia cards. It's nice to have a distro that actually updates it's Nvidia driver on a regular basis without having to manually do it and breaking things. Any rolling release should work just fine.
