It's better than being stuck on a version of windows that slowly drifts further away from the last security update it recived. I wonder how many companies out there don't pay for support but don't upgrade.

Your post is confusing friend. Also if you can figure out how to get heic image formats working on fedora I'd love to know. I fixed it by SSHDing into my mother's desktop and converting everything heic into jpeg from my arch instance.

I wanted her to have a good experience with Linux so I avoided Ubuntu.

I'm sorry to hear that, dual graphics can be a pain. If you feel like trying it again I'd love to recommend pop os, it should handle dual graphics out of the box. It's just something that isn't well supported thanks to Nvidia's proprietary graphics.

What ever makes you feel like the bigger man. The most annoying thing I run into are distros not supporting proprietary codecs and formats out of the box.

If that's where we're at right now I'm pretty happy with the state of Linux, especially since it's only a couple of distros that intentionally do that.

When it's family or a close friend it's worth it.

Nah, the last time this user tried Linux was probably 2005. You can get to a desktop and install proprietary drivers from the app store relatively painlessly on most distros.

I could take it or leave it. I just feel bad for my family and friends when they have issues..

On kde there's a feature where you can pass all keys to x11 apps and on hyprland you can specify which keys get globally passed to which apps and maybe all keys.

If all else fails you can create a script that uses obs sockets and runs as root to capture keys globally. They seem to be looking into a global keys portal though.

You could set certain ports to automatically mirror or set all other monitors to automatically mirror. The resolution will be the same as your primary though.

monitor=,preferred,auto,1,mirror,DP-1```

Write a script that launches a video of flying toaster screensaver before it locks.

10 bit color is supported in wlroots(sway) and hyprland, can't speak for other desktops.
