    Smooth mouse input, especially when using high-DPI mice, is something that's been fixed in GNOME 42 due to release soon. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1915…

    Quit calling it anti user. Am I not a user, or I do not count as much as other Linux users because I like GNOME? There is absolutely nothing wrong in a DE wanting to go their own w…

    I'm on 4K at 2x scaling.

    Weird, I'm not seeing it, not even with a GPU heavy game being rendered in a window.

    I haven't got a single Wayland seg fault since I moved back to Linux in October 2021. Not one.

    Manjaro isn't known for its stability. The Linux desktop would have a better reputation if people first tried the big name distros instead of small derivatives.

    Fedora 36 releasing next month will ship with Wayland enabled by default for NVIDIA as well.

    Forget Ubuntu and their old software, Fedora GNOME is where its at, finally a forward facing distro for workstations and professionals. I highly recommend giving it a shot. Fedora …

    I play the latest games on my high-end GPU I sold a kidney for, watch 4K movies, use a Sony DS4 gamepad via Bluetooth, with two 4K monitors at 200% scaling and an external USB audi…

    The "good" releases are good relatively to the crap ones they've succeeded, not on their own. As if they wanted to pay for QA only every other release.

    I'd argue that Proton is better than native Linux support in the long term, hear me out. Linux userspace API has no promise of long term compatibility, and in fact there's a lot of…

    Fair enough, I stand corrected. Still, I wanted to point out that it's a company, not a government agency. Publicly traded or private doesn't change my point.
