Awesome move. Welcome to Linux. Mint is a great daily driver. It just works. And when something goes wrong, you have the ability to poke around and see in detail what is happening, and fix it with the help of the excellent Linux community.
Not to mention the clear advantage of Linux not spying on you or serving you ads.
Enjoy your new OS!
Completely agree. Never once did I think "I wish I was on Windows" since I've been using Mint
So I've been using Linux for close to 6 months now and I do have to admit I miss how easy it was to set up VR on PC. I don't think there even is a virtual desktop application for Linux. I tried alvr but I guess something about my network didn't allow the vr goggles to communicate with my PC. But even if that worked, it would still be a matter of luck whether the VR mods I would like to use actually work on Linux. Like I'm sure it would be a hassle to get content manager for assetto corsa to run properly. So I've been considering just putting windows on a small ssd that I can use for VR.
That does seem to be most people's solution at this point, VR is unfortunately not working well on Linux.
That's because the two major VR ecosystems are run by companies that are the antithesis of open source.
Yeah, maybe Valve will start putting more work into it, but until then I'll just be happy with my 2-d life
Fair enough. I can't recommend VR enough though. It's crazy how immersive it is
Thank you I will!
Do you have any recommendations for RDP?
Right now I run a bunch of windows boxes at home and it's super nice to be able to VPN to home and then RDP into them, the responsiveness is really solid.
I haven't really found a comparable setup with Linux, I tried VNC but the sluggishness was real. I also tried RustDesk, but there were some weird shortcut key issues randomly.
Have you tried Remmina? I use it almost every day for my work machine. Works pretty well.
I think I found it by opening the software center and typing in rdp
@AlecSadler NoMachine works great on Mint/Ubuntu. It's free and the only intuitive RDP out there I've found so far.
If you wanna go a bit overkill, moonlight + sunshine has one of the lowest latencies out there
No sorry, maybe someone else has some suggestions.
