SWITCH TO LINUX
Where did you get this picture of me?
...I mean.... if you -STILL- want to use Windows (and only) Windows at current date, Year of Gaben 2023? Then you either need a reality check or to stop being -THAT- lazy.
2022 and 2023 I made multiple decent attempts to go Linux and I've finally ragequit back to Windows where things finally just work. Currently using WSL for my Linux needs.
So many frustrating hours.
- Unresolvable sound issues
- Multi monitor issues
- Size scaling issues
- Couldn't get my games working even for Gold rated proton games
- Don't think I ever got nvidia drivers working correctly
- Really struggled on some distros to find the correct packages for some things because they were named differently?
- Couldn't find how to set a desktop background that filled my entire screen in Gnome. It kept repeating to fill the screen instead of just "zooming"
- Got 100% CPU usage in KDE just doing nothing
- Didn't even want to start figuring how to run my Windows-only apps because by that time I was a bundle of stress and just wanted to use my pc without fighting it every step
Conclusion for me: Windows is best DE, so use Windows+WSL
I'm a bit sad about it because I'm getting more and more frustrated with Windows 11 direction. It seems each update brings a new configuration or "feature" that makes things more difficult for me.
I do feel I am being pushed out of Windows.
For about the last 10 years I try going Linux roughly every 3 years. So I'll give it another shot in a couple of years.
I fully understand for some people it just works. But it is not yet my personal Year Of Linux Desktop

Real competitors compete, let me know when Linux breaks 3% market share.

Clearly software isn't the problem, it's me.
