From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

For me, it's Shared GPU memory.

USB support is bare bones. Always has been. Been feature requests in the core for decades.

I only miss Musicbee on Windows. I've created an offline Windows VM for that one single program.

Not much really. Maybe being able to download random exes for silly shit, but I could always spin up a VM for that.

It works fine with my AMD GPU. Good luck with NVIDIA though.

iTunes is probably the biggest, people with iDevices have a harder time with GNU/Linux

Dragging chrome tab to another screen. On windows and chrome os it works fine, i can drag a tab from one window and it becomes a separate window i can place anywhere.

On Linux, as soon as i move the tab, the new window is created but I'm no longer dragging it. It annoys me greatly because i often want to move tab to the other half of the screen, or another screen and i can't do it in one motion.

Firefox and mint - not a problem I've been aware of.

Tax software solutions with my state included. I can't use the EZ online file options.

BBEdit.

It makes every other GUI text editor look like a joke.

When I switched, about 23 years ago, I missed Moray - the modeller for POVRay. Now I miss nothing.

The only time I've used windows was in school computer labs where they taught us how to use paint in windows xp and few other dumb shit.

So I don't know what I'm missing but looks like nothing important

Man, I just want Foundry VTT to work on my second monitor, it used to work but all the distros that moved over to Wayland DEs exclusively mean that I can't use the thing I want and have the laptop do it's one job of displaying foundry on my table TV. I guess what I really want is for Nvidia so put out better Wayland drivers.

Isn't Foundry just a website? What's stopping you from putting a browser window on your second monitor?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I think the module I'm using, which could be Kingmaker or any number of other modules, might be gpu accelerated. Idk why exactly, but having the view for my players on the second monitor while mine is on the main causes it to dramatically slow down and freeze within a minute or so, to the point where the browser window doesn't click and drag. All I really know is that it works on xorg and not on Wayland, and no distro that runs well in this accursed laptop is stable (endeavor OS turned off my Nvidia drivers in an update and ran everything through the amd apu) or comes with an xorg version of the DE (Fedora Bazzite also doesn't have this, but at least it works otherwise). I transitioned to a purely online game at that time for other reasons, but I was looking longingly at how Windows users don't have to put up with that bullshit, or at least not nearly as much.
