How sensitive do you set the gyro? Are you primarily aiming/looking around with gyro and only using trackpad to sweep or move to a general location like with flick stick? Or is it more like 80% moving around with trackpad and fine aiming with gyro?

Looks awesome! What do you like about xfce that brings you back? I’m currently using arch with gnome

No. I really hope a few million users move over to lemmy and make it a bigger platform. I want to see more diverse content more frequently. I don't need infinite content like on Reddit but I don't want to see the same posts days in a row.

Dang hearing this realllly makes me want to switch to an AMD GPU. I recently got a 3080 and have been happy with it on xorg but feel like I'm just waiting forever for nvidia to maybe implement the entire feature set needed for wayland. Feels bad because gaming, screen recording and streaming feels great on it with xorg but want to use wayland.

I'm excited to see if the artifacting issues when gaming that I was experiencing on earlier versions of the nvidia driver are resolved now. My biggest issue with wayland (it's minor but annoying) is that when I lock the screen on gnome the monitor backlight stays on. The screen goes to sleep but then the monitor backlight kicks on and I can see the cursor and a black background. This doesn't happen in xorg and I haven't been able to pinpoint what the issue is.

The work around is to manually turn off the monitors when using wayland but annoying as it's a basic feature and should just work.

I wasn't able to get Battle Bit running on my Arch install either. I am able to run Apex though so probably an issue with Battle Bit. It doesn't really have Linux support since they are switching to FaceIt soon

If you're just getting started I think it's totally fine to test the waters with a dual boot. A lot of games work great on Linux now even unsupported games like League of Legends and Blizzard games via Lutris or Bottles.

Another option I didn't see anyone recommend is doing a QEMU KVM GPU passthrough. So you would boot up the VM for gaming in windows and pass your gpu through. It's a bit of work to get running stable / performant but then you don't have to restart your machine every time you want to game or run Windows only software. The downside is games like Valorant and Genshin Impact won't work in a VM.

I don't think I could ever give up GUI completely. I would not be able to work without GUI tools for coding, making presentations, editing documents, etc. I don't want to memorize terminal commands for things that are easier / quicker to get done with a GUI. Also, what about gaming?
