If you have been using Linux for +10 years, what are you using now?
Been using Linux for over a decade, and last few years Ubuntu (on desktops/laptops), plus Debian on servers, but been looking to switch to something less “Canonical”-y for a long time (since the Amazon search fiasco, pretty much).
Appreciate recommendations or just an interesting discussion about people’s experiences, there are no wrong answers.
Edit: Thanks for the lots of interesting answers and discussions. I will try a few of the suggestions in a VM.
What’s wrong with Cinnamon? I use it because we share a computer and it was the closest thing to Windows look-wise for non-linuxy family members. Interested to hear what advantages plasma has though!
I have a multi monitor setup and regularly play helldivers, war thunder, etc on an rtx card on a display with gsync
The games often have stuttering problems and behave generally unexpectedly when in full screen, and mouse capture dosent work, so 50% of the time I had to disable the monitor so it dosent go to the other screen and tab out of the game
Tried on both endeavourOS and mint, so its probably a cinnamon thing
I use it on my backup PC tho and never had a problem with normal applications, its great performance wise
Ah ok that makes sense. I believe plasma does HDR out of the box too, amongst other cool things
