yesterday i pressed tab to autocomplete in file explorer. didnt work. then i tried to split the view so i had a way to move files without cluttering my desktop. somehow didnt work on windows. dolphin(after getting used to it coming from windows) is loads better

kde plasma has it enabled by default. just drag your windows using shift. also press super + t to enter the editing mode

on my fedora pc i actually Had to use xpadneo to get my xbox (Elite 2) controller working via bluetooth. before i did that, it would connect and show up in buetooth but wouldnt work and not be recognized by steam. but keep in mind i did this on a pc with fedora and not a deck so it might not work

i am using nvidia and wayland on kde and I am experiencing no problems except those I also had in xorg(ui elements sometimes become unresponsive after playing a game)

i have a rtx3080ti and am using KDE plasma 5 wayland on Fedora 38(now 39) exclusively for gaming. i made the switch to wayland a month or so ago and i am having a considerably smoother experience than x11. especially with multiple monitors and flatpack apps like discord in the mix.(steam is running native though). no issues that i am aware of so far

if you are using docker/podman you can use e.g traefik reverse proxy.

if you don’t use docker you Have to move those Services behind an apache/nginx/haproxy reverse proxy.

I’m curious. why?

I would recommend what looks most promising/fun to you.

personally I am staying with the “big ones”. on my gaming pc I have installed fedora with kde. on my notebook(with touchscreen) I am trying Debian with gnome and eventually arch when I am clear on how I want my system to be exactly

for work and network stuff I use debian with kde.

If you are unsure I’d recommend either debian or fedora with kde. Ubuntu isn’t really something for me because snap is really annoying (apt installs sometimes default to snap but don’t tell you outright)

which is ok. the cool thing about switching to linux is that you don’t have to take risks(e.g. buy an expensive os/hardware) so you can try it out, switch back, wait a bit and try again. I did that and last year was the year of the linux Desktop for me (also thanks to the steam deck)
