- Why do you dual boot?
i dual boot not for the games, most games that aren't on linux are games i could miss
the main reason i dual boot is because i'm forced to it, due to my studies, and in the future, probably my work environment too, i'm studying informatics, and we basically get forced to use visual studio 2013 ultimate, SQL server and microsoft azure, also we have to use hyperV for virtualization, it's sad that we are forced to use microsoft-only products, but it's the reality

- Do you see yourself first as a gamer, then as a Linux user?
i've been a gamer for much longer than i've been a linux user, that's for sure, but it's about equal

- Are the 1000+ games on Steam and hundreds more on other sites still not enough for you to be a 100% Linux gamer?
as stated above, the amount of games is not the main issue, though i'd love to see some major MMO's and open world games available on linux, as i think that's the main area where we don't really have a great game available yet(not natively anyway)
i also usually play together with friends, and i don't really have any friends that use linux, so i use windows to play with my friends if the game is not available on linux

- As someone with a tendency towards a specific genre, do you feel the current Linux suggestion doesn't cater to your gaming needs?
mmo's and open world games

Quoting: GuestI wouldn’t recommend an IPS screen to anyone; I bought one hoping to improve the quality from my bad TN monitor, but it was much worse and I sent it back. (And I’m pretty sure it wasn’t a flaw of this particular IPS monitor; it wasn’t cheap either.)

well then there sure was something wrong with your IPS screen, IPS looks better than TN 95% of the time, i can't go back to TN because the quality always annoys me

Nvidia prime is unusable for me, it has Vsync issues, no matter the Xorg/compositing settings, on KDE with Vsync set to 'full screen repaints' it still has tearing issues, it's an issue with the nvidia driver, but nvidia blames Xorg for it apparently, but they would 'look into it'
i removed nvidia prime and replaced it with bumblebee (with primusrun), that doesn't have tearing, and doesn't force me to logout when i want to use the nvidia card

a lot of these are overpriced, only the syber, asus and alienware ones arent

the only downside to KDE is the massively slow boot speed, aside from that it isn't really slow/bloated like many people say
boot speed on KDE is a lot longer than any other DE, though plasma5 is a big improvement in this aspect

KDE gives me the least issues and is the most customizable, i've always liked it, i used xfce and cinnamon as well, but no sync to vblank...
+ i like the lancelot menu in KDE

however i've been having issues with menu items not showing when searching inside the menu and some still appear while searching when they are no longer on my system, and i can't find out why that happens
