Monotonous, did not find char skill/progression interesting.

And no one gives a shit, unless said handheld can run Steam on it. And not windows too.

Quoting: ArieTheFloofP.S: This is trying to be a joke, but happy to remove if someone is offended or thinks is inappropriate.

HOW DARE YOU?! its 2023, almost [current year] - don't you know adult jokes are outlawed, because someone will always be offended?

Quoting: CyrilWhat about people who likes XFCE (like me)? :unsure::happy:
Is there anyone else in the same case?

I switch between XFCE and Gnome. I prefer XFCE. Wayland support is planned by XFCE.

I have been using XFCE for years. I switched to gnome. Wayland allows for much smoother experience in games. Much less stuttering. And that was with Xorg having HW sync enabled on VERY descent hardware.

Quoting: RenardDesMersI was shopping for a new monitor for black Friday and was debating with myself about how useful would HDR and Freesync features be since Wayland can't support those yet and I don't really know when they'll get decent support.
Hopefully the wayland folks remember about the gamers when prioritizing the missing features.

I am in a similar boat.
You can ALREADY use HDR to a degree in Linux, but largely its not practical yet.(on AMD and possibly Intel GPU you can use mpv player to watch videos in HDR)
Most Linux native don't have and probably won't have HDR. With proton its a different story. It emulates Windows environment. And does it pretty good too. I imagine within year or so we will have HDR on Gnome/KDE. Then we need HDR support in Web Browsers + more Media Players.
I don't care about whole environment HDR, I just need it in games, browsers, video players. Some will care for Blender, etc.

Quoting: WorMzyI used to use Roccat up until Stefan stopped updating roccat-tools (unofficial Linux userspace tools), I guess Roccat themselves didn't want to pick up maintaining them (or else didn't want to commit to first-party support), but I jumped ship to Corsair (using ckb-next) in 2019. Not had any complaints.

I think that Roccat mouse was first peripheral that I got myself specifically for Linux compatibility. Shame they stopped.

As someone who owned a Razer mouse(some buttons died WITHIN first year of use!) - i gotta say, stay away from it.
I am not even bitching about quality of hardware.
I am talking about software side of things.
You need to run a server application at all times to support some hardware features. And my experience was not stellar with it.
Its experience from a roughly year ago. So it was recent software I was using. Never again.
Its unacceptable.

You want something nice for Linux - check out libratbag/piper. Check what mice are supported there and get THAT mouse.

I am very happy with my second wired mouse from logitech. G502 heroe. Its amazing mouse with abundance of buttons, high resolution, a lot of customization and allows for hardware profile.
And mouse scroll changer, my god how good it is to scroll through whole pdf file of 30 pages or more with just one finger movement.

Would not touch Razer mouse again, not unless its supported by libratbag. Unless its a dumb mouse. But then, i am too spoiled by proper logitech mice that work with libratbag. And let me tell you, I deeply distrust anything and everything made in China. Burned on quality too many times. But Logitech so far has not been a major disappointment to me.
