Walop<p>Since my aging desktop PC is nagging about end of Windows 10 support, I decided to check Linux again after many years since the last time. I ended up going with EndeavourOS. And got hit immediately with scaling issues. I have a setup that requires 150-200% scaling to have a change to read any text even with perfect sight. And setting the scale on display settings did nothing. Closing and reopening the settings window fixed it. Fixing task bar required forcing plasmashell to restart. But that didn't fix the title bar even on new windows. Or affect the cursor size. Changing the cursor size on settings lead it to have different size depending if it's on top of a previously opened window, newly opened window or desktop wallpaper. The only thing that seemed to play nice and respond immediately with the display scaling was Firefox.</p><p>I have intermittenly used Linux previously and really would like to, but there have always been these small but really important and annoying things that have driven me back to Windows. (And previously gaming, but that seems to have gotten a lot better recently).</p><p>Also I really do like the RTX Video Super Resolution and RTX HDR on video that my GPU supports and those I think are available only on Windows drivers.</p><p><a href="https://sauna.social/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a> <a href="https://sauna.social/tags/endeavouros" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>endeavouros</span></a></p>

ScotsBear 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿<p>In limbo a bit with my Linux plans.

The only one I can find is 2Gb and I need 8Gb for CachyOS's Live USB. I've got a new one coming today with the new backup SSD.

But in that case the team making Antergos broke up and the project died, which was an awful loss because it was one of the most advanced and user-friendly distros of the era. I used the abandoned corpse for a while longer but when that broke my heart broke with it and I slunk dejectedly back to Windows. A community-run project arose from the ashes and became EndeavourOS, which you may have heard of.

For a "regular" user that these distros are "catered" to? will almost certainly lead to breaking the system in some way.<br><br>This should be a bit better now thanks to </span><a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Flatpak" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Flatpak</a>/<a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Flathub" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Flathub</a>, but I'm still seeing people needing to do shit like download random scripts off of <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/GitHub" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GitHub</a> just to get something like <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/DavinciResolve" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DavinciResolve</a> installed and running. On an Arch-like distro, the only setup really I've done on all machines is to install <code>yay</code> which can be used in place of <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/pacman" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pacman</a> (Arch's default package manager), Flatpak, and <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/KDE" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KDE</a>'s app store frontend, <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Discover" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Discover</a>. In 99% of cases, I can install/update the Flatpak of an app, if not, it'd either be available on Arch's repos or the <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/AUR" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AUR</a> (which comes with <code>yay</code><span> right out of the box) - all through the GUI.<br><br>Everything else from that point has been a breeze - and this is despite using an </span><a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/NVIDIA" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NVIDIA</a> GPU on at least 2 systems, mine esp with a much more complicated setup including multi-monitors, multi-capture cards/devices, professional audio equipment, touchpad, etc. None of us have ever encountered any Arch/distro related issues since we first started daily driving EndeavourOS - some minor issues that prop up here and there (rarely) have only been issues that face all Linux users like the transition to <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Wayland" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wayland</a><span> and so on.<br><br>Again, this is not a rec - I'd still recommend users looking to migrate from </span><a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Windows" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Windows</a> to maybe try some of the more "mainstream" distros like <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/LinuxMint" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LinuxMint</a> (+1 bonus tho if it comes with official <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/KDEPlasma" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KDEPlasma</a> support) since they should theoretically be more "stable" as a non-rolling release distro, but if that's not working out, something like EndeavourOS could be an option.</p>
