I didnβt think Linux had enough ads and wasnβt commercialized enough but then I tried Ubuntu.

Calling Linux's version of DVR a "viable video editor" is rich given that a. It doesn't work on most distros (it's designed for Rocky Linux. It throws a fit on any other distro. You need to jerry-rig it), requiring a whole thang to get it to play nice; and that b. It doesn't support any of the video formats and codecs people actually want to use, for seemingly no reason, since the Windows version supports those formats just fine.
KDENLiVe is like, fine for a simple project, but you quickly start hitting your head on its limitations. Plus its UI sucks just in general.
Video editing is the reason I keep a small Windows install, because sometimes I need to do video stuff for work and -- Sorry. No. No Linux video editor even compares to the likes of Premiere and Vegas. They're still barely above Windows Movie Maker.
GIMP is a perfectly serviceable image editor, and yes, GIMP 3 is a major improvement -- But it's kinda missing a lot of things Photoshop users take for granted, and its UI and hotkeys are very idiosyncratic, which makes migrating very hard (... I sorta have the opposite problem though. I learned image editing on GIMP and all my muscle memory is GIMP oriented, so even when I'm on my 'time to work' windows install, I only really open PS if I desperately need one of its exclusive functions)
Can you use HDR in KDE? Only desktop Can you use HDR in game? Only with gamescope with dozen flags Can you use native wayland in proton? No unless you go through complex hoops.
"Finished" isn't worth a jack shit if it doesn't work out of the box
Proton in Wayland works well in Ubuntu out of the box. I don't think it matters if it is native or an X11 compatibility layer, since the games I played ran better than they did in Windows 7.
I have been using hdr in kde for a few weeks now. I recently got a Dell oled monitor, and it has been working surprisingly well out of the box with hdr on plasma. I'm on Nobara btw
"Finished" is a relative concept that dependa on an individuals needs and wants. I don't care about HDR. I've been able to play every game I want virtually without a hassle for more than a decade. Wayland is nice but ultimately I don't care.
Linux has been finished for me since some time between 2011-2014.

gimp 3.0 still at release candidate, tho. Isn't that like advanced beta?

Where Gimp 3?
Can't wait for Wayland to be ready in cinnamon. Possibly mean that literally as X is a laggy mess with fractional scaling. Maybe fedora with gnome will be my first distro hop.

Hah. I just saw this on the back of some other guy berating me for complaining that Steam exploded when trying to get it to acknowledge Steam libraries on NTFS drives. I'll stop complaining the moment my stuff works.
But hey, I hear my HDR monitors are supposed to have stopped artifacting out on the latest Nvidia drivers I installed last week, so if I ever get Steam to work again maybe I can give that another try and see if I can scratch that one from my routine.
Meh, never mind me. I'm just cranky from all the troubleshooting. I really thought I had this down semi-permanently a couple weeks ago.
I'm really trying to remember what I did, but I got steam playing ball with my NTFS drives without issue...
Both on steamdeck using an SD card formatted to NTFS, and on a manjaro/windows dual boot with an NTFS shared drive...
Genuinely don't remember how I did it... I want to say something to do with symlinks...
I assume you've come across and tried this: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/Using-a-NTFS-disk-with-Linux-and-Windows

Maybe don't use proprietary Microsoft formats on other operating systems
Ah, here we go again.
Gotta keep Windows for work reasons, I'm not rebooting every time I want to play a game and there are terabytes of stuff in there I'm not duplicating.
So yeah, I'm going to use whatever format works on both (which at this point is MS's option, I'd take a good ext4 implementation on Windows, too).
And, you know, if that isn't an option then maybe Linux isn't ready? Maybe that cue card had stuff written on both sides, eh?
Seriously, what's with the Linux community defaulting to "oh, you tried to do this officially supported thing on Linux? You idiot". If I'm not supposed to use NTFS on Linux maybe don't include a driver for it that mounts all my Windows drives out of the box. In the meantime I'll continue my entirely unreasonable expectation that built-in features of the OS actually work.
For the record, it is Steam that's borked. The NTFS driver just randomly sets the dirty flag on the drives and forces me to manually clean them up every now and then. I could live with that if it was the only issue.

Discord wayland sharing where? I'm using vencord but games still stop moving.
Using spectacle and vencord (or element for matrix) works fine for me on plasma, although element has a much lower bitrate sadly
Also had issues with discord a few days ago. Trying to share anything (monitor, program) crashed discord
For me it constantly keeps requesting sharing permission and I need to close discord to get rid of it.

HDR is almost there not quite though.
Dolby Atmos is the other thing I'd love to see working
Plain 9.1 surround works fine with pipewire, and you can pretty easily hack together a virtual surround for stereo headphones that works pretty great. Iβm even using a preset that claims to be atmos, although that seems unlikely to me lol

Don't worry guys, we'll never have VR
I can't tell if this is flippant?? steamvr works great for what I've used it for (mostly beat saber and taskmaster VR). using Nobara 40 rn
Did you get audio working? I could never get sound out of the headset.

It's just not competitive with the quality of support on Windows. It's bad enough, comparatively, that if you're a heavy VR user it's worth keeping a Windows install just for that use. There was a long post on /r/linuxgaming a few weeks back rolling up all the issues into one post, I'll try to find it. One of the best comments in the post was by a top-ranked Beatsaber player actually; he said that latency among other things was the reason he has kept dual booting -- only using Windows for VR gaming. I know that I just gave up on playing Elite: Dangerous in VR successfully because I didn't want to fuss with dual booting.
ahhh yeah I'm not good at beat saber at all, I just think it's fun. it's easy for my smooth brain to just be happy that vr works at all π€£
Yeah not sure of their setup, but I had a big list of mandatory things that needed to work before I erased my windows partitions. VR was one of them. More specifically VR full room and VR sitting with my HOTAS and wheel setups. Everything game related works perfectly. Some VR applications I haven't gotten working or found replacements for like Virtual Desktop. (If anyone has any suggestions, that'd be amazing.)
But long story short, VR works and it works well. I've played on both an Nvidia 3090 and an AMD 7900 XTX. I'm using Ubuntu 24.10 with Gnome Wayland.
On occasion it complains about gnome not supporting vr. I just reboot and it works fine.
