    I need to connect to my work machine with RDP and I tried using Remmina. Sometimes it works fine, but sometimes the special key stop working( ctrls + s will type s instead of saving) Also there are visual glitches on a second monitor. I had to switch back to windows.

    Can anyone recommend a different RDP client?

    Only thing are my files, that are pretty tricky to transfer securely while maintaining compatibility (i dualboot)

    Tax perp software was the only thing I needed it for in the last year. I haven't converted my gaming PC to Linux yet, but I don't anticipate an issue.

    For me it's Nvidia tech, VR, and HDR, even if they're technically supported, they're much more of a hassle than on Windows.

    I have a decent list of software I need it for unfortunately so I'm keeping my best PC on Windows, but I have four PCs in the house. I've been running Linux on one of them for a couple years but the other two will be moved over by Windows 10 EOL.

    I keep a windows LTSC install around purely for Escape from Tarkov. Everything else I play works great on Linux.

    I side-loaded Mint for a couple hours just to goof around, and then . . . never booted Windows again, quite literally forgot it was installed three days later

    [–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

    Sounds just like my last dual boot setup, as well.

    I believe I said "I'll just boot back to Windows next time I want to play...this game...that just launched and played perfectly under Proton...or...this other game...which also works...huh..."

    I'm going to give you the secret to switching. Go all AMD for your build, and leave everything you know about Windows software and how it works at the door. Learn to use Linux. Expecting it and Linux software to work like Windows is the pitfall.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

    To be fair. In my experience, everything mostly does work like in windows. But I always think it's like attributing Windows switching to Linux as Mac to Windows.

    Mac users are used to not dealing with the registry, lusrmgr, local group policies in the same way Windows users aren't used to dealing with fstab, grub, proton, wine, various desktop environment tweaks.

    Fan control. MSI after burner. Nvidia drivers.

    Windows 10 gaming desktop

    Mint laptop

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Fancontrol-gui, corectl, yeah nvidia drivers still suck but are improving.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

    Yea and I just got gifted a 2080ti, so I'm gonna stick with windows on my stationary desktop. However my laptop does use Mint and that's my daily driver.

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

    I did it as long as gaming kept me there. Now I can play pretty much anything on my Linux machine. Forza fucked up. But whatever. It's a not a game to die for.
