Windows games used to run better on wine 15 years ago and Windows bloat/telemetry has only gotten worse since then.

It is more impressive when you realize that those games were meant for Windows and require a translation layer (Wine and DXVK).

Yes but Microsoft Teams runs like dogshit on my Linux laptop. Checkmate atheists.

😭😭😭 Sadly, Microsoft Teams runs like dogshit everywhere

I was using Teams on Firefox and I've been thinking that FF is the problem that Teams's working horribly, but man, it works horrible on chromium as well

But have you tried Outlook (NEW) and Teams (NEW)?? Microsoft made changes to deeply integrate copilot into them, while making the UI unintelligible and broken as well. It's a much more authentic Windows experience

Linux desktop compositors are still behind windows. Until my weird setup works just as well I can't switch without being annoyed. HDR 4k120hz and 1080p360hz both gysnc. Always seem to have issues with vrr in Linux and multi monitor. And HDR support is strange

I'm glad I'm one of those people who can't seem to percieve any difference above 60Hz

Having low standards is pretty convenient

[–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago

I believe everyone can, it just takes practice and is only relevant for 120hz games. Or VR.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 13 hours ago

I can notice things like mouse movement being smoother at high refresh rates, but it's totally not a deal breaker. 60hz is more than good enough for everyday use.

Games run faster with LMDE6 than they did with Windows 10 on my 5800X3D/7900XTX PC.
