Thought I’d create a distinct thread from the previous one asking about daily use, because I really do want to hear more on people’s pain points. Great to know people are generally sounding pretty positive in those posts who recently switched, but want to know your difficulties as well! This way old and new users can share their thoughts, hopefully to inspire a respectful discussion.
After building my new machine. I swapped from Windows to Bazzite, then now CachyOS. It’s been pretty smooth.
My current things are:
Ring timeouts on my 9070xt. I feel like I’ve tried everything. Seems like this is an issue with directX 12, swapping to 11 works for the most part.
Wayland shenanigans. I want to use PTT in discord. If I use the x11 environmental, it works, but that then means I can’t PTT when using my browser. Using the git that everyone recommends works globally, but seems to be adding Ctrl or alt to my press after starting a game, which breaks my in game keybinds. For now it’s the env fix and swapping to voice activation if talking while browsing.
Hyprland stuff including keybinds to open on my other monitor when my first monitor has a full screen app. I can launch the apps and set full screen properties via window rules, but need to toggle full screen in order for it to work the way I expect. Oh and then there is also the problem with the wallpaper swapping forcing my workspace back to 1, even if I am on another workspace using an app.
Most other stuff has been nice. I don’t miss Windows in the slightest. These are just the last few bits to bother me and are by no means show stoppers.
