Bro, I rage at Ubuntu. Literally. Kinda unhappy when at work and using my Kubuntu.

(But unhappiest with Windows)

At home, 4 Devices use Arch Linux and I am the happiest person on earth with them. I love knowing how I set them up and how to fix something when broken.

I reinstalled Windoes 4 times because it somehow broke, while I still kept my Arch Linux through over 4 years.

(Generally, I dont tinker much with Arch Linux and generally was a Person who spent a lot of time with a Girlfriend. I read that wife, kids and etc was a point. Thus, I am mentioning how satisfied I am not only with my OS but life too. I also love my work, I just ignore that Ubuntu breaks sometimes. But generally, I wished I would be hsing Arch on my work)

Not really, they sued a group of students because they forked it.

So, no, not really.

I got some of your points. But Nvidia can be plug and play when choosing the right distro. AMD was always plug and play so I really dont know what issue you had or what distro. Not every Linux is simple.

Arch (EndavoueOS for user friendliness), NixOS or Gentoo dont really uninstall things you just needed. But I had this issue on Debian based distros. When removing one package, its important dependencies can be wiped too, deleting wifi and other important packages. It even says that but I dont like to read a wall of text. I hate debian for this but I would not argue against "Linux" as an entirety.

I tried to setup a very similar setup on Windows on my work experience and dragging windows with super button was possible with AutoHotKey, but was super Buggy. Rainmeter has many weird issues and stop working after updates, and may even force you to reinstall your Windows as a friend mentioned. Transparent Taskbar app was the same experience. What wasnt possible at all was super+right-click to resize the windows. So my workflow was not possible at all on Windows. Thats where Gnome and KDE are golden. Especiall with widgets and extensions enhancing your desktop experience further where I would need to deeply search and hack around in Windows.

Regdist was sometimes needed to be manually configured depending on what you wanted to do with your Desktop. So there is no install thing. But when something provides and needs the regedit, then it happens behind the scenes on the installer of the app, so you downplay the actuall issue and desire to change your desktop in an weird way.

In terms of Compilation. Thats where Arch Linux and many other distros are satisfying, community scripts with a push of a button (AUR). Combine this with Pamac or some other store and you literally have a push button to install complex things. I never compile things myself but just install the things through AUR and let the job be done.

I see that you have had harsh issues with Linux because you either didn't knew its alternatives or didnt understand the issues. I tend to rather have solvable issues on Linux than not understandable magic solutions that sometimes dont work on Windows. And you cant gain knowledge of the issue or solution as everything needs to be hidden and magic on purpose.

Linux is literally better on the Desktop Experience because you can decide how you work and how things should behave. Impossible for Windows except you hack yourself your C# dotnet application that controls your Desktop over the Windows API as mostly thats the only way for Windows. On Linux... you can choose your path. You can choose your Desktop, Distro, whatever. Things become easier and easier over time. But as an only consumer, I guess only Operating Systems like SteamOS are ideal. But many people show how they can live easier with Linux Mint or EndavourOS than Windows. Not everyone's experience.

And I already mentioned why I dislike Windows. Once you have control over your workflow, you will want to have it everywhere. Unfortunately, Windows wants to be a one size fits all OS and doesn't let you change much unlike Linux Desktops.

Doesnt matter how and what you did. At the very end you didnt buy a steam deck oled cheaper.

The thing I experienced on my laptop was: I used on Linux Max Performance while on windows I let it be the default (balanced or smth I think). The result: my Laptop hit way too often 100°C when playing games that my CPU throttled to 800mhz. It was a quick fix by just using balanced instead so it can decide for itself when to cool a tiny bit to not throttle, like windows.

There are multiple tools to set the Intel Power Management Profile to "Balanced" instead of "Performance"

  1. I switched to AMD because nvidia worked like dogshit on Linux. Especially when I needed Wayland.

  2. I really dunno

  3. FSR is the replacement. But RTX would be slower on AMD but still good enough for some people.

We had the topic of creating a comment and a blog. The main topic for it was "Gaming" to make it more interesting for pupils. Its at a vocational school. Our teacher just picked the Blizzard topic and we learned multiple weeks how to do this with blizzard and then had an Exam on this. Its interesting that woman were molested there and we also compared this with german IT workplaces where Woman are pretty much happy at IT workplaces but there also is not much of them. We want more woman at IT places and also learned how IT was actually more of a Female job because carying for Kids and Homeoffice was a perfect combination.

I stopped playing this game after they added EAC and did not enable Linux users

Well, I only allowed Open Source software on my phone. Because the reddit website is pretty unusable compared to lemmy, I can't use reddit anywhere excrpt PC and just switched to lemmy. But I also use Jerbora Open Source app.
