Fractional scaling isn’t available and neither is per-monitor refresh rate. Windows drag at a different refresh rate than the monitor and it is jarring. Additionally everything is really small on my big monitor. As soon as Wayland support is added I’m going to install mint, but for now I just can’t stand those downsides.

Mint is so nice! I would really like to use it but I just can’t deal with using xorg as I have multiple monitors and they are different sizes.
Well you said on a k6-3 which I thought was kubernetes, am I wrong?
Enlighten me on running LFS in kubernetes. What are you doing and why? I’ve never heard of this.

Jumper775@lemmy.worldto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Why are there so few open source weather apps for iOS, compared to the very many that are on Android?14·2 years agoI’ve done some limited research, and it should be possible to build from anything if you don’t use any apple specific cpu features or frameworks etc. that being said, that will be a pretty bad experience so I assume these services require a Mac for that reason. I could be wrong about react native though, only found one questionable source that said you could.
Jumper775@lemmy.worldto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Why are there so few open source weather apps for iOS, compared to the very many that are on Android?11·2 years agoI don’t know, never used it. Just know that it exists and can do that.
Jumper775@lemmy.worldto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Why are there so few open source weather apps for iOS, compared to the very many that are on Android?34·2 years agoNot completely true. The best by far is xcode, but swift is open source so if you develop your own toolkit instead of SwiftUI and replace all other proprietary *Kit then any old computer can do it. You can also use (usually cross platform) frameworks which have already done all of this like react native which makes it really easy to do in other OSes, however you will still only get the best experience using native libraries which can only be built from Xcode on a Mac. Maybe darling will open the doors to running that on Linux one day though!

Office 365 won’t work. If you need that specific piece of software, give up and stay on windows. It can however be replaced with libreoffice or OpenOffice. If these work for you, you’re in luck because just about everything supports them. Software design is better on Linux than windows imo, and most if not all of your tools will be available. As for gaming from steam your set. Proton can run just about any game you throw at it. Teams has a Linux client that works, and afaik there is also a web client. Virtual machines are better than on windows by a mile. If you need virtual box it does exist and work, there is however virtual machine manager which is even more powerful and just plain better. Uplay games are a bit trickier, you can use a program called bottles to run the launcher and play your games there, but if you need/want any per-game tweaks you can’t do that. Epic is easy, heroic games launcher is an almost fully-featured epic games launcher replacement with proper wine integration.
For distribution, I have to recommend you steer clear of manjaro. They have had numerous security problems in the past few years, some having been repeated showing they aren’t learning from their mistakes. Additionally it lets you use the aur but that can easily break your system. It’s a poorly managed distribution that I can’t recommend. Ubuntu as well has made some anti-user moves like forcing their tech on users rather than adopting the standards everyone else has. Mint try’s to correct this, and it does a good job. I can recommend mint, however it is fairly slow to get updates and hence is gonna be bad for gaming.
What I recommend is gonna be nobara or fedora. Fedora is a bit trickier to use because the setup and configuration will probably require the command line, however once it’s running it’s really stable and has a lot of newer software so everything you have is up to date. Nobara adds some gaming tweaks on top of that and is a little slow to update major versions, but it has a graphical way to configure probably everything you need and has some qol patches for things like vrr that others don’t have. Additionally as you mentioned you are in IT I think this will be a good fit as the server software that you will interact with is most likely gonna be rhel as it’s the most popular enterprise Linux. It is based upon fedora, so you will be able to interact with it easier should you ever need to.
Works on Linux (gnome)
Jumper775@lemmy.worldto 3DPrinting@lemmy.world•I somehow got addicted to making phone cases for friends and family since I successfully printed TPU the first time.English0·2 years agoWord of warning, 3d printed cases are a bad idea. The plastics don’t actually absorb the impact like a real case would, and so they break often and don’t actually absorb the impact and protect your phone. Every time I’ve used one I’ve ended up with damage.

Hyperland is Wayland. X won’t work. You can however install wslg if you have a supported windows version, which uses Wayland and hence a hyperland session could be run. Keep in mind that you can’t replace the windows DE, so hyperland likely won’t run as well as you hope it will.
Those are both subcategories of work. You still work in either, it’s just in one case you get everything but you must do everything and in the other case you don’t get what you worked for but you instead get luxuries from society.
