  • I started using linux with dual boot in June 2024 where I installed Fedora/Fedora immutable kde and bazzite.
    Tried GNOME on my brother’s old Laptop but using Extensions for changing one thing(and breaking every update) was annoying I have been using Fedora till I stumbled across CachyOS I switched to Cinnamon around this time from KDE I found kde kinda Buggy (heard it’s Nvidia or smth) and it just felt uncomfortable Around December 2024 Where I used Linux full time (no windows dual boot) this is when I found Cachyos (or arch variants) and Cinnamon comfortable the only problem is that Cinnamon doesn’t have Vrr,HDR and Wayland for me but I use Gamescope if I need vrr and HDR

    • Heroic Games Launcher
    • Prism Launcher
    • latest Java lts (either from adoptium or openjdk i dont care about flashy new features)
    • Libreoffice Still (similar to the second reason above and onlyoffice in appimage due to Libreoffice weird handling with ppsx files and powerpoints)
    • QEMU/KVM with virt manager
    • Gnome evolution (if it’s gtk desktop I could opt for other email clients)
    • Proton-GE
    • WINE
    • Ghostty(Kinda sucks it’s based on libadwaita and gnome forces this theme on you no matter your desktop)
    • Fish/ZSH(fish not having posix compatibility is kinda annoying)
    • MPV (I could still use vlc but I prefer mpv because it can stream youtube links)
