I like Wayland just because it lets me easily use two monitors of different resolutions and refresh rates.

I used X11 for about 6 months when I first used Linux because I still had an Nvidia GTX 1080 at the time and Wayland wouldn’t even load for me then.

I did manage to get my monitor setup somewhat working on X11 through a lot of manual editing and the trade off constant screen tearing on my low hz 2nd monitor.

When I finally got an AMD card I loaded KDEs Wayland session on the same Linux install and it automatically set the max res and hz for both monitors including the new 1440p 170hz main monitor I got along with the GPU.

super rare now except for Nvidia

Which for PC gamers holds the majority of the market…

Yeah God forbid the poor still use a secure and updated OS…

KDE - We added a neat accessibility feature.

Gnome - THIS GOES AGAINST EVERYTHING WE STAND FOR AND ANYONE ASKING FOR IT SHOULD FEEL BAD!

Fuck Ai*

I think Gentoo users fall into two main camps.

Those with old and/or niche hardware requirements.

Those who like to micro manage their systems.

The guy who talked me into trying Linux years ago ended up on Gentoo after Arch ended up not being modular enough for him, He was constantly tinkering…and breaking his system.

After his free time got taken up by a job he ended up switching to Fedora.

Apparently I’m the only person on this site that knows about Notepadqq.

THIS! ended up being exactly what I need. Thank you.

I’ll update my post soon as I did run into another issue that was an easier workaround.

Sadly already tried many different versions of d3dx and other stuff listed as directx dependancies on Protontricks.

Lmao thanks. My desktop’s kinda a frankensteined mess of Windows 7 and other stuff.

If you hate flat themes you kinda end up stuck in 2010. Maybe one day I’ll learn how to make my own theme and escape it.

perhaps d3dx9 via winetricks

Sadly already tried that.

I am using a full AMD system and don’t run into driver issues with any other games but I’ll still check.

Sadly Lutris logs aren’t giving anything useful just ‘Child 29151 exited with wait status: 0’ Which is apparently a “nothing error”

And nothing on Protondb as this game never released on Steam.

I did also try setting Wine to Windows XP mode but that also didn’t help or gave me a separate memory error bug.

People still act like world governments spying on civilians is still a conspiracy theory even though it’s written into law in multiple countries at this point…

Shhhh the CLI purists haven’t figured out what icons are yet.

I mentioned it in my own comment but there’s a pretty much 1 to 1 clone of Notepad++ on Linux called Notepadqq

I reinstalled my system at somepoint and just decided to used Kate since I didn’t have NPQQ installed.

It ended up having everything I needed from NPQQ.

Fave: Kate

First: GNOME Text Editor

Future: Kate

Honourable Mention: Notepadqq used it for a after when I first switched from Windows where I used Notepad++

Least Liked: Vim

Current: Kate

Most used: Kate

For anything CLI related I use Micro.

I’m the only one in my house who owns an actual computer and doesn’t just use a smartphone for everything at this point…

You make one from ascii!

Learnt helplessness has become a real thing around the world.

I know a lot of people who could normally wrap their head around basic computing and troubleshooting in the 2000s, who now go into a near panic attack if the apps on their iPhone suddenly look different…
