Vanilla gnome isn't for me so I used to install some extensions when I used it.

After a few hopping, I stopped using Gnome, because I find that painful to :

• install the extension app (the one that allow you to download and manage the extensions, and that is usually not the one installed, it might have changed, as I stopped using Gnome for a year or even more)
• install the extensions I want
• configure the extensions

On KDE, I just have to set it as I need it.

If you do not change distributions everyday, then it's not a big issue I guess.

But it might be troublesome for beginners trying distributions that have vanilla-close gnome to know that extensions exist. My needs are not complicated, so I only used extensions that allow me to have a dock on both of my screens, and to have the minimize button.

Go to settings;

type "build number " in the search bar;

click on the build number until you're a dev.

Go into developer options;

type "background process limit";

Choose the maximum number of applications you want to have in background.

Profit

What an horror ! What are you gonna do ? Use your working system ? That's sad...

It will create a default profile in your home (games/heroic/Prefixes) where everything will be installed, and if you have steam installed, it will detect the proton version of steam, and use it.

If some dependencies of the game are not installed, you'll be able to run winetricks and install it in the profile of the game or to use steam runtime.

Using Windows-only games on Linux is getting better at an impressive rate those last years. There is more and more games working out of the box with steam or heroic. But yeah, sometimes, you just have to give up (or use Windows ).

Try the heroic game launcher. It usually works well. It let you log into gog, epic and prime account and games easily.

If the game doesn't run well, try your luck on protondb to see if there is a way to fix it : https://www.protondb.com/app/22380

I've install the gog version of fallout 1 with the heroic game launcher, it worked out of the box. Maybe you'll have some luck with new Vegas.

Linux has been the biggest rabbit hole I've been in. There are too many distribution for me to choose one without testing as much as I can. It made me change what I wanted/needed. I went from "I don't want to use CLI at all" to "man, GUI is too slow for that".

I tried many Debian children and grand children distributions, Fedora based ones (Nobara, atomics bases,...), Opensuse, NixOS, Solus, arch based distributions...

Now, I'm on cachyOS, that seems to be the good balance I need (for now), between GUI/already configured and "I can do it the way I want".

One year after starting using Linux, I've switched from a 3060ti to a 6700xt, just because it made hopping easier.

If you exclude me not being able to settle down on a distro, Linux is a funny experience to me. My needs are not that big, as I just play some games, have a light need of an office suite. I can do anything I used to to in windows, but without Microsoft and his friends looking above my shoulder.

I guess there is an option to activate to read DRM content (it exists on librewolf, not sure if it is there on Firefox too). it is activated ?

KDE : it's the only DE where I can have 2 identical panels (app pined+ full system tray) on each of my 2 screens without installing extensions.

KDE can do what I want without having to look for extensions. Breeze theme is good enough for me, I don't need to look for something else. So far it's the best out of the box experience I had.

I prefer Gnome look, but I distr'hop too often to have the courage to setup the desktop every time.

That's great !

R and T should have a different android base, so, It would be safer to wipe everything while upgrading.

They advert for a support between 8 and 10 years (at least 5 major version of Android, and security patches after that). I don't know their politic about the availability of the repair parts, but if it's for the same amount of time, I'll be happy.

I changed the battery and the usb port of my OP7 last year... the oneplus site didn't sell them anymore, I had to go on aliexpress to have both ... That's quite frustrating for a device that is 5 years old...
