Why should I primary Linux for Home Desktop and which one do you recommend?
  • If you care about your privacy and you are a kind of IT guy, then never ever just watch into wireshark while using windows. I was so fucking scared about the shit running in my background while I had a really clean windows installation and a lot of services and tasks disabled. Holy moly, I could not tell if this where MS calling home or some maleware. Even a simple netstat was full of messy unneeded stuff I can‘t disable (I figured out how ti disable everything via registry, ending up having an unusable windows) Hint: I was beeing hacked on windows OS some years ago, which makes me paranoid not having any chances on windows to check if some unwanted programm uses your PC and sending data over the ethernet.

    Switched to endeavourOs 1y ago and would never go back. Runs 10 times faster, can do 95% of my tasks and games without having huge workarounds, thanks to proton. I have finally the feel the OS belongs to me and I can mostly control what the hack is going on on my PC.

    What distro do you recommend for gaming?
  • I use endeavourOS with a nvidia GPU. Its basically arch - it works for me as flawless as it could with nvidia and x11 /xorg. Wayland might work but not as good as x11 - but this is another topic :D

    Fallout 4 Linux mouse lag
  • Which polling rate on your mouse are you using? I‘ve read something about a couple of months ago that 1000 hz polling rate on proton could cause mouse input lag, I don‘t know if its still present, but give it a try lowering the rate

    NVIDIA 535.86.05 Linux Driver Fixes Excessive Memory Use, Kernel Panic On Full vRAM
  • Good news, but still no more wayland support, as e.g. overclocking / undervolting options. Sad that nvidia binds these panels and CLI commands for OC/UV onto xorg options for newer cards - guess I'll stay further on x11 for now.
