I’m using Manjaro. Firefox is the distro’s default browser.

For me, VRR is crucial as I play a lot of FPS games or else, I don’t feel that the mouse is the extension of my hand. That’s why I switched from Gnome to KDE.

In KDE, I agree. I have an AMD video card and I’ve been gaming in KDE Wayland for quite a while now.

Yup, this is huge. Wayland gaming is now a possibility. With Explicit Sync (needed for NVIDIA users) and VRR, there’s now no excuse to keep gaming in X11 in both DEs.

Nonsense. This is huge, as I suspect many people, like myself, switched to KDE because it was the DE that was perfect for gaming in Wayland.

So this is huge for the community! Gaming is now possible in two of the most popular and used DEs.

As for the weather application. Don’t blame GNOME, blame the weather provider (OpenWeather).

I agree. Lemmy is not Twitter like, it is Reddit like, it is a forum.

I think we are now in a positive cycle:

• More and more useful comments are posted,
• Which means more people get interested,
• which attracts more and more people to the platform
• That increases the quality and quantity of posts/comments/etc.
• etc.

OP said he didn’t want to waste his time. Arch is not like Ubuntu. It requires you to RTFM (and Arch documentation is excellent) and know what you are doing and be willing to learn from your mistakes. That takes time and dedication. I went with what OP said.

I love to deal with problems but I don’t want to waste my time.

Then Arch is not for you. The distro requires you to always be informed of the latest news regarding Arch before upgrading so you’ll probably have to admin your system.

If you’re not ready to do that then you should probably stay with Fedora.

My suggestion: run arch in a virtual machine and get familiar with it before installing it.

Are you talking about ext4 or BTRFS?

I disagree. My partition is ext4, but Timeshift saved my ass when an upgrade went wrong. I just had to restore the system from a previous snapshot taken before the upgrade.

In my opinion, it depends. If a distro has BTRFS configured to automatically take a snapshot when upgrading (like OpenSuse Tumbleweed), then BTRFS.

If not, for a beginner, ext4 + timeshift to take snapshots of your system in case an upgrade goes wrong will be fine.

They will need to stay the course and not be tempted with huge Microsoft savings Microsoft will give them just like what happened with Munich: https://www.zdnet.com/article/linux-not-windows-why-munich-is-shifting-back-from-microsoft-to-open-source-again/

Which DE are you using? I’m using KDE.

For NVIDIA users, that’s the right answer. For AMD users, it’s already ready. No problems here (6700xt)

No, flathub has the latest version (0.95), as you can see on the project’s Github page (0.95): https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases

I had numerous problems with Wayland when I had an NVIDIA video card. Since I switched to an AMD video card, it has been a blissful experience. Wayland now works perfectly.
