Linux Desktop feeling extra good today, my sound often doesn't work but I don't have to deal with Microsoft nonsense.

Pipewire has made all of my audio issues on Linux go away, at this point. Maybe it's my hardware (a high-end Dell Latitude that is Ubuntu certified) but it just f*cking works!

I'm on Arch, so I find I tend to have fewer issues than with Ubuntu (due to the latter always being on some ancient version). Seriously though when I switched from Pulse to Pipewire... I rebooted and I've never had any issues since!

Now, my biggest complaints are around i3 and X11. I get some flickering, and display management is a little painful. But those are largely self-imposed because of i3. I haven't tried switching to Wayland yet because it's good enough for me.

At this point, it's been years since I've used a Windows PC for work and... I'm so damn happy about it!

Switched to wayland today because nvidia drivers were killing performance when I plugged my 4k monitor into my laptop. Barely usable under X, fixed under wayland. Also wayland was able to independently scale the 4k monitor and the laptop monitor, which was nice. Found a couple niggles but so far what I need is working. (Using KDE.)

Worth a try.
