takes no time at all to change. my computer is more stable, runs faster and less system strain. things actually work like hdr, and sound management. no more PS4 controller becoming my computer’s speakers because I plugged it in and the os thinking it knows best. no more weird green tint because I turned hdr on. there’s a plethora of things that just work but wouldnt in windows.
after using Linux for about a week now… I honestly can’t think of a reason why I didn’t do this years ago. microsoft is just bad
I’m being the numbers are pumped up by Deck users who aren’t really using Linux for desktop use.
The extra 20% they knocked off a couple months ago probably helped boost those numbers too
Offtop, but did you make speakers and/or headphone jack on your controller work over BT in Linux? When mine (albeit a PS4 knock-off gamepad) is wirelessly connected, it’s not shown in audio devices at all.
have not, didn’t even try tbh. I don’t want audio coming from my controller. id prefer of the thing didn’t even have a speaker or mic jack on it, but thankfully Linux is smart enough to know I’m capable of managing my own devices.
For me it was like: well, since it is here and it’s paid for, where’s this damn thing? I see a thin usecase of playing from the couch with wired headphones at night.
Seems like it’s proprietary drivers use speakers when it shouldn’t, and doesn’t use when I could’ve used them. Two shots, all missed.
I’m part of these stats thanks to Lemmy, thanks guys!
I shifted my desktop this past month, happy to be part of the extra fractions of a % point.
Ubuntu 25.10 finally seems to have resolved a lot of the issues I’ve had in the past, so I think this shift will be permanent.
Daily Debian since 2015, zero regrets.
