i'm using wayland, seems to have been the default

From what I read on their homepage, RPM Fusion just provides non-free software that Fedora/RH don't usually want to ship themselves, it's just precompiled RPMs for all available Fedora versions. Sounds to me like it should be the same, my currently installed nvidia driver version is 555.58.02 but I have no idea if that correlates to the version of 'nvidia software' app. Ugh every issue is just a pandora box of 10 other problems jumping out and strangling you

edit: Seems to have something to do with wayland/xorg? https://old.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/zxvrxk/nvidia_x_server_settings/ I have no idea what are the implications of this though

First of all, thanks for the suggestion! I am a bit confused though because my NVIDIA settings doesn't have nearly as many options as that one:

Do I have something incorrectly installed? I followed the instructions from the linked resource to install the rpm fusion nvidia drivers since they aren't available on fedora 40 on the store even with the 3rd party repositories enabled

Is this something like the overseerr but for phones?

It's been a while since I used ubuntu and popOS was only for a few days so maybe I was just mistaken, I remember it being somewhat comparable to a classic desktop at the time but it could have been that cosmic shell thing. And tbh until so far I thought cinnamon is gnome so it seems like I was just outright wrong about that one, thanks for clarifying

I'm definitely willing to try bazzite's gnome3 for a while, i just wasn't sure what's the default anymore and if it's bazzite doing something out of the norm or if the ubuntu based distros did.

tl;dr KB+M and no touchpad here so that might have something to do with it, I prefer more compact and colorful UIs, and different behavior between LMB and RMB.

I'm not a big fan of the Nautilus file manager, all the rows seem too big and too padded. There is no compact mode and from what I've read changing the default file manager is a big no-no in linux since the OS depends on it (and I did try to install Dolphin just to compare but the theme was unusable with bazzite). I can't even pin other drives to the left navigation pane, only folders? The monochromatic theme is neat but just makes it more difficult to tell things apart, gimme some color please yellow folders.

I know the no desktop decision is "since they always get cluttered anyways", but making me use a folder instead will just force me to use a cluttered folder instead, or more likely keep stuff in Downloads. At least with the desktop I can visually arrange it.

I miss the taskbar for switching apps. I do agree pressing the win/command button is neat and practical but sometimes I just want to switch to a different app on my second monitor using mouse only (or see notifications from it) without moving my keyboard hand.

Then it's the small things - I did install the clipboard manager gnome extension (because copyq doesn't work with wayland apparently) but it always opens it in a corner, not on my mouse location.

Systray - left and right mouse buttons do the same thing and doubleclicking does nothing? For example to open the steam window from it I always have to click it, go down to library and click again, this is the default behavior of RMB in other OSes and here it's the only behavior.

Minimizing something and then immediately alt-tabbing doesn't bring that window back up, some focus issue? Two monitors issue? Dunno but annoying.

How will manually retyping git pull or checkout 30+ times a day, or using the terminal log instead of a nice GUI with VSCode integration, teach me to solve other complicated issues? I just don't really see the benefit of struggling for most of the time for something that might or might not happen later

I'll give it a try, thanks. Maybe I was just messing around with domains too much, could be that part is more strictly defined here compared to win

I wonder what kind of support for development do you get? Honestly I've only had obstacles when I switched, for example the docker installation was much more complicated on linux than on windows+wsl. Even installing python was problematic because apparently 'upgrading it yourself can brick the system', at least if an older version comes with the OS?

And lastly it's the simple thing that pretty much all tools work on windows natively but on linux you have to find workarounds, which is definitely a problem when it comes to productivity.

So what are the benefits, what does linux have that windows doesn't in this context?

Thank you very much for such a detailed answer! This is exactly the type of stuff I wanted to learn in advance from some generalist tutorial because honestly, I feel bad constantly asking such basic questions and there's no guarantee there will always be someone like you to answer them. In retrospect it's probably the smarter and simpler option to just google the command docs online, I just wanted to do it "right" since I heard all the praise about man command and you never know if you're working offline.

I'll check out nala, could be a good learning tool, thanks!

I have this instinct drilled into me for years that anything using reflection is bad, both in terms of performance or code clarity/ease of debugging. Your answer is correct though, I could make a generic method using reflection... now I'm just not sure if it's better to just manually hardcode the cases for all types anyway

I'm stuck on one of these intricacies now! I saw some of the ideas on how other people did it but i honestly have no clue what i did wrong. Got any tricky examples to share?
