I use XFCE mainly because I’m running older hardware. But I really do like it. I have been wanting to try out window managers but have just been too lazy… 😂
Until two months ago I was using gnome Xorg to play my games. Then I bought a second monitor for my games station and I had to switch to plasma Wayland to still use the freesync. So now I’m using kde plasma to play , but I still prefer gnome, and probably switch over again after they implement the vrr patch for wayland.
Yes, the first part of the config file reads as follows: “{“account_tracker_service_last_update”:“13334489856807897”,“alternate_error_pages”:{“backup”:true},“announcement_notification_service_first_run_time”:“13334506503682677”,“autocomplete”:{“retention_policy_last_version”:108},“browser”:{“has_seen_welcome_page”:false,“window_placement_popup”:{“bottom”:429,“fullscreen”:false,“left”:4,“maximized”:false,“right”:696,“top”:28,“work_area_bottom”:1170,“work_area_left”:0,“work_area_right”:1920,“work_area_top”:0}},”
I’ve tried changing the window size fields to other values but this seems to make absolutely no difference at all. Alt+Enter has the same effect as I have previously described.
The game appears to be programmed using javascript.
I just stick to Gnome to avoid problems in gaming specifically, but obviously Plasma works great as well on Steam Deck.
You could give LXQT a shot, which should be QT-compatible, and maybe require less fussing with if you do run into an issue. Xfce or Mate might be options as well, but not as lightweight.
I use mostly KDE plasma, especially for gaming, but sometimes switch to Hyprland for online Pen and Paper, since i prefer the automated tiling when opening tons of documents
Whatever comes with mint? I had a hard drive die, and my buddy hooked me up when I realized I couldn’t read the windows key on the sticker any more. He was going to do some kind of fuckery to let me keep 7 despite that, but he’d been talking about Linux for a few years, so I asked what he thought about that.
He asked me a few questions, about what kind of programs I need to use, and when none of them were a pain in the ass for an idiot like me to deal with, he set it up for me. Told me it was mint, helped me set things up where they look nice and made sure I have what I need. Haven’t fucked with anything since, and that was about two years ago.
KDE on my desktop, GNOME on my laptop. I like both, but I like to tinker more on my desktop, where I have good internet and can do a bunch of downloading and customization comfortably at my desk. With my laptop I want it to just work (and I hate KDE’s defaults) so I use a mostly vanilla GNOME. Also has good trackpad integration so that’s a bonus as well.
I did have a heavily kitted out Arch with XFCE on my laptop before, but I reinstalled my OS because something broke and it wouldn’t boot and I couldn’t be bothered to troubleshoot and just wanted a working laptop lol so I installed Endeavour with GNOME and have been happy
