Not trying to start an argument, just curious on your perspective. What makes gnome seem like windows? I really can’t see it myself. For me KDE Neon feels pretty much the same as windows 10 but with more control and customization. Gnome feels kinda more like Android - everything hidden and big ol icons and doesn’t use the whole nested window configuration system
It just seemed to me like the most familiar looking at the preview screenshots on the download page. This and the fact that cinnamon is the most supported by Mint out of the 3.
I had a rough time getting mo2 to work properly. Mods were installed but didn’t modify the game. And it would vary with launches. Sometimes it would work. Sometimes not.
Did you try pacstall? I think I did pacstall -I steamtinkerlaunch-git I had major problems getting yad working too but pacstall did all the work for me !
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… 😂
KDE Plasma xorg. I use discord streaming quite a bit with friends so Wayland isn’t an option and I’m not using a third party discord client since that’s against discord ToS.
KDE Plasma is great!
Feel free to keep on trucking with your setup. I’ve been using a different solution for discord streaming and wanted to share in case it sounds helpful for you. It’s been an improvement for me. Your mileage may vary.

Do not use your main account, make another one only for streaming with audio. Works with x11 and Wayland has more features. It’s a slight annoyance to have to connect to a discord chat with a second account but this works really well for streaming. TOS is sustained with main account and you actually get working audio/video streaming with a second account that won’t get banned (been doing this for years) but even if it does it won’t matter because it’s only used for streaming.
Just another option, feel free to disregard if it’s not right for you.
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.
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.
Xfce might be the choice here, since most of benefits of Wayland won’t really apply to this machine (from an end user perspective) and it is relatively lightweight.
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.
