        Why are people ratioing this purely subjective take? I’ve had builds that didn’t get along with various peripherals. That’s like a super common refrain from people with a great many distros.

          Heck, that can even happen with Windows.

          My Logitech F710 never worked right with Windows because the driver’s power saving feature doesn’t mesh well with Windows 10’s power saving feature, causing dropped inputs. No such problems under Linux.

          Not everything works everywhere. People are used to how things don’t work with Windows and learning how things don’t work differently with a Linux distro is annoying because you learn by running into problems. If you have people to switch over and have a good time you have to help than through this.

        I have so many questions, but it’s ok if you dont want or can’t answer them. why doesn’t omnissa work in wayland? X11-only apps are still supposed to work (because of a compatibility layer xwayland), and I take advantage of that all the time with multiple apps. and why don’t your monitors work? hdmi/dp/dvi are all very basic things that should just work, regardless of using X11 or not

          The app didn’t seem to respect the environment variable for X11 I tried to set for that one app.

          I have an odd monitor configuration, one 2k high refresh rate, HDR monitor in the center, 1080p monitors to the left, right, and above. The right is also a higher refresh rate.

          I could get it to work in Ubuntu… inconsistently. Sometimes I’d log in and have one 640x480 monitor in the center. PopOS just worked.
