I'm definitely a Linux novice, tried it on and off over the last decade and currently dual boot Mint on my laptop. I love Mint, it's been the easiest version of Linux by far.

Now the bad, DaVinci Resolve Studio just does not play nice. I know this is more of a Resolve problem, but still, it doesn't connect to my NAS efficiently. As an editor, this is a deal breaker. I hope it gets fixed in the future.

Second, it won't even see my Bluetooth keyboard, once again, probably something to do with the hardware, but it works on everything else, even Android. I also have weird issues with my wireless Xbox controller in that the trigger buttons don't register in games. Still trying to troubleshoot that.

I still try to use Mint as often as I can, but there always something that keeps me from switching fully.

Rocket League on steam proton. It was choppy on Mint. Ubuntu wasn't bad, but when I alt tabbed everything slowed down.

steam deck was a fucker to set up with some github alternative.

Lastly my hdmi to 5.1 reciever kept showing as an extra monitor, which couldnt be mirrored or disabled. That was enough to call it for me.

There's no working Linux client to turn off my stupid steelseries rgb bullshit, and they default to on every boot.

I sincerely will switch over my box once i can keep it from keeping me awake

I just wanted game use to be a bit more streamlined.

*Also, Jesus there are so many Linux instances and communities on here. I'm having to block so many so they don't clutter my feed.
