I’m not sure what you mean with the monitor thing. I’ve got a 165hz 4K panel with adaptive frame rate and it works out of the box in KDE settings for all of it. The only issue I ran I to is when you use hidpi modes it changes the reported resolution in proton which can be fixed with super resolution I think. But it is a problem.
Ah yes. Good ol Intel drivers or NDISwrapper. I’ve had zero issues these days, but it was bullshit in the past. Though saying that I think my wifi driver building was more to enable phy mode for messing with wifi hacking. WEP was broken beyond belief.
Those who tried Linux and went back to Windows, what caused you to go back to Windows?
Additionally, what changes are necessary for you to be able to use Linux full time?
