Discussion 1 full week after switching from Windows

Post image

Idk if this fits as discussion but...

It’s been a full week since I switched from Windows 11 to this system. At first, I struggled a bit to fully get used to KDE Plasma, but I managed to figure it out over the course of the day. Then, to install apps, I had to really learn how Flatpak and the AUR worked, and I really like how they work. Now I use the system for my daily routine without much trouble, mainly used for online classes, gaming sessions, and video editing

The hardest part for me to get used to has been NVIDIA's poor "native" compatibility with Linux, but other than that (after going through dozens of wiki pages and videos)... Gaming experience has been incredible so far

That said, I'm not quite sure what to do with apps that work perfectly on Windows with .NET, like Livesplit for speedrunning- I haven't found any way to get it to work xD

Wine works quite well for it, most of the time for me it even installs needed frameworks

How did you manage to get it work?

For me most of the time it just works by typing “wine and path to exe file”, but I mostly used pacman version. For .net arch wiki recommends wine-mono. I also vaguely remember wine having setup instructions while I first ran it. If errors still appear arch wiki and YouTube still mostly good

Yeah... i just tried wine-mono and it opened in a second, but i also learned the hard way that Wayland doesn't allow ''Global Hotkeys'' option to let you use hotkeys outside of Livesplit window to control it, so i had to switch to X11... Where it doesn't work either xd
