I swallowed my pride and switched to (K)Ubuntu

I am too tired to configure everything and do hacky workarounds to get a good experience with my computer.
Snaps are a pain but they're much better these days.
On Debian I literally had to compile Mesa 23.3 (Mesa 24 wouldn't compile) in order to have good performance in DXVK games. I basically had to make a runtime to get it to work.

    At least you picked the right flavor.

      GNOME is usable, that's it. It's nowhere near as good as KDE however.
      For example, I have some old native Linux games which don't show their icons when launched properly. On KDE, I can fix that and have them use proper icons. On GNOME, I have no idea how you would do that.

        New versions of Ubuntu come with Gnome Extensions that let you turn on tray icons.

      I prefer KDE. Cinnamon isn't bad, but I need proper Wayland support for video games (there's an Intel bug which makes all Vulkan games crash on Xorg).
      I don't really like snaps, but at the moment I'm only using Firefox and Chromium, though theoretically I could just use Debian sid's repositories for Chromium and Firefox.

    Should've gone with Fedora Kinoite. It's the flagship "just works" Linux desktop. Since it's immutable, it literally cannot break.

    You still need to replace the Firefox snap with the official deb. And you need to install Flatpak + Discover integration. But after that it is better than Mint, yes.

    should've gone for lubuntu and configured it with the breeze gtk theme, I'm on Debian testing and LXQt with Breeze theming is peak, it's basically KDE lite, especially since Debian bundles LXQt with xfwm4.

    Snaps will always be terrible and absolutely wasteful. A crime against humanity.

    You switched at the worst time OP. Next LTS will use flutter (bloat and slow) for the installer UI.
    I'm officially distro hopping when ubuntu 24 drops.
