Is there life on Linux?

Question

linux

Good afternoon toasters.
Not sracha for the sake of, not holivar.
But tell us your experience of using Linux and tell me the way, or call me a hand-me-down (but to the point, with arguments and solutions).
I had experience with all (well, or almost) popular distros (Ubuntu (and its derivatives), debian, arch, sus, manjaro, mint, elementary, deepin and much more, which I already forgot).
And also on different machines:

1. Working laptop i5+950m 16gb
   
2. Home rig / Game rig: ryzen 2700x + 1070ti 16gb.
   

I also consider it necessary to tell that I have some experience in setting up servers (mainly CentOs, Ubuntu Server). I don’t know how it is on Windows, but on Linux in terminal mode there are no problems at all, everything works as expected.
Outcome:

• Sometimes something doesn’t start (Hello, 2018-19, but I didn’t get wifi on a laptop on a pair
  of distros), the video card driver on a pair of distros is not installed the first time, forcing me to
  reinstall the distro, because this is often easier than restoring opensource.
  
• on 9/10 distros I have just a terrible fps (hello unit (thank you for leaving us finally) with
  its beautiful (no) application menu) with good (in the case of a PC - excellent) characteristics.
  
• It pissed me off when the layout was buggy on some distributions, sometimes just
  switching from 3 times.
  
• Another rage is when you turn off the car normally and the next time you start chrome
  it's like "huh? what tabs? You crashed me. Restore?
  
• Working at 100% graphics card fan even with the bumblebee installed, and configured to
  maximize the use of the integrated graphics card.
  
• Window tearing (on the open source driver most often it is not there, but there is poor performance in the
  browser, just put the proprietary one - hello tearing (rarely it disappeared according to the manuals)).
  
• Periodic environment crash after sleep - in almost all distras.
  

And much more, which I can’t even remember because of the prescription of years (last time I tried in January).
My usual user case: chrome + phpshtorm, skype, bitrix24 (if available for this distro), thunderbird (+ a couple of messengers and a couple of other browsers) and postmen, I put another thing for the bottom dock bar (I forgot what it's called, it's been gone for a long time sat under Linux).
Therefore, I had a reasonable question: I don’t know how to cook or Linux really works fine only on servers.
It's just embarrassing that a bunch of people scold Windows and praise the penguin, but when you yourself try to sit down for Linux, then a crutch on a crutch drives a crutch.
And I would like to get off Gates 's needle of approval, it's not even about surveillance, I have nothing to hide.
Rather, since I am a programmer, I am for open source and for the transparency of the system. (Well, and also constant updates that require you to reboot HERE RIGHT NOW, (And also hello to the built-in Skype, which does not work as it should and is installed after deletion on the first reboot).

Answer 1

get off the needle of windows approval, sit down on linux

Answer 2

There is. Usually they are on servers.

Answer 3

Linux GUI doesn't have as long a history as Windows, and it's not about the desktop, icons, or tabs. The fact is that the windows API for writing applications is the same for all versions of Windows, while Linux can have many different graphic libraries, and there is no single standard for all distributions.
As a result, many applications work the way they once did under DOS - they are looking for their own set of libraries with which to go into the GUI.
If you have a stable set of software that you can customize and that's enough for you - go to Linux. If not, Windows is a normal system, stable.
I love Linux on a server and a virtual machine, and on a desktop, and even for toys - it might be easier to wait for a full-fledged SteamOS (based on Linux).

Answer 4

Life on Linux just blossomed about six months ago with the release of DXVK. I have a laptop with Gentoo i5 4200M 740M 4GB, all games on directx 10 and 11 run fine. Although I don’t play often myself, the ability to normally at minimum wages (due to hardware) in GTA 5 is undoubtedly pleasing. And so I'm worth KDE 5 with a theme for dark transparency-blur + Latte - as a result, I get a kind of macos twist, but, from my point of view, it's much more convenient. By the way, don't mess around with bamblebee, it's better to do everything according to the manual with ArchLinux + set nvidia-drm.modeset=1 in the kernel boot parameters, and tearing completely disappears. As one YouTube video said, "Linux is the same".

Answer 5

Intel's integrated graphics are best supported on Linux. Not bad with AMD graphics support, worse with NVIDIA, everything is bad with hybrid graphics.
Tearing already forgot when he last watched (I have Intel graphics)
Wi-Fi support is well provided in conjunction with modules from Qualcomm Atheros and Intel, worse with Realtek and MediaTek, even worse with Broadcom.
Never had a problem with the keyboard layout.

Answer 6

Judging by your words, there is no life for you. More precisely, there is, but it does not suit you, and there is nothing bad about it.
Almost any distro requires finishing one way or another, and sometimes some hardware can cause pain and suffering - for example, on my laptop wifi broadcom BCM43142 to which there is no more or less stable driver.
Therefore, someone is ready to put up with the inconvenience and spend time on finishing, but someone is not.
Usually, the OS is a tool for solving problems (playing games is also a task, just a home task), and not a means of implementing "support for spherical open source in a vacuum", And since some tasks are difficult to solve on Links, but easy on Windows, and vice versa. The tasks are yours and the choice is also yours.

Answer 7

Try Fedora Nvidia from the turnip nonfree 1050 normas comes with sneakers in general fire, vpny what you want out of the box everything you could click - I press everything works, I forgot how to climb into the terminal, only work (servers, ansibles, etc.)

Answer 8

There is life on Linux. If this is a server :)
On duty, you have to work with RHEL-like distros. I don’t know how it is with guys, but if you don’t disdain the console, then consider something from this family, Fedora is best. I have long disliked Ubuntu with Debian (I'm talking about the server, keep your slippers), although I was an adherent of the desktop bubuntu. Don't pay attention to stories about Fedora not being very stable - they're lying. It is updated frequently, which in my opinion is good, all new features and technologies are always at hand, and even the distribution kit is being developed by a large company that provides Enterprise solutions. Yes, and Old Man Torvalds obviously chooses this distribution kit for home use for a reason :)

Answer 9

There is life! But to each his own.
I have been living on the line for 11 years (ubuntu, then mint). Although I do not get off Windows - there are tasks for it.
But for many tench is contraindicated.
I don’t have super-duper complex requirements and tasks for the line. I don't play games, I'm not a programmer, I'm not an experimenter.
Conclusion. Everyone has their own requirements, their own curvature of the hands. That's why life on the line has its own - good or bad

Answer 10

but when you yourself try to sit down for Linux, then the crutch on the crutch drives the crutch

Because you have initially unsuccessful hardware (the same laptop with two video cards). If you initially choose hardware for which there are no problems with drivers, then the transition process is simplified. And then continue to check the hardware for compatibility with upgrades before buying - not a problem. On nvidia desktops, on laptops - built-in from Intel and there have been no problems with video drivers and the picture for many years, and this scheme is unlikely to change in the future.
Actually, most of the problems you listed are just a video, I answered this. About the layout and chrome - these are already some specific features, there is nothing to answer in the abstract except "I have no such problems".
