I’m referring to the issue outlined here. Thanks for the link to that problem, I haven’t encountered it yet but I haven’t played with Wayland/KDE6 all too much yet

Changing the scaling either zooms my higher resolution display in too much or zooms the lower resolution display out too much. Maybe the scaling is the only solution though

I can change the scaling of the smaller display to fix it but then everything is too small. I’m not familiar with any other way to fix it. I’ve browsed online to no avail as well

Yeah, X does it too but I have a solution with cursr. That app unfortunately hasn’t been ported to Wayland which is why I’m looking for alternative solutions.

As the other person said, I’ve tested in Wayland in KDE

Thank you for that insight. I didn’t end up using this but as you said, this is very powerful and I’m glad I know it exists!

Thanks both for the information and the confidence. I went ahead and deleted the gnome packages and nothing seems broken so far. The dnf remove @gnome-destop didn’t work, but dnf remove gnome-* worked. I made sure all the packages being removed were ones I no longer wanted and all looks well!

I have windows and linux on different drives and windows killed my bootloader this week anyway lol

I think this is an issue in using the updated version with the graphics overhaul. You can change that in the launcher. But if you found Something that works then you rock it.

This is an awesome post. Thank you for sharing it. I really appreciated reading your comments, and I hope you’re doing well

Thanks so much for the information! I really appreciate it. I’ll see about doing that when I get home tonight

I want everything GNOME gone. Decided KDE was more my style

This makes sense. Will this nuke any config files I have set up already?

Thanks for the suggestions!

I just installed 6 months ago and I don’t feel any need or desire to do a full reinstall if I can avoid it

It’s on my list but I was not in the right head space when I started it. Currently loving animal well but I think tunic will work perfectly after I’m done with animal well!

Quick tip to add to all the other advice: if Linux give you a warning, please read it carefully. Its not windows where you can safely blow through warnings. Otherwise, use it and enjoy!

Something to keep in mind is that Linux doesn’t have the same hand holding as windows. By all means make the switch but do not run sudo commands you don’t understand unless you’re comfortable debugging or reinstalling your system.

I learned that the hard way, though I was more than happy to just reinstall and try again. If Linux gives you any warning, please pay attention instead of ignoring like you would on windows.

I think mint is a great choice and I’ve installed it on my laptop recently and its been working very well. I’m no expert but hopefully if you have any questions I can help you out.

That’s awesome to hear. I’ll have to check it out

It’s on my list. Finishing inscryption first. Is it good?

Linux mint Debian edition. I just wanted to properly try cinnamon since I know GNOME isn’t for me and I really like KDE. Other options strike me personally as mostly just downgrades to KDE. It’s been very easy, absolutely nothing to complain about.
And the best part is I don’t update 2000 packages every time I use it lol (it mostly sat in a drawer collecting dust).

I don’t know that there’s really much difference use wise aside from the lack of updates. Everything largely looks and feels the same. Debian doesn’t have YaST obviously, but I never actually used my laptop enough to appreciate it so idk what I’m missing out on there.

No harm in trying stuff out, especially if you don’t use your laptop much like I do.
