After using macs for the better part of a decade and recently moving to Linux: the Linux desktop ecosystem is vibrant and fun if you like to tinker.
There are things that aren’t as streamlined like power management but I’ve been able to get my framework laptop to pretty much exactly how I like it.
I was nervous about sleep/hibernation but honestly using systemd and a couple of tweaks (enabling sleep-then-hibernate) and everything is super reliable, rarely any issues.
Wayland + Sway is a killer combination and everything is super snappy.
I fell in love with workspaces in Mac with touchpad gestures but on a high refresh rate monitor the animation is so slow and it cannot be tweaked. On sway there is no animation and it is instant.
I think once the steam deck matures we are going to truly see a year of Linux desktop soon.

- howinteresting 5y agoThat stopped working several versions ago. I've spent hours trying to make the Mac interface work well. I've come to the conclusion that it's unfixable.

- gigatexal 5y agoCan I install sway on the 20.04 LTS and when I choose it at the GDM login have it switch to Wayland? i.e Can I have both xorg+proprietary nvidia drivers running for i3 and stock gnome and then do wayland+sway when chosen?
