To me, Linux means having the option of a system that lacks distractions. That’s a drastic ux improvement for me personally; IMO windows UX peaked with 2000, and XP was nearly as good.
I haven’t played much multiplayer anything (a little MTGa, among us, tabletop simulator and beat saber) but none of the single player games I’ve tried on Ubuntu have had any issues; just open steam and press play.
Windows started pushing f2p games in the start menu, changed UI toolkits twice in two generations, etc; it’s become unpleasant for me to use. Apple have similarly dropped the ball on UX in the past 5 years. IMO Linux UX has caught up thanks to those companies failures.
- gps0 4y agoWhat are some DEs / window managers you think are quite simple and let you focus?
- danielheath 4y agoI’m using classic i3, with a nearly stock config. I have a key binding to start a launcher (in lieu of a start button). I3bar to indicate which workspaces have new chat messages etc. Default black background, all non-critical notifications disabled; I get distracted easily, so I craft an environment that avoids distractions.
- omnimus 4y agosimple window manager - how can you say i3?! most people wouldnt know how to do anything in there
- danielheath 4y agoMost window managers are easy, but not simple. i3 is simple, but not easy. In general, I'd prefer to have something both simple and easy, but in most cases that's not an option.
