    As compared with the excellent Windows documentation, UI and faultless drivers.

      Absolute mess. But not as bad a nix.

      I promise you I’ve never had to run something like xdotool or xrander just to set up basic shit like mouse gestures or a default display like a tv.

      Windows works a lot better out of the box with little to no input. It’ll just nag you about one drive the entire fucking time lol.

          https://docs.bazzite.gg/Handheld_and_HTPC_edition/quirks/#how-do-i-specify-the-correct-monitor-for-gaming-mode-to-use-htpc-only

          Documentation is incorrect as well. Xrandr doesn’t even return full device names. You need to know to append the Linux HDMI naming convention. You also need to fuck with pulse wire on DE and gaming mode. I’ve run into similar issues in Debian including have to fuck with pulse wire for HDMI audio.

          But I’m sure it’s just my distro. I bet mint will work flawlessly 🙄

            the documentation doesn’t say to use xrandr to do that, it gives clear instructions you didn’t follow.

              Sorry you’ve got me. I mixed up Gnome and the generic.

        something like xdotool or xrandr

        yes X11 is a mess, always has been.

          I just don’t understand why we can’t be realistic about these real barriers to entry.

            what are the real barriers to entry? I doubt its finagling with the more than outdated X11 session manager when we have Wayland, every Distributor ships Wayland (exclusively).

        Dude I started using Linux at the time of CRTs and xorg.conf, I remember about xrandr, but it’s far away in the past.

          No, it’s not. Similar issues a few years ago in Debian as well.

            Not a single mention of xrandr on that page. Bazzite uses Wayland, not X11

              Gnome-randr

              You got me! Idiots 🤣

              I know I’m so stupid for putting in the generic! Just Linux things. The fact that two of you did the same exact thing is mind boggling.

              Such SIMP ing lololol
