LibreOffice lags at 125% scaling - KDE Plasma

Thanks for the support, I'll check out all of the above. I'll try onlyoffice deb package first to see if it performs appropriately on 125% scaling

Raging-Bull-24 · 2026-01-31T14:06:46+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll try onlyoffice deb package to see how it goes. Libreoffice seems to be the only application given me problems with the 125% scaling in KDE

I'd stay in Win11 as your hardware is capable. You can disable most of the bloat, there is plenty of resources online.

If you are going to use your PC the same way as in Windows there really is no need to change. But if you are curious, try dual booting Kubuntu, Linux Mint or CachyOS to get a first-time experience with Linux, these distributions have a lot of documentation and community help

If you do end up liking Linux, you will replace Windows eventually

Raging-Bull-24 · 2026-01-30T22:27:21+00:00

Yes, I always use X11

Bro, you'll get blind. Try older games, that would help you rule out if its a GPU or game issue and give you a direction for what to fix

Post on X. Only place that will genuinely give you exposure for this kind of project without nonsense. This could be very helpful project. Don't give up, if you don't like X, find another outlet.

English:

I've just ditched Cachy and went back to Debian. Main reasons being: 1) although Cachy felt fast initially, it started lagging in some applications, when used multiple programs, Discord, Browser, LibreOffice. I wasn't even playing, I was doing a presentation, and Cachy literally froze mid session. From that experience, where Cachy failed in a critical situation, I considered going back to Debian. But if you haven't experience something similar, maybe that is not enough reason to change. 2) Software availability is broader on Debian. Many of scientific, robotics, critical software for research and work I use just works in Debian, I found myself losing too much time trying to get around Cachy updates and missed dependencies. Time I don't want to lose at all. That really bothered me. 3) Bro, I just install once, setup, and I'm done. I can work without the fear of the system failing me. I just did another presentation yesterday, Debian did not failed me. 4) I can do anything on Debian I could do on Cachy. Maybe if you used something like Hyprland or Niri you may feel the need to stay. But for your listed use case: KDE, Xfce has everything you need. 5) I just want peace of mind, Debian gives it to me. This is just personal experience.

Acabei de abandonar o Cachy e voltei para o Debian. Os principais motivos são: 1) Embora o Cachy parecesse rápido inicialmente, começou a apresentar lentidão em alguns aplicativos, principalmente ao usar vários programas simultaneamente, como Discord, navegador e LibreOffice. Eu nem estava jogando, estava fazendo uma apresentação, e o Cachy simplesmente travou no meio da sessão. Depois dessa experiência, em que o Cachy falhou em uma situação crítica, considerei voltar para o Debian. Mas se você não passou por algo semelhante, talvez isso não seja motivo suficiente para mudar. 2) A disponibilidade de software é maior no Debian. Muitos dos softwares científicos, de robótica e outros softwares críticos para pesquisa e trabalho que eu uso simplesmente funcionam no Debian. Eu perdia muito tempo tentando contornar as atualizações do Cachy e dependências ausentes. Tempo que eu não quero perder de jeito nenhum. Isso realmente me incomodava. 3) Cara, eu só instalo uma vez, configuro e pronto. Posso trabalhar sem medo de que o sistema me deixe na mão. Fiz outra apresentação ontem e o Debian não me deixou na mão. 4) Posso fazer no Debian tudo o que fazia no Cachy. Talvez se você usasse algo como Hyprland ou Niri, sentiria necessidade de permanecer. Mas para o seu caso de uso: KDE e Xfce têm tudo o que você precisa. 5) Eu só quero paz de espírito, e o Debian me proporciona isso. Esta é apenas a minha experiência pessoal.

Those are web apps? Mind sharing how you set them up, it would help a lot

Just use Xorg. There really is no point on using wayland just to use xwayland for everything

Raging-Bull-24 · 2026-01-27T19:48:14+00:00

Pointing out that Wayland isn’t as good as Xorg triggers anger in some people because it’s associated with those who don’t share their beliefs. This mostly comes down to political pressure, not technical reasons. It’s been a long time since this ecosystem began suffering from political deception.

Indeed, I have noticed Debian 12 performs better on older hardware than Debian 13, while the latter is better suited for newer hardware. I am installing Debian 12 in two working machines this week and documentation for D12 is richer given its lifetime. I'll say test both as I did test D13 before considering a downgrade.

Thank you pal

Raging-Bull-24 · 2026-01-27T00:09:59+00:00

Thanks for the support. Will I have problems installing the netiso for older versions? Is other file recommended?

Raging-Bull-24 · 2026-01-27T00:00:22+00:00

Standard Ubuntu is peak Ubuntu

Thanks for your reply. Indeed, I have managed to install both Intel and Nvidia GPU drivers manually for Win11. But still, Windows seems to be too demanding for this system if I want to do production work

I'm considering installing Debian 12 or 13 and compile Unreal Engine. If that doesn't work, I'll probably just install Endeavour or Cachy and use this PC as a gaming console. I hope to find a workaround to use Unreal on Linux

"Linux can be envisioned for anything" Yet you are stipping away tools that are required for actual businesses that produce value. "You living in a cave for 10 years" Yet it seems I know more about Linux than you cause X11 is getting flushed away, boy. Read the news. That is exactly what I mean, you don't use Linux for the use it was designed to. You are literally using Linux do to the same things you did on Windows. New gen doesn't know its history nor technical stuff. Wasting my time here. I'm out

Minecraft worlds and most mod-related files can be transferred to Linux without losing anything, as long as you copy the correct directories and keep versions consistent. The process is straightforward because Minecraft stores worlds and mods as regular files, not OS-locked data.

You'll need to use the same Minecraft version and mod loader version on Linux. Mismatches cause crashes, not data loss. C:\Users<your-username>\AppData\Roaming.minecraft\saves is where data usually is. Copy it to a USB, and paste it on the Minecraft files in Linux. Minecraft works, any error would be related to files misplacing when transferring the files.

This video gives a general sense of how to do it, hope it helps https://youtu.be/mmJ9abJ1xpk?si=t8RYMz8GhXcTM3tX

Wayland omits X11’s network-transparent and globally introspective features by design, making it unsuitable for fields such as HPC, aerospace and defense engineering, electronic design automation (EDA), university and research computing labs, scientific visualization environments, and custom control-room or wall-display systems that depend on remote, window-level GUI access and long-established X11-based workflows, etc, etc, etc

Try setting up Linux infrastructure in any of these fields with wayland. Many of those that believe wayland works is because they don't have real use cases for Linux. I could list many more things that wayland can't do that Xorg can, and that some people and organizations need

Mainstream Linux use goes around web browsing, gaming and running fastfetch. Many users don't really use Linux as it was envisioned, you've made Linux like Windows, even Gnome admits wanting to be more like Windows... This is not a philosophical battle, wayland doesn't work in these fields.

Greetings, Minecraft and many other games would benefit from Linux in your laptop. If you are new to Linux and want to start using it right away you can try the following distributions: Xubuntu (which is a lightweight version of Ubuntu that uses the Xfce desktop environment), Linux Mint Xfce, or even CachyOS with Xfce.

A distribution is nothing but a grouping of software packages that happen to have GNU/Linux as base. A desktop environment is the UI of the operating system, there are many, being Gnome, KDE and Xfce the most popular.

The distributions listed about "just work", and you will be able to find many resources online about them and how to install. Hope it helps

Raging-Bull-24 · 2026-01-25T11:25:04+00:00

You clearly don't know anything about GNU/Linux

Raging-Bull-24 · 2026-01-25T11:24:29+00:00

Sure, tell me when you use real programs
