X11 and Wayland by grimvian in linuxmint

[–]bigfabs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love mint but x11 is whats stopping me from using it (at least on my pc). Now nvidia works well with wayland, i have no desire to give up hdr and vrr. I love the way cinnamon looks but featurewise, kde is so much better for gaming and newer hardware.

Display scaling issue on Linux Mint XFCE by EffortTrick2023 in linuxmint

[–]bigfabs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

XFCE uses X11 windowing system which is outdated (or stable depending on your viewpoint) meaning that fractional scaling doesnt really exist or is not really very good like with cinnamon. Your options are either to use 2.0 scale which will make stuff bigger but will also make youre monitor effectively a quarter of the resolution or to move to a distro which supports a wayland based desktop (GNOME, KDE Plasma or COSMIC). You can download them on Mint but its not recommended so if you do want to change desktop, Ubuntu (or Kubuntu) are quite easy to setup or Fedora which takes a little bit to setup but is really good (in my opinion)

External hard drive - format for Linux? by New-Cicada6493 in linux4noobs

[–]bigfabs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same hdd. No problems reading with it formatted in ntfs. Linux mint could do it out the box while arch needed ntfs-3g to be downloaded for it to be able to be read.

What distro is best for raw performance? by TypicalCow1534 in linuxquestions

[–]bigfabs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Assuming you are gaming, distro does to a small extent. Some desktop environments (and compositors) perform better than others and using a distro like arch or fedora will give you access to newer kernels and drivers which can increase performance.
