I am glad that you are at peace with your workstations now, but just for updates on current situation in Linux Desktop world:
- Mostly the same, but now you can just turn switchable graphics off, so to only use Nvidia.
- Now we can use stable pipewire which is 3x times better
- Have not seen a delayed arch update problem in a while.
- Now it’s fine. In Build steam browser still sucks tho, and turning hardware acceleration is an ass ton of problems even now.
- Depending on your laptop and configs, some Linux oriented laptops can live for 15 hours on stock
- It’s easy with Cups and HP drivers, even trou Wi-Fi
- Now there are tools that can configure external monitor management. Also, Wayland is good with these types without configs
- We still don’t have Microsoft Office
- Flash works with emulators like Ruffles
Glad that Linux have noticeable progress in its lifespan
