Curious on the experiences of those recently migrating to Linux from Windows 10, Intel-based MacOS, etc. How is it being on Linux? Anything surprise or frustrate you?

    Going grand. Running Bazzite.

    Some squirreliness around installing app, getting permissions and push to talk on Discord.

    Before I upgraded my system, cpu from a 3700 to a 9800x3d (along with ram and motherboard), I was getting weird issues. Sometimes when I’d log into the system, it would work for a minute or so and then kick me back out to the login screen. If I’d log in again I would get stuck on a black screen. I’d need to restart to log into successfully (though it would occasionally happen again)

      Are you using a NVIDIA GPU? Because that bug is their stupid driver doing shady shit and switching the TTY randomly for absolutely no reason.

      You’re basically still logged in, but in another TTY (think of these as the “browser tabs” of the kernel graphics stack/DRM layer), and to recover you have to start pressing ctrl+alt+F1 up to ctrl+alt+Fx (usually either F1/F2 works for me) incrementally to find the right “tab” again.

      I’m on Fedora workstation, but I recognised what you’re describing immediately and Bazzite is derived from Fedora Sileverblue. So I thought I’d share. Might be worth a shot to someone I guess?

      Have you solved the push to talk on Discord? I’m ok dealing with it, but I’d like to not have the problem at all

        Not satisfactorily. You can just give Discord carte blanche to read your entire keyboard when you’re not focused on Discord. (Unless I have a full screen app in focus. )

        But I don’t want to do it.

        There’s an update coming for Plasma to help with PTT, but I’d like a better solution.

          Seems like Vesktop doesn’t do global push-to-talk either. Am I missing it? Attempting to set other keybinds asks me to download Discord 😔
