I am Zach, AKA AceFuzzLord, AKA Dizzy Devil Ducky!
Until my laptop dies or cannot support it, I’m sticking with KDE Plasma. Love how MX configured it (because I’m lazy) and absolutely will keep using it for as long as my laptop survived or can hold it.
Might try other ones in VMs (like ratpoison) in the future for other machines I might set up in the future, but for now KDE Plasma is my go-to that I’ll probably be using for a long time.
The only thing that makes me question that is my current laptop not having a working headphone jack port. It’s most likely a hardware issue that I would need to put a ton of work into figuring out why it isn’t working properly. It’s a Samsung Galaxy Book, so I would have to look up the specific model and find out what hardware they use, which I’m not too fussed about since I can just begrudgingly use bluetooth.
Same type of issue with the last shitty worse-than-a-toaster laptop with detachable touchscreen monitor laptop I used to have that ran Ubuntu (my first experience with Linux in general).
Headphone jacks on laptops are the bane of my existence when it comes to Linux (obviously not including android because I count that as its’ own separate entity).
Not enough college financial aid left for me to be able to, otherwise I’d have to look at my wishlist and see what’s available for a good price.
Can absolutely vouch for Chuzzke Deluxe. Only problem I have with it now is that last I checked, some of the settings don’t work if you are on Linux and using proton. Mainly just the setting for windowed mode, if I remember correctly. But that’s a minor thing considering how cheap the game is on Steam.
Edit:
It’s $4.99USD, so it’s not really that expensive, but I for some reason thought it was a slightly lower price. Still recommended if you don’t mind spending that little amount to pick it up.
I can’t speak for anyone else, but I personally enjoy the feeling of the rumble.
I think the last 3 games I’ve been playing were Mindustry (docked because otherwise that game would be a nightmare for me to set up controls for), Gemcraft Frostborn Wrath, and Pokemon Rejuvenation (they’re pretty much the only fan game I know of that has a native Linux port and I absolutely LOVE the devs for that).
