The nice thing about linux is that you don’t like something, someone already made an alternative.

I remember trying gnome, kde, and budgie before settling on gnome with shell extensions that make it look like windows

If you ever decide to switch off of kde, try out gnome with dash to panel, arc menu, and shell tile to get a windows like task bar

Dash to panel

### Introduction

Dash to Panel is an icon taskbar for Gnome Shell. This extension moves the dash into the gnome main panel so that the application launchers and system tray are combined into a single panel, similar to that found in KDE Plasma and Windows 7+. A separate dock is no longer needed for easy access to running and favorited applications. 

Beyond that, just about every aspect of the panel is fully customizable. From positioning and scaling panel elements to running indicators to multi-monitor display, to window previews and even intellihide, Dash to Panel has everything you need to make your workspace feel like home.

Happy to report that xbox one controller works with Proton 4.2.2, but it’s not wireless, still this is big step forward to support controllers in linux!

I found out recently that in Ubuntu 18.04 PS3 controller works without any tinkering, just plug and play. Though steam thinks it is Xbox controller but meh, I can live with that.

If you are talking about in game characters ( like it says pres B for back and there is no B on the controller because its a PS controller ) This is from the game.

I have a XBOX one x Bluetooth controller and works perfectly with bluetooth - whole reason I got it.

And here we go! My second system that is in my parents is gonna have linux nowon, but there is a slight catch, since i’m rocking amd gpu, i have to download 19.04 ubuntu. The LTS-release won’t cut it because old kernel, past i had a bad luck upgrading the kernel on LTS-release, so im just gonna install all again. This time i will use cinnamon, because my parents are very familiar with the win9x feel.

I will report later how my journey goes with this machine!

I do hate ms more now, excel things does not always work on libreoffice… Then im the responsible to rant about things that doesnt work.

Yoray · April 18, 2019, 8:23pm

It could be weak support from LibreOffice too. Let’s not just point fingers at Microsoft for everything that doesn’t work.

Submit a bug report btw.

I sense the right attitude: don’t hate the incompability, hate the proprietaryrilibilityty.

Kiri_The_Wolf · June 13, 2019, 10:06pm

Well, after trying out distros, i settled with ubuntu 19.10 and cinnamon desktop.

Here is my current desktop config
