The way I always heard it described (with the default setup) for the most popular DE's:

  • KDE Plasma is the most "windows like" DE by default. Layout and most common behaviour will be very similar
  • GNOME is more oriented towards a macOS like style. It doesn't allow as much customisation out of the box as others.
  • XFCE is also a solid choice, not many integrated applications (KDE have their own version for many things like file explorer or search)

There a lot of others like LXQT, options that are not the "usual" Desktop Environment e.g. tiling window managers like Hyprland.

A lot of these can be installed in parallel and you can then choose which to start on the login manager, if you want to experiment which you like more.

There is also the choice of display protocol (X11 or Wayland), with X11 being the older more widely supported option. Not all DE's will work on Wayland.

    Well I would also love Digital Rights Management improvements. Maybe then streaming services would actually work with Full HD (or even HD) on Linux...

    This is sadly a large sticking point to get some of my Friends to convert to Linux...

    I had a similar setup (Endeavour OS + 3080). While most daily tasks worked fine I had some large annoyances.

    • Monitor Sleep would sometimes prevent VRR from working afterwards
    • Actual sleep would sometimes force me to reconnect my second monitor.
    • Hybernation was completely broken
    • VRAM swapping does not work at all, leading to stuttering instead of simply degraded performance.

    I am sure I missed some more minor ones, but there were the main reasons I got an AMD card

    I know that our Electric stovetop is connected to the 400v Three Phase circuit.

    So even with 240v mains power the Stove is usually connected to a circuit with the highest available power.

    But even the 240v plug in induction stovetops have plenty power for cooking.

    It does support it, you just have to add it to dnsmasq. I have it Setup under misc.dnsmasq_lines like so:

    address=/proxy.example.com/192.0.0.100
    local=/proxy.example.com/
    

    Then I have my proxied service reachable under service.proxy.example.com

    Let's not forget the biggest issue, mandatory Apps that don't work.

    I know of a few Banks that require you to use their app for online banking or as 2fa for online banking. Some of these don't even work while the bootloader is unlocked

    My current 5900x seems to be on the brink of death, randomly refusing to boot and crashing despite having disabled C-States already. I'm using as an excuse to upgrade to AM5 while taking with me as many components as feasible.

    While I did already quite some research I am sure if there are things I have overlooked, so someone looking a this build (I included my old components I plan to still use) would be helpful.

    I have read that the AM4 coolers are still compatible I am unsure about that particular one, or if I should replace it since it is 5 years old already...

    I was printing some ABS on my modified Anycubic I3 Mega overnight, when I awoke to this horror of a destroyed glass print bed...

    Now the question remains, how to actually fix this? One part is still firmly attached to the Bed and I fear this may destroy the Bed even more.

    And I obviously need a new Print bed, but I can't find the exact replacement, so should I even get a replacement Ultrabase? I saw that there are magnetic PEI beds available, but I am unsure if it is worth the 80-100€ for this.

    Edit: Since the glass is glued to the 1.5mm aluminium heater PCB (and I already had to resolder the broken off wires once) I was looking at complete replacements at first, which why the price is relatively high
