If you’re addicted to a game, your phone battery is the least of your problems.
Dxvk is usually better, but using vulkan is the better strategic move, you’ll increase their vulkan stats and provide QA. Good native vulkan support will beat dxvk every time.
Linux only just hit 2% market share
That’s steam players, linux on desktop is estimated at 4%, and 6% if you count chromeos.
Arch is designed to take up your free time by making you build everything from scratch
That’s a weird take, arch provides repositories ootb and is meant to be used with pacman, you’re maybe confusing with gentoo?
You really want to deal with wine through another layer like lutris if you’re new to wine. Lutris doesn’t just bring a different wine version, it brings environment variables, dxvk… Wine alone does not work well, it needs to be setup.

It’s more complicated than that, distros typically have specific patches for packages and they assume you’re running a particular kernel version. By running another kernel version you’re going into unsupported territory. Yeah you can do that, and it’ll probably be fine, but using another distro that actually supports the edge kernel is less risky and takes a few less clicks.
They do. Linux mint is great for office work and opening firefox. If you want a gaming distro i’d use something closer to the edge like fedora / endeavour os.
It’s really a design decision. Gnome’s corners don’t have infinite size because you can grab the window by clicking anywhere on the topbar including in fullscreen. It creates exceptions in the design, why should the close button expand to the corner but not the others? If the close button is too small to click on, that’s another issue entirely.
Do you honestly think an icon bar like this is a good thing? Look at the colors, the amount of them, how they fold because there’s too many… And it’s the same shit on windows too. It looks ugly, they’re hard to click on, most of them don’t serve any purpose… I agree appindicators do serve a purpose, but as it is, i prefer not having them at all.
Works fine here, on mutter with mesa. Looks mostly like a KDE bug.
You can still theme gtk though, whether it’s simply by editing /.config/gtk-4.0/gtk.css
or by using a more in depth app like gradience, everyone using the same defaults actually makes it easier to further tweak.
The problem is when you allow one developer its own applet, every application wants one, and suddenly you have 15 applets. Applications need to figure out alternative design patterns to achieve the same result or sidestep the problem.
There’s this saying, out of sight, out of mind, do you really need to have a constant eye on every application? When there’s an actual change you get a notification.

Google has a swath of PR people, devs are always going to be less socially inclined. Devs at google aren’t the ones making the decisions. But yeah gnome does throw its weight around, both for good and bad.
Notifications are more effective at displaying a change of status than a tiny icon turning red. What’s important to someone is gonna vary on a case by case basis, sometimes getting an email is an urgent notification, you can easily turn off the ones you don’t care for or go into DND mode.
Notifications, you can have the app fire a notification when it’s synced or disconnects for example. Gnome is working on better notifications right now. Tablets, chromebooks, cell phones… have been doing fine without appindicators; people just have a hard time changing their habits.
The whole thing never made much sense anyways, machines would be without scrupules and cut off any redundancies like extra limbs, they’d probably just keep your brain in a jar.
