same here. switched back after years of dual booting because on all my DEs over the years I consistently had these issues, not to mention I make music and daws fucking hate Linux / wine. just made sure to debloat it before I used it.
Comment on The Windows 11 problem
Neon@lemmy.world 11 months agoi actually switched back to Windows from Linux because it didn’t work well with different resolutions and scaling and my Programs kept crashing.

I saw in your other comment that you were using Gnome. A lot of people like it, but Gnome wouldn’t be my recommendation.
I use a multi-monitor setup not that different from yours, and KDE handles it swimmingly. I also have an Nvidia card and I’m using X.org. I probably could use Wayland, but I’m in no rush.
If you really want to stay with a GTK desktop, then XFCE is excellent also. Budgie too.

I tried Plasma, but that just ended in my 1080p Monitor freezing and turning off. Gnome did that too, but much much much rarer.
So yeah, Linux just doesn’t like me.
I am planning to move to a VR-Setup anyways, using my computer with “Virtual Desktop”.
And that sadly isn’t available on Linux.

Prob a gnome issue, I’ve never had an issue with scaling on kde, xfce, or i3 with my 4 monitors
hperrin@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Interesting. Were you running Windows programs with Wine?
Neon@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Nope. Flatpaks and native Nix Packages.
Browsers and Steam would just randomly crash. I think it has something to do with scaling because the Programs always crash when i move them from Monitor to Monitor.
hperrin@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I’ve heard a few people say scaling was an issue for them. It hasn’t been for me, and I run various multi monitor setups, so maybe I’ve been lucky. Did you try enabling Gnome’s experimental scaling? I always do, and supposedly that’s been enabled as default in Gnome 45.
Neon@lemmy.world 11 months ago
No, i actually didn’t even know that exists. Might try it out again on my secondary SSD
