    Man I really want to see that VRR patch merged in, even if it still takes a flag to turn on.

    With KDE having VRR and now HDR it feels like the choice you have to make if you are gaming on Linux. I prefer Gnome generally so I would like to see them catch up.

      I switched to KDE because of this. I miss GNOME dearly. I despise KDE’s design choices. But right now, it’s better for gaming.

        Differently from GNOME, you can actively participate in KDE’s design choices. Usually they are made by a small bunch of people who are open to feedback.

          Not gonna lie, I’ve submitted tiny feature requests to the dev team for Cinnamon and Mate before. One or two of them got implemented, and I was so … happy? proud? idk

          I was such a cool feeling though. Being able to participate is very underrated.

            I have submitted a tiny patch to the Linux Kernel one year ago and I felt so cool too. I understand.

          I would love to, but with two jobs and two small kids, I barely get any free time. But I’ll consider it. Is there any UX/UI focused working group?

      Glad.im not alone in this.

      I use Gnome on the laptop and KDE on the gaming computer.

      But I also dock the laptop, and gnomes workflow is still amazingly intuitive with keyboard and mouse.

      It also handles HiDPI better than anything else I’ve used even windows and Mac. Truly remarkable.

      But I use KDE for gaming because I want vrr and can use HDR.
