You don't. Or technically, you can set up lvm which basically glues physical partitions into logical volumes which act as partitions and are extensible, but converting to that involves reformatting whatever partition you would use, so you might as well just nuke your current partitions and create larger ones.

>>GNOME is absolute irredeemable dogshit by design
weak argument, but all right, how would you improve it?
>>KDE is insanely buggy
worked on my machine last time I ran it. How do you fix that? Give developers more support and yell at them to restructure their shit until it is fixed?
>>Xfce is both stuck in the last century and buggy
Can agree that it's some 90s shit, but it's quite well put together
>>tiling WMs require literal autism to want to use (because they're objectively inferior)
sounds reasoable. Apparently autists are more productive on those than on classic WMs
>>all other DEs are completely irrelevant and most barely work
probably used in some very special cases that normal people do not care about
>>everything X is by design incapable of properly supporting mixed refresh rates
>>most X compositors don't even support higher refresh rates than 60Hz
yes, X is old
>>on NVIDIA you're at the mercy of "Force Composition Pipeline" which breaks shit
yell at NVIDIA to fix their shit
>>WAYLAND is still mostly unusable for anything more than looking at anime and other kinds of child porn
>>you can't even have browsers run at more than 60 fps on WAYLAND
get people to support Wayland development more
>>Manjaro is a joke
in what way? It gives benefits of Arch to non-autistic people
>>Arch takes like an hour to do a full install of because you have to manually setup shit like hardware acceleration and fucking fonts (those are considered "bloat")
It's almost as if Arch was not designed to be installed by newcomers
>>if you have a GPU that doesn't handle Vulkan well (which came out just 4 years ago) the majority of modern games will run like shit
valid point. How would you improve that?
>> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argumentum_ad_populum
help normalfags realise that they can stop being retarded if they try

good point, resizing LVM is too much for newcomers

>how would you improve it?
Give it a proper bar like in Windows-style DEs so that you can switch between programs with a single click.
This isn't a new idea. GNOME devs just don't care. No matter how many people tell them about this they still won't care.
Stock GNOME doesn't even let you minimize windows. what the fuck
>How do you fix that?
There have been many people working on it for many years. If they have this many issues that means that they must have some serious organizational issues. I'm not sure if this is true but I've heard that they don't even require their devs to write tests for the software they make. No amount of effort from a single person can fix such retardation.
>but it's quite well put together
It still has a bug where if you resize the settings window horizontally you can't make it smaller again. I wouldn't consider that well put together. Also it literally doesn't work with NVIDIA proprietary but that's probably mostly NVIDIA's fault.

I just want to play videogames. Using Linux simply isn't viable for that. Stop pretending like people like me can do anything to change that.

What kills it for me is the drivers for my mouse. It's corsair I can't seem to get the smoothness I get in windows, even if I try to save the data to the mouse in windows.

You already posted this.

You can meme all you want but Linux btfo'd Apple's gaming support

I did.
What's your point?

just use an install script for arch
>those are considered bloat
technically they are. eg headless systems don't need that shit and some users will want different fonts. after all that's the point of arch: very minimal install and you pick everything you want

Nobody replied the first time because it was a shitty post and you still posted it again.

they did it to themselves by ending support for 32 bit apps

And this thread is so shitty that OP had to bump it himself the first time or else it would've died.

LXQT works

apple has gaming support?

It's weird that games still get Mac ports. I mean, whatever, it's not hurting me and it's good for Mac users, so it's cool. But I'm not convinced that these Mac users really exist. Who the hell plays games on a Mac? Obviously there are lots of Windows users here and the number of Linux users is growing, but I've never seen a post about Mac gaming that wasn't bait.

i tried ubuntu and i didnt get great results. it feels slower than windows. and i had games lag even on retroarch. its like the system was struggling just to work normally

>implying OP can bump

>tiling WMs require literal autism to want to use (because they're objectively inferior)
Objectively? You should have no trouble proving it, then.

did you check ram and cpu usage? what cpu/gpu?

it's likely due to ubuntu being a piece of shit.
meanwhile on arch rpcs3 performs WAY better. eg NG Sigma has zero slowdown compared to windows where I get drops in the monastery main room and P5 is less laggy in general

Yes he can you retard. Also in the top right you can see the number of IPs that posted in a thread.
Are you this thirsty for that one (You) I can give you that you post shit this stupid?

Regular DEs just like tiling WMs let you move and tile windows using the keyboard but at the same time they don't stop you from using the mouse (which you will be using often because you can't use browsers and many other programs with just the keyboard (>inb4 lynx)).

Just can't trust Linuxfags to be honest about games, I guess.

>browsers
qutebrowser is pretty fucking great.

For everything that doesn't work with proton you through it into a VM with GPU passthrough, thus keeping Windows in the cage where it belongs.

I haven't looked at Gnome in years and was surprised when I finally checked it out a month ago and saw that it was still shit. What the hell happened to the devs when they started working on Gnome 3? Haven't had issues with KDE since the early days of KDE 4 though, never had problems with XFCE. Also, Mate and Cinnamon were good last I used them.

it really depends on what you play.
if you care about shit like multiplayer with anticheat or day1 AAA shit then you're rightfully fucked.

Is it as fast as Chromium? Does it support hardware acceleration / video decoding? Can you use Captcha Buster?

A FUCKING FOOT

why isn't it popular among footfags?

>Manjaro

What's wrong with it? I played around with it a bit after a few years away from Linux and it seemed pretty nice. Arch is pretty shit though since the devs go out of their way to make it more annoying to use out of laziness and/or to please the 1337 crowd. Should be Zig Forums's distro of choice though since contrarians love it. Remember how people used to praise rc.conf for being so convenient? And then as soon as the devs neutered it, everyone said "Eh, it always sucked." Then people defended the ridiculous install process after they got rid of the ncurses installer just because it made them feel like computer geniuses for doing things the tedious way. I wasn't paying attention to the Linux community anymore when they got rid of the beginner's guide on the wiki, but I bet Archfags praised that too.

it's using the chromium browser engine under the hood and in my experience seems to even perform slightly better than the regular browser likely due to less bloat.
however it has no support for chrome extensions. however it does support greasemonkey scripts but I dunno if it has a captcha buster

I don't want to have to use Windows for games period if I'm going to use Linux for games.

I play older games (from 90s and above usually) and occasionally newer titles, all single player. Most of the things I looked at still said some tinkering was required.

Lutris is usually the way to go for older games
