@eduo Yeah I can’t explain the adoption of CentOS. I am sure that there is some long forgotten reason why the CGI world latched onto it. Who knows.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion but GNOME Shell…. it’s just… bad! It’s like having a fight with your computer every-time you use it. Give me Cinnamon any day (which was forked from GNOME 3 before they messed it up). Linux Mint also has MATE (forked from GNOME 2) and Xfce versions if they are more to your taste.
I’ve tried KDE but it wasn’t sexy enough for me. Again though, that’s personal preference.
Yeah admittedly the Cintiq is a more complicated piece of kit than I have ever used from Wacom, so your experience might not be as good. I was mostly thinking about my own experience with Wacom tablets. I’ve found the support to be generally very good. It’s mostly just worked out of the box, and when it didn’t it wasn’t a hard fix. Wacom don’t support their stuff on Linux directly, however, they heavily co-operate with https://linuxwacom.github.io/, who do a great job.
Don’t fear the terminal! 🙂 There is magic hiding in there… Even if you are not using Arch, I’d recommend bookmarking https://wiki.archlinux.org/. It’s incredible! I’ve found answers in there loads of times, and I’ve never actually used Arch in my life.
EDIT – I missed the video that you linked to. Thanks! I will check that out. I had not heard of Lutris before…hmmmm. Manjaro also looked quite nice there.
