Thanks for links nd tips. I only tried Lutris, Bottles and the hardcore manual prefix management so far (cli + winetricks). I surprisingly struggle with anything except manual management. I guess I just like the CLI the most.
Don’t worry about sounding like AI. Some of my replies sound like poorly rewritten GPT answers.
I think it is related to Unity and some addon. Thanks for the tip with GE. I will try it when I have a bit more time. The game is still installed.
In-game videos and some blur effects don’t render. I did not have time to really investigate whether its Proton lacking or just NVIDIA sucking.
In my case it would be Reverse:1999, because Proton has issues with some components.
Other uses would be banking apps and store apps (discounts).
Also it is a way to play games that have issues in Wine and have mobile version.
Not sure if my suggestion will be any help, but in the past I found out that macOS installer changes drive flags and removed some flags from my partitions. Fixed with efibootmgr.
MPV, VLC, AIMP kid3, MiXplorer for tagging haven’t played around with lyrics that much
Just a small note, scanning is handled by SANE. So you have to look for that is some form, when troubleshooting.
Good job. I kinda feel like it needs a bit more textury look. And a ton of gradients.
I think a bit of rounding can look good. But I feel most of the designs these days are overdoing it.
Man, I really can’t wait to put border-radius: 100% on my entire desktop for proper roundnessmaxxing. And add in liquid glass and blur to every sigle letter, button, window, icon, heck even my word processor, text editor and images displayed by my image viewer, …
The switch or dual boot is up to you. I can lay out some general steps in case you want to have an overview. Please do not be scared off by it. Depending on the distro, most things work out of the box or with very little effort.

Brother distributes its own drivers, but there are some alternatives like brlaser. Both mentioned drivers work great on linux in my experience.
Maybe luakit, If you want gui. Dillo, if you don’t care about the looks. And w3m for terminal.
Nice, I tried enlightenment in the past. Really cool, but not exaclty my cup of tea.
Also check which Wi-Fi driver is used. ArchWiki delais this nicely. Sometimes you may end up with wrong one enabled (I did with some distros in the past).
It is not your mistake. It just could be a very specific issue, misconfiguration perhaps. Even the default installer may mess up. On my machine the Wi-Fi did not work because the distro installer set up wrong driver. To be fair it probably works on most newer machines but mine works with the one that is already in the kernel (which it of course disabled). Also no audio, because driver is still in development and last time I tried it didn’t work. No hybernation because some random wake up bugs. And many tiny incoveniences, but my machine is a jackpot in that regard. Also by default Arch did not detect some USB devices plugged in after startup. Some time later I learned it was the default USB config and changed it.
My point was that just because it is the default done by the installer it may not be the default that works for all machines.
Sounds like you speedrunned distro hopping and used anything but the stuff people actually end up using. I recommend not to look at distros but the base OS. Distro is just a bunch of things on a base. Also I’ve never used Gnome, but friends who have used it eventually switched to literally anything else.
Also, never expect things to be 100% plug and play and then complain about them with no research. There is always a limit with every software. And there are always resources and guides.
I currently can’t get it working at all and had to disable it, because my machine won’t come back up. So i changed my workflow to take that into account. If I need it closed for a few minutes to move I leave it running and if the time window is greater I turn it off completely. There is always a way, my case is just very specific and I don’t necessarily need it. Anyway, good luck getting it to work the way you like.
Replace screwdrivers with hammers and you get a description of Jeremy Clarkson.
I guess people have grown phobia for the word “AI”. Nobody even looks for the definition and use. Technically anything capable of computation/problem solving can be labeled as such, if we are willing to stretch the rules far enough. Even mechanical computers. But those are not in the spotlight right now.
