I rarely see any comments on any Gnome posts here actually.

I'm excited too and also use KDE. I'm not certain I will ever switch, but like other commenters. I am concerned with how long it may take before I consider it to be usable. Not to mention there are certain really cool features that KDE has that I would like to replicate over there before I even think of switching.

I think we need uncompromising people in this world. Doesn't mean we have to listen or follow everything they say though. Those are my thoughts on GNU.

As someone who tries to look under the hood for a lot of the open source software I run, one thing that I have noticed is that there are a lot of cases where the general sentiment seems to be port to what. Wayland still doesn't support a number of things that some applications require. A lot of developers that I have interacted with would rather have the app run through XWayland rather than have a wayland version of the app with less features or certain features grayed out.

In the case of one project in paticular, that being the Sunshine game streaming project. I have personally witnessed. Them implementing a solution for wlroots based compositor. Having that solution eventually break as wlroots based projects deprecate the protocol they were using in favor of a new one and now that protocol is looking like it too is old news and is going to be deprecated in favor of a newer and better protocol. What I am getting at here is that protocols not existing isn't the only problem, but things are still very much in development. Even applications that implemented wayland support are being put in positions where they need yet another rewrite because things are far from finalized and still moving pretty fast.

I think I have so many little privacy tweaks over the years that even when I disable ublock origin on Phoronix. It still thinks I am using an ad blocker.

And here I have just been using samba.

I also have a 3080 and have been considering switching to AMD, but with the problems you describe. Maybe, I'll give Intel's offerings a shot assuming the graphics cards don't suffer the same way their cpu's are right now.

Weird, I haven't had any issues since I bought it on steam whenever the official release was.

Good for them. Hope more follow suit.

Why not write a script that does that and set it to run on boot?

The whole samba filenames thing is configurable. I only use linux systems and I ran into that same issue.

By default samba seems to mangle file names. Not to mention that Windows systems don't tend to support naming your files whatever you want the same way they do on linux so we need to map those characters to something else. To solve this I include a few different entries in my samba config file to fix the issue.

mangled names = no
vfs objects = catia
catia:mappings = 0x22:0xa8,0x2a:0xa4,0x2f:0xf8,0x3a:0xf7,0x3c:0xab,0x3e:0xbb,0x3f:0xbf,0x5c:0xff,0x7c:0xa6

That's just if you choose to go with samba. I only use it cause it was easier to setup than NFS when I tried.
