Additionally, what changes are necessary for you to be able to use Linux full time?

    These are my list of changes. I still don’t use it full-time but I use it outside working hours. I use Ubuntu 23.04 and I dual boot with windows 11:

    Install gnome extensions and “dash to panel”

    Install Chrome from google site (.deb package)

    Same for Steam

    Install mangohud sudo apt install mangohud Source: https://github.com/flightlessmango/MangoHud#debian-ubuntu

    Disable Intel Bluetooth device so the realtek one is the only one. (Now there is a new option to also disable Intel Wifi adapter in the same word~ document).

    Change default display for “Lockscreen”

    Change the local time ( timedatectl set-local-rtc 1 --adjust-system-clock enabled RTC in local time.

    For Ryujinx I added this “vm.max_map_count=524288” to /etc/sysctl.conf because it was saying it fixes a crash with TOTK

    Disk Performance (System hanging with encryption on the SSD): Disabled the ‘no-read-workqueue" and “no-write-workqueue” sudo gedit /etc/crypttab Added “discard” “no-read-workqueue” and “no-write-workqueue” at the end of the string.Looks like this: dm_crypt-0 UUID=4170cddc-59a8-4f4e-afdb-125f70004fef none luks,discard,no-read-workqueue,no-write-workqueue sudo update-initramfs -u -k all sudo reboot

    Enable OC en AMD card (Source: https://linuxgamingcentral.com/posts/increase-power-on-amd-gpus/) sudo gedit /etc/default/grub Somewhere in that file should be a GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= line, followed by a pair of quotation marks. In my case it looks like this: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=“quiet splash” We add amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xffffffff at the end. Example: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=“quiet splash amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xffffffff” Sudo update-grub

    Install codec bluetooth AAC for Pixel Buds (codec is lighter than SBC-XQ)

    Be sure that bluetooth dongle MPOW is on USB2 and no USB3 which causes interferences (at least in Linux I can suffer it, but not in Windows).

    Do the tutorial to make BT devices to work with “Dual Boot” between Ubuntu and W11 without needing to re-pair them everytime (for dualsense and pixelbuds).

    Enable AMD ROCM (used to run apps like SDXL).
