Curious on the experiences of those recently migrating to Linux from Windows 10, Intel-based MacOS, etc. How is it being on Linux? Anything surprise or frustrate you?

Regarding alt tab, are you on multiple screens or just one?

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

One screen. It will bring up an application switch widget in the middle of the screen, and I can hold alt and hitting tab to cycle through options, but when I release alt-tab, it does not switch the application.

Yeah that's weird. I tried to replicate it; it worked for a little while, then the game window just auto minimizes every time I try to alt tab it. I end up running my game in Windowed mode mainly so that I can see my task bar at the top and don't experience problems that way.
