I heard back than that the open source driver is pretty much just a layer of abstraction and that most actual code runs in the firmware which is proprietary

Update : i've been trying doom eternal with raytracing for quite some time now and the performance is excelent. It never drops below 144Hz with all settings maxed out at 1080p. I know that doom is really well optimised so don't take this as a general review.

Thanks ! As for your question, no i didn't follow a specific guide. More like multiple ressources here and there. Here are some of them :

It works. You simply need the kde portal and pipewire installed

Pop os uses systemd boot ootb

Pro tip : if you self host use vaultwarden. It's 100℅ compatible with all bitwarden clients but has many more features and is lighter weight

Personally never bought it. (Windows activation script ftw)

Fall guys fortnite and apex (judge me if you want but my broke firend don't wanna try anything else)

I would too, but it play it with firends and they couldn't care less about free software and linux. They just want to play no questions asked

First the powershell is a very good terminal and some even consider it better than bash. And if you're talking about the actual terminal emulator it also became really good with the new windows terminal(which is also open source) it bas many good features and customization options. Also wsl2 IS a VM running on hyper-v. It simply uses a custom kernel optimised for it and the cherry on top of the sunday : you can run gui apps natively (windows 11) with WSLg which uses wayland/xwayland

Ever heard about wofi ? It's basically a rofi clone with wl-roots so it's wayland native. Also it's compatible with rofi configs
