General Linux stuff

Gaming setup

  • Always install Codecs through distro setup tool
  • Run Steam straight after installing distro
  • Run ProtonPlus and add Proton-GE Latest, close ProtonPlus
  • Restart Steam
  • Open Steam Settings
    • Interface: Enable GPU accelerated rendering in web views
    • Downloads: Check everything in Shader Pre-Caching preferably. Updates to installed games: Only update at game launch.
    • Compatibility: Use Proton-GE Latest as default. This is important!

Good applications

  • Joplin for notetaking, like OneNote
  • Beeper for unified chat, with WhatsUp and Signal
  • Thunderbird for mail if using apple. Could use a WebApp instead.

Setting up mail

Written with Apple in mind, which is more fiddly than most.

  1. Use Thunderbird
  2. Use the normal setup, TB will pick up most settings.
  3. After hitting Done, you will need to configure manually to change the Usernam
  4. Username is full e-mail address in all fields
