Well for my poweredge server I ran Ubuntu on it, and my pis Raspbian. As far as desktop/laptop I use Arch, not for stability though it has been stable for my use case but more so for a bleeding edge up to date experience.

As far as the services I ran, they were for media consumption, and some other network tools.

Thank you, I will chexk this out

What was it doing for you when you switched back to x11?

I haven't explored KVM as an option. Yet, but I am going to be investigating that for my own use case now.

Outside of my laptop and desktop, I did run a Dell PowerEdge (forget the model, but I have a singular Xeon and 64gb of ram in it along with hardware based raid and 8 hdd bays.) that I ran Ubuntu on, but I realized Ubuntu wasn't the way to go for me due a number of things. So I shut the server down and will be reinstalling another OS on, I haven't decided yet but maybe Fedora for that. It was just being used to run Docker and Portainer, which I had a good chunk of docker containers running. I had a reverse proxy, Jellyfin, Gluetun, uptime kuma, signal messaging bot for uptime kuma to let me know if a services went down, photoprism, kanboard, a wiki, and a few other services.

U til you mentioned Guitarix I wasn't even familiar with that software. Unfortunately I don't believe there is any connectivity between PowerCab or my Helix with guitarix. But Guitarix could still be handy to me. Thank you!

Thank you so much for the suggestionsm I absolutely will be investigating this.

Thank you for sharing. I will be looking 8nto this for myself and my setup when I am back to my desk.

One can only hope. That is the route I would prefer. But we shall see if it is practical for me!

That's what I might end up doing. I don't care as much about the RGB on it as I do functionality. As long as they can go off, I have zero issue with that.

Been using Arch with KDE on my Lenovo Yoga, both Wayland and X11 depending 9n what I want to accomplish. Though it lead me down the rabbit hole of Weston so that I could run Waydroid from within X11. Ultimately I just decided Wayland basically when I am not using my touchpad or when I want to run Waydroid.

Year of the Linux desktop, LFG!

I will for sure check out this link.

I do have to ask though, are you using X11 or Wayland?

My issue had to due with multi monitor support with wayland with KDE. It could be very specific to my preferences, in which case I have few options. Change preference, or stick to what I am doing. I vote, I will try something different.

With Linux, Nvidia wasn't always bad as far as support goes. Now though, yes, I would agree this is an Nvidia issus for me.

Next time I build a PC I likely will just out of the necessity for consistent driver support in linux. Though AMD cards in windows have always given me lesser results.

I definitely appreciate your response. I truly want to ditch windows, it would be easy without my music hardware though a VM with USB passthrough may be the ticket. The issues I had with Arch and my 3090 were really with trying to go the wayland route. Though that was over a year ago I gave that a shot. I could try again, but since then I have gotten more familiarized with running arch on other systems. I have tried many other distros, and none quite catch me quite like arch.

For my server I have already ditched windows, and went with a ubuntu server. Though I will be changing distros to something else due to differences in opinion with the way Ubuntu and Canonical conduct themselves. I would still rather see people use Ubuntu over windows, but that's not much of a bar to pass.

I may eventually check the forums if this time doesn't pan out with using arch on my main rig.

When I get Arch up and running I will be checking this out.

I may do a VM as I have to find a way to utilize my specialized music gear. I do have to say thank you for pointing me in the direction of Liquidctl though, I want to consider that.

If I happen to find a fix, or work around for that issue mentioned I will reach out. I did have Arch running on this machine once, but I didn't tinker with OpenRGB for my lighting at that point.

OpenRGB seems to be consensus on how to handle this.

Why do you say that? I already run this rig with windows, it's just a matter of ditching microsoft as a whole.

Funny enough, last time I tried to do the whole 2 systems, I had Arch (with GRUB) on one nvme, and windows 11 on another nvme. At some point, all drives were unbootable. I am lucky I had my important data backed up, and on a separate drive anyways.

I had thought about it, but I really want to ditch anything windows.
