  • Work very well, almost no bug/failure (maybe 2 year use, popos), has useful tray icon (restart, input debug tool, help, layout change, …).

    I think replicate macos almost perfect from start (not remember, too long ago). Except for alt, alt not work like macos for shortcut and key modify, only shortcut or key modify. But can switch shortcut layout and individual shortcut in config file very easy (even has comment what each shortcut).

    Only customisation i do make some modify alt instead of shortcut alt and make some shortcut for global shortcut (lock screen, switch to tty) in some app because kinto grab and change input before reach DE. And some shortcut i feel better with.

    Kinto use xkeysnail, is full key grabber for x, probably no work on wayland.

    This new security platform, if vendors chose to actually go ahead and use it, could mean the oppositefor Linux gaming, and cause a whole bunch of new headaches when it comes to supporting it regardless of it being via Native Linux games, or Windows games through Wine and Proton. So if anything, I would say that rather than paving the way for Linux gaming to get better, it’s just going to be another hurdle. As annoying as that is.

    Just because some things may move out of the kernel-level, also doesn’t mean things will suddenly work on Linux (or get any easier to support via Wine / Proton). There will be various ways for developers to detect Linux, and continue to block it.

    Just look at Destiny 2 as the easy and simple example here, they very clearly check for and completely block Linux platforms from playing Destiny 2 via Proton with no way around it.

    Roblox is an additional easy example here to really make the point. Their latest anti-cheat is not kernel level, and completely blocks Linux. Something doesn’t need to be in the kernel to block Linux-based systems.
