it literally prompts you to enable it and is just one command. I get Linux can be hard, but setting up an entire distrobox just to avoid entering the single command.

Also the only reason it's experimental is because you have to enter that command manually, not because it's any less safe.

There's literally open issues about the lag, im talking about. And even if that didn't exist. It's just bad. It's not intuitive, it doesn't have any of the convenience features that MS word has.

Edit: ok, so I just tried setting up a windows vm again, and it's much faster now, animations are still a bit laggy, but changing some windows and libvirt settings improved performance by a lot. ig it was skill issue? even virtio didn't have the resolution issue I had before, somehow

The libre office issue is literally a known bug https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=152911 and https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/libreoffice-performance-issues-on-linux/114920 etc.

With the VM, I've tried on my laptop (framework 16), my 8600k desktop with rx 580, and gtx 1080

12700k with gtx 1080 and 6700 xt

9800x3d with rx 9070 xt.

Lots of others have the same issues, so please don't gaslight me.

virtio NEVER lets me pick my native resolution either. This has been an issue on all my devices, and has persisted throughout all my PC upgrades.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but it doesn't help that the documentation is so non-existent for what to pick and the specifics for each xml options.

Btw I got the rdp tip from here, and rdp actually allows my native 4k resolution https://www.reddit.com/r/VFIO/comments/1fcs0kj/virtmanager_better_fps/

The performance is horrible for me, even for simple things like word processing, the cursor lag and choppyness makes it extremely frustrating for me.

Ive tried virtio, qxl, vga, and rdp. Rdp is the only one that's usable for me and it's still awful.

The only time it hasn't been bad for me is with GPU passthrough, but that's a huge pain, and I'd rather dual boot instead.

How dare you not take an Authoritarian dictatorship's side just because Trump is bad? Sanctions don't matter! All hail IRGC and Maduro! /s

Windows VMs don't perform well, maybe virtio can fix their awful drivers, but until then that's a waste of time.

Sorry for being crude, but I hate the linux culty gaslighting.

Is there a good word editor on Linux? Because libre office qt lags crazy on plasma wayland, doesn't have auto lists, or horizontal line, requires an extra package for spell check, and OnlyOffice is missing basic formatting, like horizontal lines, has memory leak issues too, and doesn't even allow selecting multiple words at a time. Srsly double clicking selects a word, but dragging unselects it.
