Sound update: WHAT THE FUCK CORSAIR. YOUR HEADPHONE JACK WAS THE ROOT CAUSE OF THIS SHIT AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Now I have to check how much github repositories and sudo apt installs I've bloated on my main SSD.

do you have a previous snapshot you can roll back to?

I genuinely have no idea why dedicated in and out jacks are even a thing anymore. If combo jacks are cheap enough to put in budget phones and laptops, they should certainly be cheap enough to put in desktop cases.

Its because apparently someone mentioned it on reddit of all places.
I had the exact same issue until I noticed other 4000D owners are having the same problem with the help of this thread. I then remembered mic input is the first thing to go if a 3.5mm jack isn't seated properly. This case has an absurdly stiff audio/mic port. Lay into that thing with all your might and it will pop into place with a loud snap.

Man fuck it. I'm uninstalling xfce and going for Cinammon. I'm getting a fucking headache trying to set shit up.

Even if you've already figured out what your issue was upthread, your first instinct when using Linux goes wrong shouldn't be to just nuke the DE and move on to something else. It is mainly responsible for your visuals and GUI shit. Start with reading which components are responsible for your headache by consulting the Arch/Gentoo/Debian wikis (in that order) and check which of the packages handling said components you actually have installed.

nah, it's more fun to uninstall and reinstall packages until you bork your system and have to reinstall it from scratch and this time you do it completely right from the start

i believe it inherited that from gnome, and it's for something stupidly important like mouse tracking

Yeah the foot team got rid of Javascript cursor rendering recently from the latest versions of the foot desktop.

It's still utterly disgusting that this was a fleeting thought in some committees mind: "hey what if we used a javascript engine for the cursor?".

Cinnamon only has a single option to disable the compositor on fullscreen programs, which means dick all because Street Fighter 6 doesn't even have a fullscreen option.

Well that's probably the issue then. If you still have XFCE installed swap back to that, turn the compositor off and see what performance you get.

Thank you for the suggestion, but I'm going to go ahead and say fuck that. I shouldn't have to do all this shit and basically turn my computer back into Windows 98' just for it to not be shit.

I'll wait for a normie distro with KDE 6 to move to nvidia's 555 driver and see if that fixes anything. If not I'll try again in a year and see if this has become any less retarded.

Aren't you deliberately using Wayland? If you choose to participate in the Gorehabba festival, expect to be covered in shit.

It's two menus, maybe three. Certainly quicker and less involved than reinstalling the OS, especially if you're going back to Windows.

Even with the things Wayland's supposed to excel at, it fucks everything else up so frequently that X11 is always less agonizing to use.

If Wayland doesn't shit itself over me using fractional scaling and doesn't fuck over my performance then so be it. X11 is seems to be cause of my current issues.
 
Moved to Fedora Silverblue (KDE version) because OpenSuSE seems like they're trying to make it clear they don't care about KDE.

Besides enabling the Flathub repo (I don't know how Fedora expects you to use that ghost town of a default repo) any recommend tweaks?
 
How difficult would it be to migrate a Linux Mint install to LMDE? Like if you're going from LM21.3 to LMDE6 so that the packages are newer. What would all be involved?
