What is a good way to get independent screen scaling? Either in DE or X/Wayland.

The biggest workload is image inference via stable diffusion and rendering via Blender. So for stable diffusion AMD only kind of pushes toward Linus as support on windows is just not there yet.

I've been trying to create products that use inferred images. And yes, I know that AI art can't be copyrighted but the final product can be branded and protected to an extent.

As for going back to Linux, I have always preferred Linux and have just used Windows for work and a few games. Work is done through browsers and remote desktop so no real need for anything powerful just a minimum of two screens for all of the windows to be visible at once. 4 to 6 actually, a chat, a browser, the remote desktop with three windows, and another browser for myself during the lulls in work, and I often run stable diffusion in the background too. If I had the money I'd get a third one and maybe a fourth.

Games are along the lines of Minecraft with my sons around 1 or 2 times a month, some lite emulation, and whatever Epic is giving away that seems cool. So next week I'll play Deus Ex for a few days if it's meh, or until I beat it if I like it. Which means that if Proton/Wine doesn't work for any particular game I don't play it and I don't care. I don't play much anymore anyway, I just don't find a lot of games entertaining like I used to either because I have changed as I got older or games are shit these days. Probably both.

Of course all of the normal browsing and video watching, photo editing, torrents etc...

If you need the full power of your 5700XT, then running it in a VM is always a performance hit, GPU bypass or not.

I said the 1070 would be the one to go through bypass, the 5700XT and rocom's current issues in windows would be the biggest push factor for going back to maining linux again.

Windows has issues that bug the hell out of me and so does linux + whatever DE I use. I miss middle click paste, I still hate file explorer even if it has tabs now, virtual desktops on windows are still too clunky to use well, fuck the start menu from anything after XP, and more. KDE has things that bug me too, windows don't update well on resize, some integration rough spots, as well as some other small things that I can't quite recall at this time because it's been years. Gnome is just commie as fuck, but they at least get system/service integration right, for the ones they let you have. I do like some of the "smaller" DEs too but they often lack some feature I like or are ugly.

Damned if I do, damned if I don't.
