Make Use Of ☛ These 3 tools made my dual-monitor Linux setup seamless
I finally did it. After running into a few extra issues on my Windows 11 installation, I finally went full nuclear and switched over to Bazzite as my full-time operating system. While the majority of things have been surprisingly seamless, one thing I needed to do was reconfigure my dual-monitor setup to match or exceed what I had on Windows.
Immediately after booting into Linux, there were a few things that I noticed that needed to go the way of the dodo, and quickly. But between system tweaks and a few tools to help reintroduce features I fell in love with when using PowerToys, my Linux setup feels just as natural as it ever has.

New Linux scheduler patches improve frame rates on low-end PCs
Intel Linux kernel engineer Peter Zijlstra developed a series of experimental patches for the task scheduler aimed at improving overall system performance. The primary goal of this work was to eliminate inefficiencies in the cgroup scheduling code when distributing workloads, especially as the number of cores increases. The developer proposed changes that smooth out hierarchical task selection and optimize CPU resource allocation under highly concurrent workloads.
