Are you sure Linux doesn’t support shared GPU memory? I mean if you had an integrated GPU with no strictly reserved memory which is fairly common on cheaper notebooks the GPU has to share the memory with rest of the system. There’s no other way for it to even function.
Gnome seems to still require you to install a browser extension to use Shell Extensions.
You can download the Extension Manager from Flathub. You don’t have to use a browser to install extensions at all.
KDE widgets are fantastic, I love having system monitors in a hidden panel at the top of my screen so I can really easily check system resource usage. I haven’t found anything similar on Gnome yet.
There are extensions for that in Gnome. I would mention “Vitals” or “Astra Monitor” if you want to go overkill.
Konsole by default switches tabs with ctrl tab but Terminal doesn’t and thats basically my only issue with it.
Default Gnome terminal is bad. Even Fedora which is a distro that ships almost every DE without any changes switched from the default Gnome terminal to Ptyxis. Ptyxis is probably still not enough for power users, but at least it has more settings including the ability edit keyboard shortcuts and looks better.
By default on KDE, if you shake your mouse the cursor gets bigger and there doesn’t seem to be a size limit which is so fun to do lol
There’s also an extension for that in Gnome although it probably does not have this funny “feature”.
I think my issue is related with how Acer’s UEFI handles efi files.
I know that this is not a Linux specific problem either, however I didn’t know where else to ask.
AFAIK on most distros and desktop environments the default file manager can read NTFS partitions without any further setup needed.
I dual boot Fedora with secure boot enabled for half a year already on my notebook with exactly 0 problems. Did few Windows updates already.
I know this is probably not a solution to your problem, but maybe:
