What were the actual results of your survey?

I don't see DFS around, either -- how did you gather the data?

Just keeping you honest-to-form, gentle sir. ;)

I have been transitioning back to a Linux desktop, now
that everything I want to run, runs fine on Linux.  This includes
things like outlook365 for those very few times that I need to log
into it for work.

The Linux zoom client has added the virtual background
capabilities that kept me using Windows.

The Linux Teams client does everything fine, once you
get used to it showing up as "skype" in pavucontrol,
the pulse audio volume control.

The frame-rate drops I'm seeing in Elite Dangerous Odyssey
are also reported for people running the Windows client
natively on Windows.  (I'm using Steam's Steamplay to play
the Windows client on Linux.)  When there isn't something
suboptimal going on with the display, I get my 60 fps.

Note for people trying gaming on Linux:  if you use Steamplay,
and things seem jittery, I recommend trying it with the
preemptive, low-latency kernel build for your distribution.
