What you're describing used to be right under X11, but under Wayland the compositor handles all rendering itself. For Gnome that's mutter, which is also maintained by the gnome project.
Do you often hear the ringing of switching power supplies and devices when you are in a quiet space?
Seriously, stop being an asshole. Coil whine is a well-documented behaviour that creates a loud, high pitched noise.
As coil whine is at the very limit of what human hearing can accomplish, it doesn't take much until you're unable to hear it. So you're likely too old or went to too many concerts to be able to hear it.

Good ears? the question is when, not where, and the answer is half a lifetime ago.
It's just like those shitty recipe sites that tell you their grandma's life story for hours before giving the recipe. Get to the point, who cares about the anecdotes of some writer?
I don't want to connect with everyone always everywhere. It's just like small talk, which may be acceptable or even essential in some cultures, while considering rude and wasteful where I'm from.
4 different "buy nitro" "try new animated stickers" "have you bought a new profile background yet?" popups at the same time are also ads.
Fast? Clean? The new app is a stuttery, cluttered mess with more ad popups than a 2010 video streaming site and more framedrops than crysis. Until a few days ago I still used the oooold app and it was much better.
Don't SteamVR tools work on linux as well? Not that it'd help in your situation, where you're stuck with proprietary GPU drivers and proprietary VR tools.
Why so? AMD supports Wayland just fine, while having good enough performance. As a VR dev, AMD still including a USB C port on GPUs should actually be even more convenient for you.
Considering that reading source code can take a long time
You'll get faster over time, until reading code is faster than reading documentation, as code will always represent what's truly happening, while docs are frequently outdated.
In a language the user isn't familiar with
If you're not that familiar with the language, it's likely you won't be contributing to the project. Open source projects usually to have quite limited resources, so they tend to optimize docs and dev UX for people who are likely to contribute.
Also note that even a dual boot system is leaky. A kernel level anticheat has enough power to do firmware upgrades on peripherals or the UEFI, so a badly behaving kernel level anticheat could easily take over your entire system in a way that can never be gotten rid of.
So how do you juggle having to see dozens of windows at the same time then?
I'm a software dev as well.
But I often layer multiple windows in the same tile of the screen. e.g. I may have the IDE with the software I'm working on in one tile, the IDE with the library source code I'm working with in the second tile, and a live build of the app in the third tile. But I've also got documentation, as a website, in the same tile as the IDE with the lib's source.
Now when I switch between the IDE with the lib's source, and the browser with the lib's documentation, I only want that tile to change. No problem, with KDEs taskbar and window switcher I can quickly do that.
But when using the applications menu on Gnome I get a disrupting UI across all screens that immediately rips me out of whatever I was doing.
Why'd you have to use TC? KDEs dolphin can do all that natively.
Personally, configuring KDE was much simpler and more robust compared to the dozen addons I needed for Gnome, which also broke every now and then after updates.
I tried that, but IMO it's much simpler and more robust to just configure KDE than to install a dozen Gnome extensions that end up broken after updates anyway.
Unless you're writing ruby on rails on a 13" macbook, you'll run into Gnome's limitations when working.
Gnome is in many ways so focused that it makes a lot of productivity use impossible. You always have to open the menu to launch software, you've got no system tray, and worst of all, Gnome apps are so simplified that you constantly run into the limitations when using it productively.
When working with dozens of windows open at the same time across multiple monitors, I'm a fan of KDE. And KDE apps tend to also have all the extra features I need to handle weird situations, files, and edge cases.
The 50€ Patreon tier perks include "everything ad-free". And there's no repo or source available anywhere.
WTF
If you can only have a good experience by installing malware, you don't have a good experience.
I really should finish building that nvidia jetson based hardware anticheat that'd allow anyone to cheat even in vanguard protected games with perfect accuracy for just ~150$. Ring 0 anticheat's only use is to spy on you and yet people will continue defending it until someone's proven just how useless it is.
With that, the Germans will have finally won /s
The 5th booster brought my sense of smell back for a month, but it quickly disappeared again :/
Just go ahead with the tutorial. Kotlin is basically identical to Java with only tiny changes, and you can just look those up whenever you see something new.
