I’m new to having Linux on my main rig. It’s been about a month now. I’m hoping someone has a better way to handle focus while gaming.
I used to, on Windows 10, hit the Windows key to then fiddle with my panel and other opened programs (or alt+tab). In Linux Mint, I have the issue that the Super key doesn’t focus the panel and menu, only the menu. I know the reasons for this but functionally It is what I wish it did.
On top of that, alt + tab yanks the cursor to the center of the game screen after initially swapping to the other program. Pushing the super key alone does this as well. But ctrl+alt+down does allow me to swap focus, but it isn’t as quick to do.
I’m new so I’m thinking maybe there is a better way to quickly swap focus or even better to kill it from centering the mouse on the game occasionally when swapping around.

Not sure if this would help, but I’ve found it nice separating my open programs between workspaces. Game on one and other programs in side tabs. Can quickly access the panel by switching workspaces.
Does take a bit of self-adjusting to how it works on Windows as you need to organize in your mind which program is in which workspace.
