Opinions?

btrfs?
ubuntu numb nuts
>>100192236yuck
>snap>gnomeit's shit
the new installer is a steamy pile of shit, way less options to choose compared to the good ol' ubiquity, you can't even make encrypted volumes from partitioning menu, the only encrypted options are outdated ext4 and experimental out-of-tree zfs, so canonical probably keeps pushing their techs of choice even more at the expense of fan favorites like my go-to btrfs wrapped in luksit's hard pass, I'll just check the new pop!_OS with COSMIC when it lands, until then I'll continue using ubuntu 22.04
Since you all are Linux experts whats the best distro if I want to build an AMD gaming machine without Windows
>>100192489>gaming machineUnironically Windows
>>100192501Then how does Steam Deck do it?
>>100192489Steam Deck with SteamOS
>>100192522NTA but even though many games run great on Linux, many games do not, think of AAA titles like BF or COD. So a machine dedicated to gaming is better off running Windows. That said I'm fairly content with gaming on my fedora box, I simply pass on those games it can't run.
>>100192489Fedora if you're able enough to install codecs
>>100192522Depends on the game. Indies tend to run okay for the most part. AAA is very hit or miss when there's DRM or external launchers involved.>t. can't play destiny 2 on his steam deck
>>100192489Arch Linux, that's the only distro 99% of desktop users should be using gamer or no. Plasma for smooth, or Openbox for input latency.
>>100192489ignore Arch btw posters
Linux is finally 4chan compatible!
>>100192522The Apple way - having one static configuration that can be targeted and tested for.You don't want the average Loonix autismonster to play your game and then complain because his customized Loonix distro makes the game crash randomly and you have absolutely no way to find out if it's the freetard graphics card driver he uses, some other driver, if he bypasses the Steam Runtime because "it's bloat" and his shared objects are incompatible with what your game expects, some shitty daemon doing unexpected retardation or whatever other thousands of reasons there are for shit not working on Loonix systems.Developing for Loonix is miserable. There's a reason pretty much everything uses Docker or Flatpack nowadays. And games have to use more obscure functionality than other software that has historically always been broken one way or another.Those who have actually developed production software for Loonix will agree with me.
>>100192659If you're talking about the no thumbnails 'bug', it's still there.The issue is not showing existing thumbnails, but generating them. The file picker does not trigger thumbnail generation. Those thumbnails you see are there because you visited that folder with Nautilus before.
>>100192489any Arch-based distro for gaming. if you want a hassle-free experience try Endeavour
>>100192659literally just a gnome issue, always worked on my xfce>>100192688>The file picker does not trigger thumbnail generationworks on my xfce too
>>100192199Lubuntu guy. No bloat. Works on your 1995 potato.
>>100192753>literally just a gnome issue, always worked on my xfcewebms too?I used kubuntu which had thumbnails for pics but not webms
>>100192840Sounds like a missing codec or something desu, using gnome here and I get thumbnails.
>>100192840>webms too?yes
>>100192753How? I thought the thumbnail meme was an issue with GTK that affected all DEs that used that toolkit.
>>100192912gtk3-patched-filechooser-icon-view & glib2-patched-thumbnailer on the AUR(and ffmpeg-thumbnailer for the anon above who doesn't have webm thumbnails, though that one came installed out of the box for me)
>>100192489Arch linux with GPU passthrough to malware VM known as windows
>>100192356This. Ubuntu remains the biggest absolute fucking retard filter.
>>100193316except both of those things are fine
>>100192199>Opinions?trash>btw.
>>100192489there is no "best gaming distro", they all use the same>proton>wine
>>100192256Doesn't it protect against corruption? I kinda want it.
>>100194069It doesn't even kill your wife.
