Install cachyOS with flatpak discover and install apps with one click.
Install bazzite with bazaar and install apps wiith one click.

Alternatively just pick the defaults in arch and use arch install with KDE plasma.

You have no excuse we have a windows 11 competitor that is faster, lightweight and better which is actually functional.

Stop using windows spyware.

I'm moving away from windows to ubuntu, any suggestions for HDR? I have oled monitor and want to see colors.

nothing, stick to SDR

>>107700730
KDE, Hyprland and GNOME are the only real WMs that support it currently, though the COSMIC devs are working on it. Don't use GNOME though. Also don't use Ubuntu.
>>
>>107700301
Most forks are a meme. I would say Arch, Debian and Fedora are the only actual good options. Although some Fedora Atomic flavors are quite useful as well.

>>107700759
Well, my time isn't free and I don't want to endlessly fiddle to make frameworks/games work.

Ubuntu is the recommended system for nvidia Sionna and most of other frameworks and proton works on it already.

On the other hand I use GNOME and I'm bored by it. KDE plasma looks cool. I'm also not sure about X11 vs Wayland stuff. Chatgpt says X11 supports HDR but I don't see it in ubuntu.
>>
>>107700730
Ubuntu has only experimental HDR support right now. It will probably get better in 2026, when 26.04 LTS releases.

I'd recommend a rolling release distro instead, if HDR support is mandatory. If HDR is still sketchy with 26.04, you'd be stuck with it until at least the next point release or even until the next LTS release.

Also, your options of desktop environments are more limited on Ubuntu right now. KDE still ships with Plasma 5. Just for reference: Plasma 6 was officially released in 2024. Again, rather use a rolling release distro.
>>
>>107700838
>rolling release

I'm not sure about this. I hate windows because it forces too many updates. I feel this will make the distro more fragile. And I really don't want to fix OS related issues/bugs. I can get by without HDR I think. Thanks.
>>
>>107700810
If games are your concern, you definitely shouldn't be using GNOME. It has latency issues and its DRM leasing support is best described as "experimental".
As for Ubuntu, they get recommended by corporations because they're business-friendly and have a pretty unified configuration across devices. The issue is that Canonical consistently makes horrendous decisions (uutils, snaps, etc.), lock everything down and have a storied history of spying on their users.
Fedora is the better "just werks" distro, if you're okay with copy and pasting 2 terminal commands one time to install the non-free codecs.

>I hate windows because it forces too many updates.
not him but i've done rolling release for a long time, about 13 years. it's not like how it is in windows. the main issue with how windows does updates is that it forces you to do it, like the gun slowly makes it's way towards your head and if you leave it long enough they pull the trigger. even on rolling distros you update when you want to. yes there will be more updates more often, but they're usually quite small. basically, just update when you want to. if you're shutting down/restarting, do it if you want to, it's pretty quick, if you don't want to, whatever, do it next time.
>>

problem with the "tech vegan" argument is that there's more than just ethical reasons to use free software

The only way to save your shit OS is to make it more like windows
Sure windows has a few warts but the biggest problem is that it's closed source and owned by kikes

>fix backwards compatibility
it's pretty solid
>make actual alternatives to software people need (NO, your unfinished GTK slop can't replace office)
i'm not a big office suite user, but i haven't had an issue with libreoffice. some people say onlyoffice is good as well, haven't tried it
>make a KISS free and libre QT alternative
that's what GTK was supposed to be, but i can't disagee that's not in a good state
>make a windows-like DE that looks good and doesn't crash (NO, silent crashes are not an option)
there's several of them, depending on your definition of windows-like
>statically link everything
this is both a shit idea AND not like windows, where do you people get this idea from?
>reject everything made by redhat(microsoft) and friends (also microsoft)
most of us already do
>make creating packages retard friendly
how is it not?
>developers host their software
they do
>monthly updoots (only system)
that sounds unnecessarily specific

idk what this means

What backwards compatibility issues does linux have?

AppImages suck, and so do .exes

>ethical reason
both regular vegans and tech vegans (linux users) repeat literally the same faggotry. Both claim that whatever they do is more "ethical", even though its not.
>>107701036
linux trannies are running out of people to groom I guess
>>107701234
all software since late 80s / early 90s is technically owned by kikes. Troonix is not better than that. It is also fucked beyond repair, and even if it was technically possible to repair, its tranny community will most likely never those changes.

It's by design. Distro model is fucking retarded:
>let's take away control over software distribution from the actual stakeholders: software developers and software users and give it to clueless, lazy, unpaid script-kiddies with no accountability instead.
Failure of desktop Linux isn't an unfortunate accident, it's the natural consequence of its wrong fundamentals.

there are no straight white men using Linux

>>107701664
there are, technically, but they all belong to the tranny cabal and are therefore as evil as trannies.
