Piracy is a service issue, and the pirates do not provide good service for the penguin. Ironically, the penguin is feeding the corpos.
whats the best distro to use with nvidia? don't say mint
>>729360943Nobara or Cachy
>>729360943poposultramarine
>>729360943Bazzite.
>>729361209>>729360984>>729361236>5 different answerssigh
>>729361248Yup, sounds like a Linux thread.
>>729361248Those are all bad, install Gentoo
i pirate everything on linux thoughbeit
>>729361248>No usecase given, just a suboptimal hardware requirementIt's like expecting a single answer when asking how to join two pieces of wood and being disappointed when the answer is more varied and complicated than just holding them in place until someone comes along to staple them together.
>>729360714>download a repack>install using Wine>go to Steam>add non-Steam gamewow that was difficult
>>729361587ok>good with nvidia>can run online video games without delay (this is an issue on mint which i currently use)>easy to learn and understand package manager>breaks the least
>>729360943I shouldn't use mint if I have a nvidia gpu? I dont play much modern games.
>>729362040no, do not do that
>>729362081Oh...i was really looking forward to installing mint some time next year
>>729360943Pop os just got a new desktop environment that looks even better than a mac AND THEY MADE A RELEASE THAT'S SPECIFICALLY TAILORED FOR NVIDIA, linux reached levels of just workiness that shouldn't even be possible, if you can't do something on linux you don't know how to do it in windows either.https://system76.com/pop/download/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOp7g7BNzRE>>729361248>>729361274Shut the fuck up vermin, xubuntu if you have a toaster, mint is the catchall distro, pop os/zorin/bazzite/garuda? if you have 8gb of ram and want the mac os look.Imagine being such an autist you spend your days glued to the computer being disingenuous about linux and not having any real argument against it, I hope you're bots.
>>729360714Anyone who says "corpo" unironically I automatically assume the opposite of what they are saying is true. The use of "corpo" tells me so much about you that I know you will never have anything of value to say.
>>729362310>SMASH THE SYSTEM!>TAKE BACK THE STREETS! >*orders mcdonalds on ubereas on an iPhone*
>>729362236homOSeX looks like shite m8
>>729362310>I FUCKING LOVE BIG TECH! I WILL SWALLOW EVERY POZZED LOAD THEY SHOOT INTO MY MOUTH BECAUSE I AM A CORPOSISSY! I OWN NOTHING AND I AM HAPPY!wtf are you ok bro?
>>729361248they are all legit except for nobara, which is trash.
>>729362462>corpoThere's that word again, and wouldn't you know the opposite is true.>broAnother dead giveaway that absolutely nothing you say will ever have value.
>>729362498>except for nobara, which is trashWhy
>>729362608it makes stupid decisions like using apparmor instead of selinuxthe dev in charge is a retard it's buggy mess and he uses ai slop now
OOOOOOOOOOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO OH NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO GAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA......
>>729360943I don't understand this questionwhy do you want to switch? Microsoft bad?Nvidia worse
>>729361248bazzite is immutable, which means you can't change anything important in the system, using this one if you're retarded and think you're gonna fuck uppop os is older and more mature distro, you'll be able to mess around with your system if you want, but I think most things will have some gui "just werks" interface.Cachyos is newer, and it's based on arch, which means you'll get all the new updates faster than in the others, and you'll get access to the AUR so you're probably gonna most things you want there. But it's easier to fuck things up, or get an update that breaks things. If you're gonna use it I recommend using the BTRFS file type and learning how to make snapshots of your system. There's even a GUI tools for that pre installed.So you're picking between >So stable it's immutable >Stable if you're not a retard>Gives you access to the most software, but might breakYou'll probably be fine in any if you just use browsers and steam though.
>>729362839Which is funny cause just recently their store team proudly announced that they finally managed to rewrite their entire thing to be .net focused.Which means the different parts of Microsofts software departments do not communicate with eachother at all.You have one team re-writing everything one way while another one is already planning rewrites into a different language. And you wonder why Windows is such a massive shitshow these days.
>>729362839Why don't most linux devs see that the push for rust is not natural? Most private companies are doing it without thinking now, this isn't some cool new language that is getting traction, it's being pushed hard by the market. And they're using that more permissible license that doesn't require it to be free now. My theory is that microsoft is tired of making their own OS, so they're gonna hijack linux, close source it and sell it back to retards.
>>729362839it will be written by AI and checked by indiansvery good coding sirsif you're still using windows you're literally mentally retarded.
>>729363235>Which means the different parts of Microsofts software departments do not communicate with eachother at all.It leaked out a little while ago that google said the only way to increase revenue at this point is to actively make the product worse so people have to spend more time interacting with it to accomplish what they want.Wouldn't surprise me if Microsoft is taking a similar approach because they're that dumb.
>>729363410Later down the line they will have no choice but to do it - many parts of MS openly admit they don't know how shit even works anymore on Windows. So why not just outsource that shit to Linux developers who do it for free? You take Linux - package it your way - ship it with your exclusively slop/spyware - and just make sure those compatibility layers keep working through your "Windows" distro. At this point Linux can basically run anything Windows anyway with the exception of kernel level garbage - which is gonna end soon as well due to MS planning to remove kernel-level access for third parties.
>>729361983The "problem" with an easy to learn and understand package manager is that you can install things that are conflicting or require maintenance that can result in needing to catch up on that maintenance later after a failure. A stable system like Debian won't change the functionality of packages much between major releases, but that leaves the system fairly limited unless you expand the package manager, which just reintroduces the problem of maintenance.Arch with some CachyOS packages (there's a script to add them in the CachyOS install guide) is probably still the option that meets most criteria, just remember to read the news section and keep a rescue USB if it turns out that you should have updated your GRUB config after an update or something.>Why not specifically CachyOS?It's more difficult to diagnose specific issues when the base system that would be functional with the software differs from your system. Fixing compatibility issues like this offers a clearer path forward, because the variables can be isolated.>>729362839>Microsoft fails the salt spray test>>729363410Here's hoping that decompilation becomes more prevalent and copyright is abolished before society fails the salt spray test and is rewritten in Rust. Software development can't happen without the potential for rampant forking.
>>729360943It doesn't matter
>>729363993>just remember to read the news section and keep a rescue USB if it turns out that you should have updated your GRUB config after an update or something.Some pacman helpers like pikaur fetch the news on update and tell you if there's something that requires manual intervention.
>>729361248>Your knowledge of computers doesn't exceed the average?Use Linux Mint>Did you live through the Windows XP era and aren't afraid to tinker with the OS?Use EndeavourOS>You know more than the average and don't mind spending long hours in the terminal?Use Arch Linux or Gentoo>You don't do doomposting on 4chan?Pick whatever flavor you want
>>729360943Windows 11.
>>729364480i actually considered endeavour for a while.
>>729360714Just run the installer with proton via lutris or steam? What's the issue here?
>>729360714I'm just not buying games. Not gonna happen.>pay for a game>in 6 months it gets a new DLC, pay up again paypiggieI'm good. cs.rin.ru/forum won.
I'm on linux but it's not without its rough edgesI have to worry about kernel versions. I have crashes I never experience on Windows with my GPU. I have to run my games under a different fucking compositor to actually get similar input latency. It's not straightforward, not at all. Unless you have some more basic setup. And performance is nothing impressive at all, I have not found a single game running equal or better (on a full AMD build). It doesn't bother me and opening applications/the file manager and such are really fast at least. But it's not winning me over the way some people would tell me it would?
>>729360943Bazzite if retarded, cachyos if not
>>729366634>I have to worry about kernel versionsnice larp retard
>>729360714Well, yeah. Corpos use Linux on their server side, or rather FreeBSD.
>>729367109I'm on 6.12 right now because 6.18 gives me nothing but issues, you stupid fucking nigger.
>>729366634>I have to worry about kernel versions>>729367175sure bud
>>729366634>I have to worry about kernel versions.kek how? the only kernel issue i have are 100% skill issues since i forget about making a new grub config almost every time i do a kernel upgrade
>>729367305>>729367442I'm actually starting to believe you're the LARPers hereHave you ever used a linux distro for more than a week?
>>729367473NTA but I've been on linux for a year now and I have literally never looked at my kernel version. I just click update once in a while and keep playing my games.
>>729367442I use grub-hook from AUR for updating grub config after kernel updates.
>>729367667Ok so you hadn't, I guess that means that nobody could ever have a problem.
>>729367779I dunno what to tell you man, I'm a fucking retard and yet I've never had the issue that you seem to think is very common
>>729367473im using the same installation for 1.5 years now
>>729367779It makes it pretty unlikely because you haven't even said what the problem was. Also others would be having the same problems.
>>729367473>Have you ever used a linux distro for more than a week?switched to arch a year and a half ago, the only breakage I've ever had was AwesomeWM malfunctioning due to some lua library api change. but still that was kinda on me because I'm still using the stable version of the wm that's no longer developed instead of the git version. Anyway, the stable awesome package was updated like 2 days later and everything is cool and good.I don't know what the fuck you morons do with your systems but everytime someone complains about issues in linux, it turns out the user was doing some stupid shit and when asked about details, said moron stops respondingI find that hard to believe that you have some extraterrestial GPU that somehow is very picky about kernels. you probably did some stupid shit with the drivers and an older kernel version just side-steps the actual issue
>I've never suffered from that problem so it cannot be real
>resorts to jakpostinglollmao, even
>>729364480I'll do either EndeavourOS or CachyOS, since I can't stand archinstall.
>>729360714>Operating system that has all the emulators >You can't pirateOk, doubt it.
I literally love Linux so much bros.
>>729367897>>729367959https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=311085https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/4765https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/4723These are things that get patched out and eventually fixed, but what the hell is this horseshit about "user problem" like motherfucker, do you think these websites only exist for people to complain? What is this disingenuous bullshit?
>Pascal GPUI guess It's time for this machine to move from Arch to Fedora
>>729369049works on my company machine
>>729362310Anyone who says, "unironically" is a girly mouthed bitch made faggot
Linux is based and all, but fuck Bottles. Piece of shit doesn't work if I start it from .desktop, plenty of issues, wine tools never work through it. Absolute trash and I never use itfor anything other than erotic games
>>729360943opensuse, anyone suggesting a meme distro like nobara, cachy or bazzite only moved to linux a week ago and has no idea what they're talking about, literal newfags. i feel pity for anyone who fell for the memes instead of just installing mint, fedora, or opensuse>inb4 "but i use arch doe"running archinstall or mindlessly copying commands from the wiki is not an accomplishment
>>729366947more like >bazzite if retarded>cachyos if you're also retardeda bunch of wintards jumping ship to meme distros over the past few months does not magically make the meme distros good.
>>729366947this
>>729367959amazing, finally someone who actually used awesomewm
>>729371964>running archinstall or mindlessly copying commands from the wiki is not an accomplishmentYes, that is sort of the point of the most beginner and retard friendly unstable OS.
>>729367959Ah, the classic lua breakage. I too used awesome for a couple of years back in the mid '10s but ultimately moved to i3 for that exact reason and later sway when wayland got good enough.
>>729369750Or you can just install the legacy driver from aur.
>>729373379Or install Gentoo
>>729372076By the time cachyos gets discontinued (which is highly unlikely given its massive gains) you should be able to easily switch to arch repos or hop to arch
The number one thing against piracy these days, is honestly at most, there's like $60 of "Good Videogame" coming out at most.Basically the only good shit that came out this year was the new Katamari game and, surprisingly, the Pac Man World 2 remake.Maybe Crossworlds if you can tolerate Denuvo and anticheat malware shit and don't know you can just play Sonic And Sega Allstars Racing Transformed since it uses Steam Multiplayer and Just Werkz
>>729369750that shit scared me for a second, but I have a 1660 so I'll still get updates for a while.fuck nvidia, if I knew I would be moving to linux I wouldn't have bought them a decade ago.
>>729360943>with nvidiaNone, blame nvidia.
>>729370597Looks like I got under your skin lmao
>>729361248Grab a random distro, because you'll have a thousand Linux autists complaining about whichever one you decide on and the differences between them are either visual, so incredibly minor that you'll never notice, or some shit that doesn't affect 95% of users.
>>729360714>hydra exists
>>729360714Do they need to? Just run setup.exe from any launcher > next > next > install (this if it isn't portable). As easy as on Windows, decencies like vcrun2022 easily installed with winetricks.
>>729360714I don't mind piracy but my worry would be that I tend to play really weird games.>old games that require patcher .exes, custom mod launchers and extra .dlls to work the best>old VNs>niche H games that japs posted on twitter as an .exedesu half this shit barely works on Windows as it is and it requires enough tinkering that I'm not excited about adding wine shit to the mixI guess I'll have to find out eventually when win10 gets too old but not quite yet
Tried linux mint xfce on my laptop with igpu I5 8th gen and amd 530 dgpu, thing runs like shit. While it can still run windows 11. Unironically what the fuck am I doing wrong here?
>>729374217The good news is that in another few years NVK will be competitive and I'll be able to chuck the binary drivers in a dumpster where they belong.
>>729375453>AMD dGPUDRI_PRIME=1 to run on the dedicated cardFor games running in WINE with dxvk/vkd3d extra steps are necessary
>>729362040You shouldn't use Mint in general. Everybody telling you to use Mint is a boomer regurgitating 2017 Reddit posts who has absolutely no idea about how cozy modern Linux is. Just install literally any distro with KDE Plasma 6 and you'll be fine.
>>729373835You can just start with Arch and add CachyOS packages.It's less of a headache.
>>729376134How is installing Arch, which doesn't even have a GUI installer, then manually adding CachyOS packages, then maintaining it all yourself, less of a headache than just installing CachyOS?
>>729375384>old games that require patcher .exes, custom mod launchers and extra .dlls to work the bestUsually needs a little tinkering through Lutris/protontricks, nothing too bad.>old VNs>niche H games that japs posted on twitter as an .exeGo here:https://www.vnwiki.xyz/
>>729372076you can call it meme jumping ship, but I'm having an absolute blast with my bazzite. I never learned so much about computers in my life, everything "just" works, and everything is just the same as it was when I was on windows 10, but way more suited to my needs and under my control. I'm glad I jumped ship.
>>729376379Rice that shit nigga, floating taskbars are cringe
>>729376734it auto unfloats when I maximize any apps, and ricing is for people who don't have sex, so, no
>>729360943Bazz
>CachyOSwhy is everyone shilling this spyware distro?
>>729376894What spyware?
>>729376894Spyware???
>>729376894Care to elaborate?
>>729376894Because it's literally arch but better and arch is already the best baseNow prove the spyware claims
>>729360943>>729361248>Hey everyone, what's your favorite color?>Multiple answers?! UGH...They can all run the same games, and the differences between them (e.g. system stability versus package upgrade frequency) are sufficiently subjective that you'd be an idiot to believe unironically that this of all things would be the one subject on which the internet can unanimously agree.
>>729360943any you like as long as you don't use wayland
>>729360943>novideo stick to windows
>>729376027>Just install literally any distro with KDE Plasma 6 and you'll be fineOnly if you like wild rides at the theme park, in most cases, this will be the most unstable choice of DE, you'd be unironically better with cinnamon or gnome.
>>729378706>this will be the most unstable choice of DE????????????????????????Why do people repeat KDE 4 memes in 2025?
>>729376894Because it supports LGBTQ+ folx.
>>729363410so basically what Apple did with BSD turned into MacOS.
>>729376894it's good. also being bleeding edge is necessary if you have an nvidia card
>>729379897Name the distro worth a shit that doesn't
>>729376894One click button installs all the shit neededSnapshots properly setup out of the box, so you can finally ditch openSUSEBleeding edge stillCauses less trouble than Memejaro, so AUR is not unusableOnly distro where my better controller actually worksNext to nothing gets in the way, codecs all installed, everything all done, if something fails I can actually fucking fix it with no extra steps
