>half my games dont work>everything crashes when it doesyou guys fucking lied to methis isn't fucking easy
>bazziteWhy did you install a meme distro instead of Arch?
>>733762797no refunds
>>733762797Learn to use this shit on a secondary old machine, make one out of parts you upgraded from in years past, then when you know what you're doing use it for your primary machine.
>>733763000everyone tells me arch is only for linux experts because it breaks all the time when you update
>>733763092>get a 4 year degree in Linux PhD on secondary PC because you can just play your gamesgee...
>>733763127>everyone tells me arch is only for linux experts because it breaks all the time when you updateThey are sucking their own dicks, any retard can install arch or any linux distro just fine.
>>733762797I thought bazzite went to shit last month because an important contributer left?
>>733763137God forbid you have to learn something new because if would stop you from playing your little fucking games. You deserve to never achieve shit in your life. Great news is you are probably more than 1/4 on schedule.
>he fell for the linux memejust use a debloated windows
>>733763760Lol debloated windows is myth to all these zoomers and third world bugs. They could never understand you can pick apart windows and get back that 2gigs they see in task manager being held hostage. Its a mythical world of hackers and people smarter than them.
Congratulations on your transition <3
>>733763467Yes, bazzite trannies bullied out one of the lead developersYou should be using an Arch-based distro anyways like CachyOS, EndeavourOS, or Arch itself
>>733763603>be windows 11 gamer on icelandic snow counting image board >"get troonix get troonix it's easy, games run great and much fun" >try troonix , crashes, shit and not much fun>"what do you want to play your fucking games for? why don't you want to learn a entire new complex OS in between games of Skyrims?"
>>733763760It's that simple
>>733763962I dont use linux, never vouched for linux, think linux gamers are pretty cringe. I use debloated windows 11 pro and in my 34 years of using windows never had a problem i couldnt fix or work around. Todays problems people bitch about with os is alien to me.
>>733762797>BazziteAnother bamboozled tourist lmao.
>>733762797I've been using Nobara for half a year and KDE is getting on my nerves, if I use this as an excuse to try gnome what distro should I get?
>>733764356bazzite gnome
>>733763003Don't listen to this liar. I have already fully refunded OP
>>733764356Try CachyOS, I was on bazzite and it was pissing me off so I went to that and it worked just fine.You can pick basically any DE they offer tons, I picked XFCE for my old laptop and it works perfectly.
>>733762797Lel at linux troons, as bad and jeet as windows is only way I'm switching is if Gaben releases steamOS for PCs I can't be fucked to tinker with shit just to play bing bing wahoo
>>733764501Why did you pick CachyOS and why did Bazzite piss you off?Genuinely asking, gonna replace my windows Legion Go with a Linux OS, not sure which one atmLeaning towards Bazzite because it's a handheld for mostly gaming
>>733764616SteamOS is just Arch with a few programs pre-installed. You can recreate it in under an hour.
>>733764709I do not care, I want to press a button, install it and all my shit works and updates on it's own
>>733764621I run Linux Mint on my main machine have done for years and I love it, but my old laptop is weaker so I wanted something more gaming optimized.I tried Bazzite but its stupid bazaar software center kept crashing every time I tried to use it and then my wifi suddenly stopped working so I decided enough was enough and tried CachyOS.I've not been on it super long and haven't used the laptop as much, but it runs faster and doesn't have any annoying issues so far. It seems well made and performant, fuck KDE.
>>733764747You should stick to tech made for retards then, like a phone.
>>733763000>meme distro>instead of archlol
>>733764795Can't play vidya on a phone, troonie, maybe after tweaking your faggie programs you can also tweak some chemicals make toonshine
>>733762797>every time you launch a new program you have to troubleshoot to get it to work. I’m not 15 trying get a new crack to work. No one has time for this shit anymore. I don’t want to sit down in the evening with a nice highball and spend 2 hours configuring some game. I want it to just fucking work.
>Get Linux it's so easy>No not that one>No not that one>No not that one
>>733764356I like the way Nobara breaks itself every update for a few days. Keeps my on my toes.
>>733764356i would use fedora you always have the latest gnome that way
just play games on console
>>733765023yeah if your time is limited i don't think this stuff is worth the effort, just deal with windows
>>733765023
>>733765023If you are looking for things to work, get out the house do something worth a fuck. Computers suck ass.
>>733762797>he fell for itPeople telling you to install Linux do it just to fuck with you, nobody here actually uses it.inb4 fake user replies
>>733763127It's that kind of mindset that kept me from installing Linux at all for years even though I had long since grown to hate Windows, and in the end the only difficult part was getting my USB to flash correctly.
You'll notice OP posted a pic from google instead of taking a screenshot of "his" desktop. Peculiar.
>>733766040These things are gonna to get worse since theres a ton of kids here for summer

Literally just werks for me. Binblows on a secondary drive forthe rare occassion that the bros want to play those games with shitass kernal level anticheat.
>>733762797That's what you get for listening to Linuxfags. It's also woke as hell by the way.

>>733767650
>a linux fotm distro was just a meme and is now dedWindows ALWAYS wins. bazzite was probably just harvesting userdata like linux users are always screaming M$ is doing
>>733762797Didn't this one implode like a month ago or did I mix it up with a different gamer distro?
>>733767786>90% of it is a user problemhow are you complaining that it's the machine's fault because you don't know how to go into bios?
>>733768037No? They are core problems apart of the system as a whole.
>>733767786Now lets see the list of Windows issues.
>>733762797Ummmmmmmmm why would you vaste your time playing games not vetted by the Linux community? There's a perfectly curated list made by passionate people who chose the best experiences already.
>>733768130Windows has its own problems, sure, but Linux? That's on another level.
>>733768097looks like most of it is a user problem because they're either lazy or running on outdated information and complaining for the sake of complaining. UE5 crashes randomly on windows and you don't think much of it but it has to be held against linux for some reason?
>>733762797here's the thing anon, linux is different than Windows. Unless you had to learn Windows, you're statistically too stupid for Linux (too young and retarded).I wish the saying "zoomies dumb lol" wasn't true, but it is.
>>733768374That's just cope. Even the graphics would be completely broken without AMD and NVIDIA getting involved. Hardly a "user" problem. Also, I don't even believe that list said anything about UE5? People bash that engine in general because it's trash, not because of it being le Windows' fault.
>>733762797That's the typical Linux experience for you. It manages to you problems with the most simplest of things that you could never even imagine failing on Windows.
using mint cinnamon right nowworks pretty wellfucking amazed at how fast shit is compared to when I was using windows 10
>>733768587list has bitching on things people won't use like printer compatibility, how the linux task manager isn't like windows, game dev tools and whatnot so yes it's a user problem
>>733764356Just use base fedora workstation with gnome, it's probably the best gnome distro without any outside fuckery on the applications in the repos.Although I'd recommend taking a look at the howtos from rpmfusion on how to install nvidia and amd drivers, these later don't come with hw acceleration for h264 and h265 without replacing the drivers with the ones from rpmfusion.
>>733762797What games did you actually try?
>>733765187>migrate to linux>people keep saying mint is good for newbies>try it>got slapped with outdated packages, and my ass nuking the repo trying out 3rd party repo>then got told to try fedora>Nobara shit itself every other major update >said fuck it, I'll go with arc>never fuck itself, just some minor bugs from bleeding edge updatesI lol'ed
>>733769398>got slapped with outdated packageshave you tried likeupdating them?
>>733768783>It's a user issue because they didn't personally fix the problems baked into the system!That's what you sound like.
>>733769543>my prebuilt rig doesn't have gamer RGB on it!That's what you sound like.
>>733762797>he fucking fell for itAHAHAHAH
>>733769475Debian based distro is using an old stable version by design. At the time I was a linux noobs, and looking for 3rd party repo was scary, and I somehow fucked my dependencies.
>>733769475lol you know some distros won't release unless something is 100% stable right
>>733767786do you have the source of those claims? i don't doubt them, I just really don't want to save an image with ugly troonjaks...
>>733769930source is chatgpt with additional nonsense editing
>>733769921Sounds good to me.
>>733770034ok then get used to things being outdated
>>733762797>"i installed bazzite">posts screenshot from their website, instead of his ownAt least try to make it a bit believable.You should've been fake installing CachyOS instead anyway. Bazzite is almost 4 months behind on kernel updates now, ever since they ousted their sole kernel maintainer. Now they've created some fake Org, to try and get other gaming handheld distros to do their work for them: https://universal-blue.discourse.group/t/a-brighter-future-for-bazzite/11575#p-32627-introducing-the-open-gaming-collective-1 to fix their kernel predicament.

>>733770518steamos for sure, its going to be getting a lot better soon too
Nobara is great for everything gaming-related. Haven't found a game that doesn't work or doesn't work properly.Its only problem is that it's coded by 3 or so people, so when the next update wave comes in, something's bound to break and it will be at least a week of sitting on an older kernel till they fix it. Thinking of a CachyOS or PopOS switch. Convince/dissuade me. Windowscucks need not reply.
>>733764896you can play the greatest game of the 2020s on a phone
>>733770943Try cachy. I only use their repo with vanilla arch but can vouch that they have less annoyance than nobara.
>>733770943That's the problem with derivatives that are not really distros essentially just the distro with stuff pre-installed. Not to say all of them are bad, but most of them are.It's a good idea to just use a real distro and install what you need.

>>733772286>I hope you fags are merely pretending to be retarded.You underestimate how tech-unsavvy zoomers are. Anything beyond kindergarten-tier handholding shit like Android and iOS UI sends them into a stupor. Most zoomers cannot even figure out folders and file systems, let alone flash a USB and switch to another OS. Having to run a command or two in Terminal would probably give them heart attacks.
>>733772286They are, as in it never even happened. None of the "people" "complaining" have ever posted a single desktop screenshot or a pic of their decks, every single post you see here is shilling. In fact, it's largely one guy who never changes his posting style.
>>733768587>Even the graphics would be completely broken without AMD and NVIDIA getting involved.do you think microsoft writes the Nvidia drivers for windows?
>>733772541Depends on how you define having problems. No game is immune to random crashes, especially when you do something weird and crazy like alt tabbing, trying to open another program while the game is running or putting/letting the computer go to sleep. Linux is an amateur piece of shit and it's probably riddled with even more government backdoors than windows.
>>733772938>No game is immune to random crashes, especially when you do something weird and crazy like alt tabbing, trying to open another program while the game is running or putting/letting the computer go to sleep.I have no problems with any of that.
>not a single mention of OP's GPU vendor Of course it's nvindia Stop listening to copers saying they're fine, you have to jump through hoops that don't exist on AMD
>>733772797No? According to an anonymous NVIDIA engineer, so many games ship out broken for Linux causing AMD and NVIDIA to do specific fixes and little hacks just for them. The Linux "community" is so fractured and doesn't have what's needed to get things working properly, so imagine how bad it would be if they didn't even bother.
Worx on my linux mint machineI even fixed the hanging stuttering issue
>>733773114???You do know that that's being done constantly on windows right?If anything it's more understandable on Linux since they have to go through translating the jeetware that is directx
>>733773114You mean like those 'game ready drivers' you have to download every other week?
>>733773097I wouldn't be surprised if this "nvidia doesn't work on Linux" shit is an actual FUD campaign by Microsoft.>Oh, you use [GPU brand with the dominant market share]? You better stay with Windows 11 for the Best Experience™
>>733773285But you should. Even when Nvidia works on Linux you still get 20-30% less performance than you would on Windows.
>>733773285It absolutely doesn't work at the same level of seamlessness as AMDYou need to be motivated by your hatred of Microsoft to work around things and not get upset at Nvidia issues caused by their nigger attitude towards drivers
>>733773185Yes, but now they have to do things specifically for Linux (which is only like 2% of people) which is supposed to be independent of things like Windows entirely, but they don't have the resources to do it themselves.
>>733773097>not a single mention of OP's GPU vendorTo be fair that's because the OP is a made-up story
>>733773440All the work needed lies at the developer level Soon they'll be forced to retire DirectX anyways due to valve giving them a big incentive to use vulkan with their ARM support
>>733773249Depends. Maybe if you're playing AAA slop, but yes, even there is issues on Windows because of developers not doing things properly and them having to patch the driver in various ways for example.
>>733773285No, that's well documented, nvidia gives zero shits about their linux support. Which makes the silly shill going about anonymous engineers complaining about something they categorically do not care for sound real funny.
>>733773392I use nvidia on archlinux KDE Wayland, and I've never had to "work around things" like you say. Shit just werks for me without issues
>>733773507All that means is they're not hacking what you play to work better, only the AAA slop. May I mention the absolutely sorry state of DX9 support in modern nvidia drivers? People are having to pull out DXVK on Windows to stop shit from crashing.
>>733772690The irony of this post (and the one he's replying to) is that these users haven't even bothered to change their fan curves. They just click the icons like babies.
>>733773621What an oddly specific thing to say. Projecting much?
>>733773497Well, there's a lot of old games that still use DirectX, so if the developers don't bother changing it, you might still have certain problems.
linuxfags staying classic>use linux>nonono, not that distrolike if OPs issues get magically fixed by using anything else.
>>733763127Just like they told you Bazzite just works right?
>>733773649It's the #1 thing I do when I install a new OS, and doing it on Linux was not an easy process. Imagine listening to your computer humming 24/7 for no reason at all I bet your hallway chirps.
>>733762797works on my machine
>>733762797Check the system requirements on whatever gamestore you are buying the game on, and see whether Linux is supported under the "OS" section, if not why would you move to a unsupported OS and then blame the OS for not working with a game made for Windows??
>>733773618Well, sometimes they might have made changes that broke older fixes. I was just being cheeky there because I don't update that often because I don't play AAA stuff. Also, that's what happens when you don't use AMD.
>>733773685Older games are fine, Linux is on par or better at dx11 and older, they just need to finish extending support to older directx versions What matters is the abandonment of DirectX 12 and actively supported games switching to vulkan
>>733762797i installed bazzite like almost 2 weeks ago (first time using linux) and i've had no issues
I've been doing casual Mint usage on my laptop, wonder if it'll be a smooth sailing on my main machine
>>733773732>doing it on Linux was not an easy processSounds like a you problem. >install controller software for your mobo>adjust fan curvesNot sure why you're trying to sell this as some sort of achievement.
>>733773830Well, it's still extra performance cost stressing your hardware more translating DirectX into Vulkan, and also if the developers don't actively support ones like DirectX12, you can run into issues for example.
>>733771697The people doing all the fucking work use gentoo or debian or ubuntu
>>733765173kekit do be like that
>>733765173nvidia drivers are the same no matter the distro
>>733762797>half my games dont workWorks on my machine
Bazzite is a pain in the ass.You need to learn about flatpak management because the way in which you would introduce "native packages" to it is by doing some retarded shit called "layering" that you're not supposed to do often if ever.If you want to fuck around with some of the defaults, because certain folders are read only, you're on your own.If you want to install certain software on it that's a bit more obscure, from some random github repo, you're on your own. You're told you need to use distrobox for it. You basically need workarounds for fucking everything.On paper, it sounds excellent to have a system that's more stable but also fresh. But you'll find it isn't stable enough that you can forget about doing things like rolling back often.
>>733773943I'd define it more as chore and a pain in the ass than an achievement. For example one of the problems last time was that Linux ships with outdated kernel header files, for some reason. When stuff doesn't work the solution is pasting commands into the console until it gets fixed, which may or may not break more things along the way. It's a piece of shit.
>>733771082Out of sync repo that soft brick my DE because of version mismatch. Then again I think that's on me because of slow download speed on their mirror and I just cancel the update midway and run rate-mirror thingy.Then again, I only cherry-pick their packages on my arch installation so I can't comment on the whole experience
Non-meme distros for gaming are the following :>fedora>mint>ubuntu>arch (cachyos if you're retarded)Bazzite will likely not last the year
Install Gentoo
>>733774408Honestly that's kinda weird. I always thought what they did with their repo was just basically "is that an update to a base package? just run it through with the optimizations" for most packages which shouldn't cause much of a sync issue.What I found some time ago is that they metapackage some things, like nvidia drivers.
>>733762797It's over... looks you you'll have to suffer windows then
Bazzite is based on Fedora and its "immutable" so I'm not really sure how good an option it will be overall as compared to something that is based on Arch or Debian/Ubuntu. I mean, maybe its okay but its been a long time since I've bothered with anything based on Redhat/Fedora thanks to RPM format dependency hell but its probably different now. More recently I see anons talking about how they let some troon cancel a maintainer out of his position on the project so that's unfortunate if it was true and not just culture war nonsense. In any case, I suggest something like>EndeavourOSThis is basically mainline Arch, but with a graphical installer and some sane DE defaults you can choose. I still think there is some value in actually building Arch directly following the install guide as its helpful to see how your system is 'put together' on Linux, but if you just want to get going EndeavourOS is a good place to start while also being compatible with Arch repos and not just AUR. >CachyOSSimilar to EndeavourOS, CachyOS is Arch based but has some kernel and other optimizations made for performance. You can do all this on Endeavour or Arch itself too but its nice to have it all bundled. Especially beneficial if you have relatively recent hardware (ie a Zen4 CPU or newer they advertise they compile with performance flags to take advantage of its feature etc). >PopOS A Debian/Ubuntu based desktop distro by the System76 crew, its all around viable and fairly up to date, but uses the Debian style packaging system and is NOT rolling release, so if you were used to Arch having the latest bleeding edge things in the default repos, its a little different here. This is not better or worse, just different. They're also working on a new custom DE called Cosmic>LinuxMintAnother good option, with many of the similar Debian/Ubuntu elements as described above. Also created the Cinnamon DE Out of room, but many good options. Read a bit to smooth the process
>>733774737I only use my PC to browse the web and play games. Nothing else. No productivity. AMD GPU+CPU. What would you suggest.
>>733774709>10 LTSC always 'just werks'"Suffer" is a strong word. I'll give Linux another go in 2032, maybe it'll actually work by then.
>>733772938works of my machine
>>733773930Mint is the most stable shit you can get as long as your hardware isn't very very recent (ie current gen).
>>733772938I have been using linux for 2 years with multiple machines and I have never encountered any of the issues you mention, that's quite peculiar!
>>733763000every single one of you linux faggots are trannys
>>733775198Only straight white men can handle gentoo
>>733774903Nobara, hands down. It's essentially plug-and-play.
>>7337750165700x3D / RX 6700 XT
>>733775648Yeah well it should work perfectly fine, I had a similar combo (same gpu) for about a year with mint and I encountered almost no issue. It's the RDNA4 cards that have common issues with older kernels.
>be me>be 3 years ago>want to make the jump>go for Mint>Xfce>it just werks
Is there any distro that isn’t filled with israeli spyware and backdoors?

>>733774737>More recently I see anons talking about how they let some troon cancel a maintainer out of his position on the project so that's unfortunate if it was true and not just culture war nonsense.It's more like that was an excuse to boot him out rather than the reason itself. He backpedaled like a bitch on that. There's no reason to trust the lead on Bazzite though (MS employee).

It almost seems arbitrary. Here's a fucking dump of packages every month, what's that? You can no longer boot? Whoopsie poopsie, should have used the piece of shit that is timeshift.
>>733762797What issues are you having? Bazzite works fine across the 20 different machines me, my family and my friends own. It's literally the first time "Linux easy mode" existed.>>733764356Nobara and Bazzite have GNOME editions.>>733764616SteamOS and Bazzite are almost no different. The only difference is SteamOS doesn't have a package manager so you can't "side-load" "native" applications like you would on Bazzite. This makes it less usable on a PC and more appropriate for a handheld or couch gaming console.

>>733767650Them being woke affects the functionality. Bazzite kicked their only dev in charge of the handheld daemon, aka game mode because the dev was a transphobic chud or whatever. That's the main reason people used bazzite.
might as well ask herehow do i backup shit i installed from AUR?i wanna backup citron emu i have installed
so when installing packages should i do pacman -S or pacman -Syu or pacman -Su
>>733776918I have no such good experience.If I enable VRR on GNOME with wine on wayland, it'll decide to halve framerates (what's displayed rather than what's reported) for no good reason. I can enable VRR on plasma with wine on wayland (and also on hyprland for that matter) and no such problem happens. I can have the same game use VRR at something like 75fps and not look like 38. So something's broken with GNOME.
>>733777126paru -Syu --noconfirm
>>733773720Just use Debian/Arch/Fedora or SteamOS if you're a Valve Cultist
>>733777126-S for installing packages/programs, -Syu is for full system/packages upgrade
>>733777153oh, mb, thought you were asking for system updatesif you're on cachyos you have a package installer with a browser, just use that
>>733773720>like ifOla Windows turdie shill
>>733777096If you mean the installation packages and such, you can probably just find them on your .cache/yay or .cache/paru or whatever the fuck. *If you mean what's already installed well, that's a system backup. If you have btrfs you can use quick snapshots to back that up (maybe even specifically by creating a configuration that targets a subvolume indicating folders where those things get installed) but generally people just back up most of the system folders except /home where things don't (usually) get installed.
>>733776653Really? For me it's the opposite. ext4 and ntfs get unrecoverably corrupted if you have a failing SSD or flash storage while btrfs always at least let me recover data without corruption.
>>733777126man pacmanRTFM
Use mintyou can even play halo online
>>733777287btrfs got some serious patches (even with it being slow, which was one of the main complaints) but it's known to have some corruption issues.However it's no XFS, which I've seen more people have trouble with. XFS always seemed like a meme to me (causes trouble with really old games and inodes, cannot be shrinked, doesn't have some of the good features of btrfs, difficult to recover). All I've seen about is "it's fast, look at benchmarks". As though ext4 and btrfs aren't.
>>733777283ty bro, do i just backup this file?>citron-2026.02.1-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
>>733777146>vrrthis has nothing to do with wayland though or wine for that matter.but you are correct that vrr is still experimental on GNOME until v50.
>>733777387If he's having trouble with the average latest distro he's gonna have more trouble on Mint, where he's going to have to fuck around to get latest Mesa/kernel and the compositor in Cinnamon (Muffin) is actively fucking his performance up.
>>733777639If it doesn't have to do anything specifically with wine on wayland, why is the behavior different with wine on xwayland -or- gamescope, within the same proton runner, same drivers, same game, same settings, same fucking practically everything?There is a way in which wine on wayland interacts with the compositor that makes it so when VRR is enabled, there's something like an active frameskip. In such a way that if you were to bind the gdctl command that toggles VRR on or off to a keyboard shortcut, the moment you toggle it off the game goes back to smooth (but without VRR, so at the max refresh rate of the monitor). Maybe GNOME 50 fixes this, but it's on beta right now.
>>733777126pacman -sybau works best
>>733777638Yes that works as well. Pacman can install such files directly.

>>733778310Gentoo
>>733762797I've been on bazzite for nearly 2 years now on my 2nd PC, i have yet to find a game in my library(or pirated) that doesnt work
I don't get why you'd go for something like Bazzite over Mint as your first distro.
>Half of my games don't workYou know funny enough saying this means you own maybe like 8 games total.And even then semantically it could be argued the games that "don't work" do because they're designed to shit themselves and die if they're running on linux and failing to do that would mean that they weren't actually working.
>>733762797Wait until steamos gets released for desktop computers. Or dont, i think u can already install it. U probably need AMD gpuPersonally i use 2 pcs and a kvm switch, one with linux, one with windows purely for gaming i use it as a game console pretty much

>>733778472x11
>>733777916[Serious]What does that do? I barely used Arch and know what Syu does, but googling pacman sybau only finds me reddit/tiktok memes.
>>733778750Run man pacman
>>733774903You will be fine with most but for gaming I suggest either Arch or the two Arch derivatives (Cachy, Endeavour) I listed simply because gaming often benefits from quicker updates of some driver or other software aspects
>>733778781not on linux right
>>733778807What the fuck are you sayingRun man man
>>733778750Sybau is short for shut your bitch ass up
>>733778624>Wait until steamos gets released for desktop computers. Or dont, i think u can already install it. U probably need AMD gpuSteamOS does fuck all that the average recommend distro cannot in order to get games working. All it is is just a version where the priority is getting valve hardware to perform well and be reasonably stable (it being based on Arch doesn't mean it's up to date) and a bunch of bullshit to make it seamlessly switch between a desktop and a gamescope only session. If his games won't work on bazzite, his games won't work on steamOS.
>>733778485NTAI used protondb's Steam Library checker thing to see what games would be trouble when I install cachyos next month. Like 4 out of 300+ games were bronze or worse. Maybe 50 were Silver.The only game that was borked was Destiny 2 because bungo's anticheat is ass.I don't know how anyone is perpetuating this myth that lots of games don't work on Linux.
I just use Ubuntuit works for me and my needs

>>733779042lots of people only play live service trash
>>733778857sorry I meant: I'm not using linux right now, so I don't have pacman or man commands to check on a terminal.I'm googling it. And found the b arg alone but doesn't really make sense. Also couldn't find the -a arg by itself.
>>733773383And yet since Linux isn't bloatware filled with spyware like Windows your performance will probably improve because the OS isn't hogging 12 GB of RAM for no fucking reason.
The fuck is a Bazzite?
>>733778903Oh... so it was just a reddit meme.thanks.

>>733779129>bitch assDidn't expect 4chan to be so full of niggers that their ebonics were considered common knowledge.
>>733779106An attempt to clone SteamOS for desktop. A pretty mid one, I have to admit. But it is essentially Linux with training wheels for 70 IQ "hurr durr what if I break something" grugs.
>>733779185I mean dude, you're on /v/ in 2026, all the reasonable people left so you're left with jannies samefagging trying to run psyops against things they don't like or shills that are paying to advertise to nobody.
The only thing stopping me switching my main desktop (and the only one I have still running windows) is losing access to the Affinity programmes. GIMP is hardly a replacement and the current 'solutions' to get it running are all extreme cope that barely work.
>>733779063Yeas, but every distro is workable. You can absolutely play games on ubuntu, it will just take more commitment to make it work than on gaming distros where everything is pre-installed
>>733779185>spyware linux has that too
>>733774686More like not all their mirrors are not updated at the same time (usually just a few hours diff), so when I changed the mirror in the middle of a big update (usually KDE meta package), I got a stale mirror and stuck on partial upgrade. It's fatal to have a version mismatch of kwin and workspace lol.
>>733779337If (and only if) you have an nvidia GPU, the current appimage you can find for Affinity V3 on mattscreative or whatever the fuck his name is github does work relatively well with OpenCL working.If you have an AMD GPU you're kind of out of luck there though unless you enjoy no HW acceleration (trust me, with RAW editing it's a fucking slog)
>switch to linux a couple months ago>constant problems>pissed off>someone says that distro (mint) sucks>switch to cachyos over the weekend>way better experience in pretty much every way with only one thing not working out of the box>games running noticably better tooI feel lied to by all those linux youtubers recommending mint
>>733777126You do pacman -S package If that gives an error, you do pacman -Syu package
>>733779478That's interesting. I have a 5080 but had to put my 7900 XTX back in this windows machine because Affinity was completely fucked on all 5000 series cards, at least a few months back when I last checked.
>>733779474One of the things I noticed (but I didn't particularly test in other arch based distros) is that updates would sometimes stall. This has been happening to me for the last 2 fucking years, fairly frequently. So it'll get to the usual pacman downloading package list that fills up and it's all zeroes for like 10 seconds or sometimes more until it fails. And I can create mirrorlists and whatever the fuck, use different mirrors, it just happens fucking always.It's kinda sad because on debian based distros I have a blazing fast process that never stalls, zypper is now decently fast as well, and even dnf which used to suck absolute fucking nigger dick on this is now relatively fast (I guess they did some things to dnf5). I wonder if it happens on Arch. Hell I wonder if I should switch to Arch, it's not like I don't know how to apply practically any tweak cachyOS does (even the fucking btrfs snapper setup)
>>733779397The comparison is retarded because on linux you have exclusively opt-in telemetry on SOME distros which anonymises your data if you want to use it and windows just sends screenshots of what you’re doing every couple of minutes to the server with your windows username attached to it and monitors everything you do in order to pin this info to you as a real person. And if you go out of your way and run some scripts to disable this, next windows update will revert everything
>>733762797You got /g/roomed
>>733779620Mint is granny Linux, anyone can use it. It probably keeps being recommended to Windows users because it's both ancient so everyone knows it exists, and most Windows users portray themselves as tech illiterate cretins who struggle to send an e-mail.CachyOS would not be ok for someone like that.
>>733779620Mint is a huge improvement over Ubuntu which is what most free notebooks given to thirdworlders come preinstalled with. So for the kind of people who only use their low-spec PCs for school homework and social media, Mint is the greatest thing ever.If you have a modern computer, something optimized for high performance will obviously work better for your use-case.
>>73377962099% of the issue is mint being stuck on x11. >better performance on cachydoubt. benchmarks put it within percentiles of everybody else.
>>733779639I don't know if I'd say it's worth it though.The tradeoff I've seen (I have a 4070S and a 9070XT) is that on the nvidia side, I couldn't use the max refresh rate on my monitor + adaptive sync without it shitting itself and there were minor wayland artifacts, and DX12 performance was some fucking dogshit (but I guess they're fixing that?). So I had a better experience with shit that needed OpenCL but as for the rest it wasn't a good experience.BUT, with the 9070xt, despite having a nice wayland experience, despite having no normal display issues and generally good non-RT performance, I'm still dealing with almost as broken HDR anyways (which I thought it'd be fixed), some weird fucking input lag in some titles I can't for the love of me understand, what I mentioned about openCL sucking cock, and I'm afraid of trying to use overdrive (overlocking/undervolting), because I had the 9070xt crash a lot even if I didn't change settings with that (to be fair, undervolting nvidia on linux is barely a fucking thing). So it's more mixed of an experience than I thought.
for me, it's nobara

Just fucking use arch. You're going to be using the terminal and learning how your computer actually fucking works anyway so you may as well go through the process that'll actually have you learn this stuff and not tie you to some fucking derivative thats going to go up in flames in 5 months. Your choices are arch, debian, gentoo or fedora. Cachy, bazzite, mint, it's a coat of paint that youre going to have to peel off at some point anyway.
>>733769398It's very basic.Instead of pretending everything works or should work, Arch gives you a state of fucking learn to do some shit yourself. Once you're in that mental space instead of expecting the maintainers to do everything for you, it's easier to find out how and why something's not behaving the way you want.I feel sorry for new people being shoved into atomic distros

>>733780364This might sound retarded but what is the best way to learn linux? You just pop open the manual and read it? Im just using it and occasionally learning stuff via troubleshooting problems and following old forum posts for fixes.
I appreciate windows' existence. It gives knuckle dragging apes that cant lift a finger of effort to bettering themselves for their own benefit a boiling pot of curry shit that they willingly eat out of their own stubbornness and learned helplessness
>>733762797Can't express into words how much I hate this immutable meme. This is not how Linux is meant to be used. The babyfication of the system is only creating more problems, on top of giving mewcomers a very wrong idea of how anything works.
>>733780364The three distros you mention as coats of paint are fundamentally different.Bazzite is not a coat of paint on Fedora, it's an atomic distro, heavily touched, and heavily against the user reverting any of that unless they learn how to build their own fucking thing on github through ublue templates. It's a locked little cuckbox.Mint is not a coat of pait on Debian, it's heavily touched Ubuntu (which is already a big fucking detachment from Debian, although LMDE exists) that reverts the snap retardation and adds their own half assed janky ass DE.CachyOS is more like a coat of paint on Arch, and most of the modifications it has can be done much more easily (and reverted) than the other two, and 99.9% of what exists in the Arch wiki applies to it.So I cannot put Cachy in the same category. There's very few reasons to urge a user to use Arch over Cachy in this day and age unless they have really old hardware or they are really obsessed with bloat.

>>733780831if someone tries being a vegan by eating nothing but lettuce then telling them they should try a different approach to the same idea makes perfect sense
>>733781000>You just pop open the manual and read it?lol no. that's an easy way to drown in useless shit.what you're doing is the way to go, just use it and knowledge will come naturally.
>>733780920This is probably the most sane piece of advice regarding updating on fedora and fedora based distros. Specially major releases, you want to wait for at least a fucking month or two after F44 releases to switch to it or whatever.
>>733780831>dont try to hell themThere are forums. There is claude. Every question they might have has been answered millions of times already. 99% of problems new people have with linux can be solved by copying their post and pasting it into a search bar. The infuriating part of melanated windows shills (((trying))) linux is the fact that they absolutely have something they donned know how to do on windows, and if they need to do that they will go and fucking google their problem, but the moment they even look at linux distro everything must be spoonfed to them or they will cry how shit the OS is
>>733778048Why can't I find anything on google?
>>733781000For me, I had a goal. I wanted to set up a web and media server. Pick a mainline distribution, any one. Then define our goals and investigate the process of getting those going. If you want a good way of going about get chatGPT to run you by the basics of file directory structure, desktop environment software and it's various standards, how linux handles executables and process and then if ou have any identified gaps in your knowledge just consult you AI to go a little further in depth until you are satisfied l. Just make sure to have obtainable goals
>>733778310The main thing to watch out for is whether the distro relies on systemd. Systemd is part of the OS init system(the first process, which loads everything else eventually). There are many other init flavors, and for the most part each is dedicated solely to sitting above everything else and then launching other components as needed. With systemd though, someone got the bright idea that they should combine the functions of Windows' directX and svchost, and cram them into the init. This does streamline things, and many "easy" distros use it(Mint, Cachy, etc). However it also means the "control the entire system with absolute god privileges" process is also now loaded with a shitload of potentially insecure code. I'll take that a bit further and say that I'll bet my last dollar that every state-level actor has compromised systemd in multiple ways, and the vaunted Linux resistance vs malware doesn't exist on such distros; it's just a matter of time for the small-time players and thieves to get in on the action.Unlike most other chunks of the OS, systemd is not the kind of thing you can easily rip out and replace, so if you decide the drawbacks are unacceptable you'll need to find a distro that uses one of the other proven inits instead. Or just look more closely at the distro that interests you, there are several that have a whole pile of init choices letting you pick what you need.

>>733781289>it's just a matter of time for the small-time players and thieves to get in on the action.I've been hearing this for over 10 years, and data theft or hacking attacks against run-of-the-mill Linux users can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Most of them occurred due to phishing and total carelessness, such as not setting rights and running everything as admin, rather than through a systemd exploit. Most of Linux-oriented malware targets servers and data farms rather than individual users, anyway. No one's coming to steal your furry porn stash.

>>733781174Thank you for proving my point.
>>733763000FPBP.I like Bazzite, but it's a toy compared to Arch and more mature distros.The ONLY reason to use it is because you're too dumb to spin the holo Steam Arch fork.

>>733782931What distro does Air Shakur use?
>>733782781Have you actually tried it? It doesnt work for some reason.
>>733782162It's not the solid it seems to be.It's not like some people will tell you "it's boring so nobody has a reason to talk about it".Actually, it's not that decent. Right now it's on a transitioning phase of "let's get rid of this deprecated shit and replace everything YaST with something else that we think might work". They're doing weird changes that made people want to quit.For instance, grub2-bls. They switched over to that and poorly explained the whole process.Another thing is that like Fedora they have to rely on a third party repository or flatpaks to make codecs work. Problem is Packman is not as tight with openSUSE as rpmfusion is with Fedora, so updates get fucky more often.Their slowroll release (which the whole point of is to delay packages for "more stability") is actually less stable than TW.Their other projects are a bit of a mess. Kalpa is a one bearded guy project that some people love but it's been in Alpha for god knows how long. Aeon is pushed by a moron who will argue with you on reddit about how insecure using a third party repository is and why flatpaks and containers is all you should ever trust. The only things I like about openSUSE are:1. Transactional updates can be set up on a non immutable distribution (however this system is kinda shit if you enable third party repos, you have to avoid pingponging between vendors)2. Pioneer of a btrfs snapshot + rollback setup that just fucking works as it is supposed to (and they focus a lot on not breaking the thing, I mean they got this working even with systemd-boot, which I thought couldn't be done), only CachyOS seems to achieve something like this3. Unlike Fedora a lot less of their packages are stale and their state of "brokenness" on TW is not dissimilar from arch, so not way too unstable
>ur distro shit mine good: the thread part 1488not this crap again
>>733783043Good for you, it doesn't work either way.
>>733778364this. disgusting how many normalfaggots are on this board.
>>733779620Mint is just Ubuntu but green and using cinnamon. It won't install wine or anything that run windows games out of the box for you. Steam should work perfectly fine though.
The only issue I had was learning about disk formats and needing to properly format the drive my games loaded from into ext4 from ntfs
There's something I will never reach to understand.The official method of distribution Valve uses for Steam on their official website is a debian package.Any other method of distributing Steam itself is unofficial stuff. Including the Flatpak (probably a reason why it's so fucking ass). Hell there's even an AppImage version of Steam.Their OS, SteamOS, is Arch based though. Why is this?
>>733782060You can also just open image in new tab and change the -m.jpg to either just .jpg or .png
>>733762797
>>733783591ubuntu was the go to distro on linux for a long time, and steam machines originally were ubuntu based.
You guys need to get your narrative straightDo you want more people to use Linux or keep it a cool kids club
>>733782931Gentoo is all about choice but that comes at the cost of having to compile your own packages for the most part, i honestly think its a better distro than Arch.
>>733783550If you have your steam games in a NTFS partition it's very likely for them to crash on steam. I learned that the hard way.
>>733768374>looks like most of it is a user problem>95% of the list is security vulnerabilities, missing or incomplete systems/features, nonexistent hardware compatibility, and overall universal instability in both kernel and distrosYour definition of "user problem" is off
>>733783776I want computer illiterate retards to go back to consoles
>>733783776all linux issues are now externalnvidia, anticheat, adobe shit
>>733772474Old games running well are actually more impressive than new ones because old games tend to become broken on new Windows versions and drivers. This is one thing that linux apparently shits on windows for, since you don't need to go on pcgamingwiki to fix old games on linux.
>>733783819Back when I still dual booted I just softlinked the compatdata folder on the NTFS drive to the one in my main stream folder and that fixed it
>>733771690So then gayems don't work then. Got it.
>>733784030That's because windows compatibility mode sucks. Wine is simply better.If a game needs compatibility mode to run on modern windows it will probably be less hassle to play on linux.
>>733780886You sound upset.
>>733783808That sounds like a nightmare to configure, to be honest.
>>733784030That's partially true. What linux relies on for a lot of these games is not too different from what windows does (wrappers and compatibility layers). It just so happens that something like dxvk can be used on Windows as well, and people had their success with it.Another thing is the whole NTSync patch where people pretended that before it things just worked, but now we have the patch, things now just work (in regards to some older titles). So which one was it? Nobody knows. That fucking patch made a lot of youtubers talk about it like it was a performance boost all across the board when it wasn't a big deal at all.
>>733784024Well if you want more companies to support Linux, it needs more users. Which would mean normies. Which would mean either making a distro that is as idiotproof as Windows or as trendy as MacOS. For Adobe it would likely mean the business sector would need to use Linux more.
>>733772474Games were better back then. Though I'm not sure why he has the "kid-friendly" version of Spider-Man 2 installed, that one sucked and was a bait and switch for people that bought it back then.
>>733780831If you can't do basic research you are a npc that should install win11
>>733783043>>733783252>Anon says game doesn't work with Proton experimental>Linux troon says it works for [unrelated game]Why does this happen so often?
>>733784505>Well if you want more companies to support Linux, it needs more users. it's happening, things like this just take time. gog and nvidia for example are hiring linux devs.
>>733783819It's way more weird than that, I have my games on NTFS archives because I dual boot windows and linux, so basically, pirated games will work out of the box both in the windows partition and the linux partition by adding them on steam as non-steam games and launching via proton, nothing else needed, but legit bought games, installed on a ntfs partition will NOT work by using proton in the linux partition, instead they will require a fresh installation, doesn't matter if you install it on a ntfs, ext or whatever else, then they will work, it's mega weird.
>>733784736Well thats good to hear
>>733784505>a distro that is as idiotproof as Windows or as trendy as MacOS.Ubuntu is literally that
>>733784779Disease 1 was always crashing on boot. It's a very old game. It just stopped after I moved to ext4. Anyway I nuked my windows 10 partition now. My Windows partition was kind to me to stop working without me doing anything lmao so I ended it's suffering.
>>733784954>Disease 1I mean Disgaea 1... Wtf
>>733785021disease 1 sounds like a better game
>>733784832well its not doing a good enough job
>>733784832not really no, ubuntu is for businesses and servers. they don't really care about regular consumers.

>>733762797Nvidia huh
>>733785417The entire system was designed to be as simple as windows, with no command line interaction required to use and is presented with a UI that mirrors macOS, I don't think you have any clue of what you are talking about, bot.
>>733785506games with anti cheat is a coin toss. as for the rest 99% runs.check https://www.protondb.com/ for specifics.
>>733785506Multiplayer games that are forcefully broken by the devs, proprietary and kernel level anticheat doesn't work on linux nor it works through proton so games like battlefield will not run, however this is by will of the dev, for example helldivers 2 uses a kernel level anticheat, the anticheat doesn't work on linux but the game runs just fine on the steamdeck and other distros.
>>733785556Oh, that's lame that it blocks 50% of multiplayer games then
RTX 50 series + driver 590 + dx12https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1daM6oOaQ8
>>733785620So now I need to look through all my games and figure out which will or won't work?
>>733762797>BazziteWhen will people stop falling for this meme?
>>733785669NVIDIA Acid, coming to the mainstream driver with DLSS 5
>>733785691Just check on protonDB, but a safe guess is simply this anticheat = won't work.
>>733785691for multiplayer games, yes.
Okay, what distro should I choose? I have Ubuntu on my NAS to watch TV and play lower spec games.I'm on W11. I think I'd just like it to look nicer, and be clean, or something.
>>733785758It works fine, stop crying,

I wanted to achieve exactly this so fucking much, but never figured out how to do it seamlessly. Spent weeks researching this topic.
>>733783756>and steam machines originally were ubuntu based.No, they were Debian based. I don't know if they were based on Sid or Stable, though.
>>733779185after moot got dicked by *pstein he created /pol/ and sold 4chan out to the j*ws who then hired indian bot farms to flood this place with low quality posts
>>733785835Ubuntu or Mint. I've distrohopped a lot, more than anyone here and anything else is a genuine meme. Stay away from rolling distros, even the developers behind them admit things crash and stop working because of the rolling nature - even though the users here don't seem to agree with the developers. So yeah, Ubuntu or Mint. For me it's Ubuntu 25.10.
For all the curious newbies, just get CachyOS. Yes it's Arch, Arch let's you fuck up everything. But you get one of the best English wikis ever and CachyOS really tries to get your hardware setup right. Also choose Btrfs as the filesystem and install timeshift. If you don't know shit at all, type paru timeshift into the terminal and then probably option number 1, that's all. With timeshift you can snapshot your system folder, so if you fuck up you can roll back a day or two. Just setup the interval like you want to. Don't include /home, if include it and roll back your files between the snapshot and now are gone. If you fuck up completely and the system doesn't start the graphical interface anymore, you still can roll back, just google timeshift Linux command line. I killed my system a hundred times over the last ten years and it's always an easy fix.
>>733787041Newbies don't want to use wikis, and most experienced linux users don't want to either.
Do I try Bazzitte then? Or PopOS? I like Ubuntu, but dislike how it looks>>733782524>>733781640Uh, doe sit break at a certain point or something? I installed it after seeing this thread and it just works, I didn't have to change anything.
>>733787107And newbies don't want to download an .exe and klick on it. They want an AppStore. Fuck them. Learn stuff.
>>733786365your limine? being able to roll back any update by just rebooting solves arch
>>733787134>but dislike how it looksSo just fix that? If you can't do the most basic of things distrohopping isn't going to do it.
>>733787134PopOS uses Cosmic which is nice but I've had some issues and went back to Ubuntu. If you really dislike GNOME then i'd go for maybe Kubuntu?>>733787253Well, a newbie would probably prefer not being in a position, to begin with, where they have to roll back an update. Which happens more on rolling distros... aka arch.
>>733787320Oh, you can use Cosmic >>733787323 on Ubuntu. I'll try that. Thanks, fellars!
>>733787572Erh, no you cannot use cosmic on Ubuntu. You can in theory since it's Linux but there's no officially supported flavour of Ubuntu that ships with cosmic as far as I'm aware. Fedora has a cosmic version though. https://ubuntu.com/desktop/flavors
>>733785506Basically anything anticheat gets fucked.
every Linux thread is like "Cookies and Cream is my favourite Fuxor distro"
>>733787785Depends on the game. I've run games that use game guard and EAC on CachyOS with no problems. Been running it for 3 months right now with few problems (and most problems are just finding alternative apps for things like Adobe)
>>733787840I'm more of a rocky road gamer
>>733787979Kernel level anticheat is usually what breaks it unless the devs do some magic I don't care to learn about. For example I know wizardry variants didn't work when I tried, and that shit runs on phones.
A Debian terminal is literally all you need.
>>733787134Mint is just green Ubuntu. If you like how Ubuntu just works for you then might not be a good idea to jump to other different distros right now... You probably don't like gnome that's fair.
>>733781678Very accurate. I was using Ubuntu in 1st year in college from a freeboot disk and loved it. Only using windows for my retro game library, really
>>733785625nta but it depends on game, it's not like linux can't run anticheats, it's just that some devs disable them on linuxfor example>nightreign/elden ring and fantasy life i: EACthey work fine on linux, but then you also get shit like>fortnite and apex: EACand the devs made it so you can't run them lol
>>733787779https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2025/12/install-cosmic-desktop-ubuntu-24-04-ppaOh I saw this
>>733788643bruteforcing it onto a fixed release distro isn't going to work wellthose distros are made with specific foundations in mind and desktop environments aren't supposed to be modular and swappable there
>>733788616why windows then?
>>733788621I get Tim Sweeney doesnt want it on Fortnite solely because of his inferiority complex over Gabe Newell but the other companies make no sense, they claim its because most cheaters are on Linux but from a pure statistical standpoint most people play on Windows so thats where the majority of the cheaters have to be.
>>733785669Wow, it almost makes Milds look like Monster Hunter.
>>733785323>Why Bazzite though, OP?Good for starters and people who are afraid to break something. Its system files are read-only. Its package system is gay as fuck, though.>I like Ubuntu, but it seems ugly as sin. Ubuntu is old. Many popular programs, such as Solaar, simply don't work on it, or require tons of crutches.Fedora/Arch-based distros are where it's at.
>>733789405I've never heard of Solaar
>install any linux distro or windows edition>everything just worksAre these just bait threads, or is nu-4chan tech-illiterate? I keep seeing these threads daily here and on /g/. I’ve always used Nvidia on all my machines, yet I haven’t seen it cause a single issue.Is this correct spelling?
>>733789454wtf you need this dogshit software ofr logitech hardware?
I tried a live USB boost of Bazzite on my x220 back in October, but never tried installing it because it wasn't reliable.Gonna try CachyOS instead, I just need it to get a general purpose browsing and media laptop off of Windows 10.
>>733786225I don't know how much a snapper rollback setup gets in the way there (I know that for instance Archinstall/CachyOS do this a bit differently but nothing is broken, just highly verbose when updating) but I doubt it's as bad as getting that thing to work in Fedora. I've tried time and time again on F43 and it's a fucking mess of a setup. You essentially have to install snapper without using its rollback function, instead you have to use btrfs assistant and it'll throw a bunch of errors on you. There's like 7 guides and it's all different, some people tell you to follow the older guides but then you can't because they changed the installer and no longer can you set up subvolumes the same way on the partitioning process, there's some fuckery with dnf5 as well... it's dogshit.And the excuse Fedora gives for not implementing something like this yet? "Takes too much space". Yeah just forget about settings. No we can't ship a sensible default configuration for automatic snapshots, really? God I hate these people.
>>733787041>Also choose Btrfs as the filesystem and install timeshift.Redundant, using limine and btrfs sets up snapshots in a better way.
>>733762797I somehow bricked the whole system by auto-installing some updates. Why is Linux still so fucking shit and Bazzite in particular?

>>733787323>Well, a newbie would probably prefer not being in a position, to begin with, where they have to roll back an update. Which happens more on rolling distros... aka arch.it happens far more often when experimenting than when using arch the normal way. Updates tend to break maybe once a year if a manual intervention is needed for some set of hardware or some specific package. The reason why rolling back would be needed frequently is because people keep installing a lot of dogshit from the AUR and making a bit of a mess there they want to revert back from because removing the 32 packages that got installed with that one you just grabbed and you don't want anymore is a bit of a pain in the ass. The tradeoff for not having to worry about updates is that you just don't get up to date software or have to rely too much on other methods of distribution like flatpak/appimages, because relying on third party repositories to get up to date shit is not much more reliable than say, using a fucking rolling release distro, and you're prone to have update problems at some point the same way if not worse in some cases because of general syncing issues between "what you have in the official repo" and "what NautilusXxX6969 is providing you with".
>>733789848What's the alternative? Windows is imploding due to AI jeetcode and MacOS is lol
>>733789229big same, at least the games I play work fine, better than on windows tbqdesu, I hope more gamers make the switch so devs will have to swallow their pride and just enable stuff
I just installed Ubuntu on my company laptop. How do I set DNS to our domain controllers? I need Active Directory to log into on-prem apps and servers. Does it support seamless-SSO for Microsoft apps? Any tutorials how to install Cisco Secure Client, Citrix Receiver and Workspace, Netscope, download group policies from AD? What's the recommended PAM-enabled RDP client here? I need it for Senhasegura connections.
>>733790157There is no alternative, take the Linux pill. Windows is in a near constant state of "LMAO OUR NEWEST UPDATE BROKE A BUNCH OF SHIT/EATS 20% OF YOUR GAMING PERFORMANCE! STAY TUNED FOR US TO PATCH IT(see: roll it back covertly) AND WE'LL DO IT AGAIN NEXT MONTH" at least in Linux when an update breaks some shit you can just 'sudo downgrade'
Windows recently broke my NVME, so I switched to Ubuntu. It's alright. Shit just werks, or it doesn't, and Google Gemini fixes it otherwise.
>>733784024>open source shit breaks>uhm, it's actually somebody else's fault >real software breaks>issue gets resolved, because it's made by professionals Reminds me of using weird Firefox forks and the furries running them explaining how it's not their fault that half the websites aren't working and if I have an issue I should just take it up with the people running those sites.
>>733789595I'm not interested in using snapper, however. I wnat to use btrfs directly becuse the native tools already do all the work anyway. I have a bunch of self made scripts that create snapshots and revert them. What I wanted to do is work with systemd-boot and have it find the snapshots, allowing me merely choose them. I also have other requirements but at least this one would make me very happy.
>>733789454>>733789506Official Logitech software doesn't work on Linux (despite users begging for it for 10+ years), and Solaar is the analog. Otherwise, say goodbye to custom keybindings.
>>733787979The issue with the Linux version of EAC is that it doesn't really do anything. Which leads to situations where Linux is 2% of your user base, but 40% of cheaters.
>>733790536Idk, I guess I'm more charitable to the nameless guys making weekly updates for free as in freedom and beer than I am to the trillion dollar corporation who wants you to pay for the privilege of being buttfucked
You shouldn't be asking linux what it can do for you, you should be asking yourself what YOU can do FOR linux. You don't NEED to run that software/hardware you like using, you should run instead what linux wants you to use. Put down your head, suck it up, cope, and use what you have to for linux, you are used to it in life, might as well be a bitch to your computer too.

>>733785835>Okay, what distro should I choose?The first thing you need to understand is that people want you on Linux in order to hurt Microsoft. Not because they think it's better.

>>733790812I want to hurt Microsoft too.
>>733790629Don't quote me on this, but I think pikaOS has some steps that can be followed with debian to get that sort of thing done.However, I think it might need some extra setup for stuff like read-only bootable snapshots, and I don't actually know if btrfs snapper will allow you to roll back properly (I know that from what I tested, snapper rollback does not work, and if any sort of rollback doesn't either, then the only reason to have bootable snapshots is to be able to access a working system to back shit up before reinstalling).
>>733762797Why did they name an operating system after that Concord character?
>>733790669This is just the lie devs use.Apex big cheating scandal was a windows cheat being shown to the world during a fucking tournament. From this, Respawn and EA went "See, see! It's the Linux guys!!" And quickly cut out Linux users. Fun fact: Apex to this day still has a cheater problem despite all the Linux "cheaters" being forceably removed
>>733763906Omarchy
>>733762797Did you set your games to play through Proton on steam? If a game doesn't have a native linux version, it obviously won't run without a compatibility layer.
>>733790949>>733790629Nevermind, that's with grub.The systemd-boot thing on openSuSE is a bit of a hack though. Apparently while they got it working it's basically not supposed to be the thing they want to use from now on (from their switch to grub2-bls by default I assume).One thing I really dislike about both systemd-boot and grub2-bls there instead of the older grub bootloader is, it doesn't have a snapshot submenu. It just displays them all there, you boot up and it's just a fucking wall of snapshots with your system entry on top.

I wanted systemd-boot because it seems to be much simpler to use and manage, but oh well.There is one other big problem that openSUSE solved and no one else seems to - read AND write support for btrfs with grub2. Right now I have /boot in a btrfs partition so I can snapshot it, too. Makes it easy to back it up to our servers and revert it back if something goes wrong. Grub2 has read support, but it cannot write anything. So let's say I run a command to boot an entry after next boot by running "grub-reboot 3", for example. This edits the .grubenv file over at /boot/grub to boot the fourth entry in the menu. the problem is that file will never revert back to booting the default grub option because grub itself can't change the .grubenv file. Therefore I am now stuck booting the fourth entry every time until I somehow manage to revert it back, manually.
>>733791458>tfw installed Arch with SystemD because it was the default in the installer and Grub had that ugly purple startscreen>people argue about all kinds of arcane shit between the two that I'm far too stupid to understand
>>733791383Cachy and Nobara are largely plug-and-play distros that come with almost everything pre-installed and set up, hence the recommendation. Endeavor is okay, but needs a bit of finetuning to run smoothly.Not sure why everyone recommends Mint to newbies. It hasn't been relevant for years and you won't get much use out of it if you have a good PC. If you're a dude with a toaster who just wants to browse, then yeah.
>>733791552I strongly deslike grub because of its complexity, but still nothing comes close to it in the number of features.We need the "Wayland of bootloaders" to arise.
>>733791415Desktop env as whole is waste of resources, just use terminal as god intended.
>>733790271Dude the IT guy WILL skin you alive
>>733791562>Not sure why everyone recommends Mint to newbies.Because its programs are completely stable. If you're jumping ship from Windows, you're going to want to land on solid ground.
>>733791562Mint gets recommended because at its introduction it was easy to install and it looked approachable, kind of like how Pop has its moment in the sun and now Bazzite is the "easy" (see: sort of 'just works' but only for the most basic shit) distro.Idk, I've seen enough 'easy' distro that have the weird fucking quirks that I'm scared of them.Manjaro claims to be "just arch" but every single time I see someone troubleshooting an "arch" problem it turns out it's strictly a manjaro problem that doesn't affect arch in any way shape or form
>>733762797What fucking library do you have where half of it doesn't work?
>>733766896More like poop_os!. How's Cosmic?
>>733791695Problem is there is a big incompatibility with a "stable" system and having the latest GPU drivers. If you go the Mint route you'll get outdated drivers, If you want to install new drivers you need to delve in ppa's. This, for me, is worse than just installing CachyOS. At least with Arch-based distros you don't need to deal with AUR too much. but even if you do CachyOS makes it trivial to install new packages anyway.
>>733791718Zorin OS is trying to be the new Mint
>>733791775>38% of your games just workuh
>>733791791My buddy fucking hates it and it didn't migrate his popshop apps properly to the cosmic shop, so he moved back to KDE.That said he's a total retard who somehow didn't notice the insane screentearing he was getting on X11 with an AMD GPU of all things
>>733791654>>733790776No trolling please. Can I at least connect to PXE to download and run company-compliant Windows image?
>>733792040You're going to die. And that's if you're lucky.
>>733791695If the solid ground is "this feature doesn't work because the display server being used isn't capable of making it work" then it's worthless.
>>733791718Bazzite is idiot-proof, that's pretty much its only advantage. PopOS is okay, but Cosmic sucks donkey dick.>Idk, I've seen enough 'easy' distro that have the weird fucking quirks that I'm scared of them.In the end, a person chooses a distro the quirks of which he can live with. It's better to tinker and mess around in terminal for some minor glitch instead of having Windows' jeetcode shit itself six times a week and having a retarded AI peeking over your shoulder all the time.
>>733762797>install mint>install steam>click a single checkbox enabling steam compatibility stuff>everything worksI don't know how the fuck everyone keeps fucking things up. It's THAT easy.
I want to play Fortnite, otherwise I'd swap.
>>733792040hope you are the one that's trolling
>>733789751Huayra
>>733792126Yeah that's fair, still I prefer arch where if some shit goes wrong there's an entire section of fixes on a wiki vs a bunch of smug Ubuntu cunts going "well gee it works on my machine so that sounds like a you problem!" or some new shit like Pop/Mint having 0 formal community or support
>>733790271I think /g/ is a better place to ask for this anon.
>>73379187580 percent learn to read
>>733792225Grok and Claude are also excellent at finding advice for fixing lots of issues, I've noticed.
>>733781790SteamOS never broke once
>>733792382I've had some beta branch updates lock up and force me to restore from a backup, but yeah Valve has been pretty good
>>733792281Who gets a PC for "playable" hahaha
>>733762797In all seriousness, I wonder how many layers of proxies MICROSOFT has from themselves to the people who make these threads. They are obviously started by viral marketing companies. Can you imagine what would happen if there was a hack or leak that showed that these super racist and transphobic threads were started by Microsoft? That would be HILARIOUS.Not that I care, OP is a faggot, but if the normies ever found out Microsoft stocks would tank hahaha.We should really try to figure out who is starting these threads.
>>733782362Cuz it's still an issue on lots of crap which doesn't use portals. Not even a gnome issue, it's a software issue. For example Foliate which is Adwaita uses KDE file picker on KDE because it's made by people who are competent... Much software is not made like this.
>>733792276This thread about linux distros on a fucking video game board as more posts than entirety of /g/ combined.>>733792090Nah, half of the company is sharing passwords and personal information in simulated phishing attempts. A single laptop with Linux is the least of our problems.
>>733792752>the least of OUR problemsIT and management don't consider you in the WE or OUR team. I fully support the Linux world order, but you should move back for the sake of continued employment. Some other nigger is going to fuck something up and you'll end up eating crow because it's easy to blame the maverick going rogue and installing Linux
>>733792592>because it's made by people who are competent...you mean gtk devs? this shit is handled automatically by gtk4.
The main thing I miss from Windows is Paint.NET. Krita is an ass of a substitute.
>>733792883A month ago our company announced that they'll be firing 700 employees globally, 150 only in Denmark, the rest in remote locations. Tomorrow we will know who will be fired. Winners were decided beforehand during the 3 week period. Seriously, 1 laptop with Linux when I have 3 other leased laptops is nothing and at this point I don't care.
>>733792578>We should really try to figure out who is starting these threads.Well, there just happens to be a certain bunch of people with a total disdain for hygiene and slavish devotion to corporate hierarchies who'll do anything for money.
I'm just letting you guys know that I have asked AI to tell me what distro to use, and I'll keep you updated.
>>733793213I asked Gemini, GPT, and Grok.All recommended Fedora as the top choiceCurious what you'll get recommended
>>733793118why do you have FOUR fucking company laptopsfor what purpose?
>>733793295>>733793213>NobaraFedora - For the Pro Gamer>CachyOSArch - Maaximum FPS & Speed>PopOSUbuntu - Modern & interesting, the first new desktop in a decade. >BazziteFedora - Turn your PC into a Steam DeckI specifically told it not to recommend Ubuntu, Mint or Arch.
>>733793395thanks anon for feeding us your aislop.
>>733793308Company is required to provide us with a new laptop every 2 years. Also those fucking thinkpads break surprisingly fast in office environment.
True niggas use Debian Sid. It's rolling just like Arch.
>>733793395But Ubuntu is the best
>>733792454Verified just means that it's confirmed to be running on steam deck out of the box.
>>733793507>black rose>aislop
>>733793046If you say so. I have seen plenty of stuff that's busted, but I haven't checked if it's GTK4.
Now I must decide.PopOS or Nobara.Do I want cool & new, or old and reliable?
