What's the most anti-giga retard distro in 2026? Is it still pop linux? I don't want jeetcrosoft to spy on me no more
my retard friend got on linux mint
>>746080665For gaming it's CachyOS
cachyos or fedora
>>746081012Among other things such as not having wayland, mint won't update proton to the newest bleeding edge versions by itself, you have to do it manually. That's annoying. Cachyos is easier than mint for gamers.
>>746080665CachyOS, you normalfags are crowding into it like salmon going upstream.
>>746081274>Normies>Linux
>>746080665steam OS if you're on AMD
>>746080665>anti-giga retard distroMint was designed so your grandma can use it long term without fucking it upUse mint if you're as big of a fucking retard as you say
I have all my loli porn stores in cachyos external driveIm gud
>>746081324That's right, normalfags. Streamers keep sales pitching it, like Linus.
>>746080665Ubuntoo of course.
do i need to know all the hardware specifics of my old laptop before installing the new os? >>746081226surely that doesnt matter if ur just using steam tho?
>>746081529>old laptopYou should post the specs. What you think of as old may not be so old to others. Also, the UEFI will be more of a problem for certain distros, especially secureboot.
>>746081529>surely that doesnt matter if ur just using steam tho?I don't like to go to the proton-ge github and manually download it and extract it to the steam folder. There are fixes for games all the time and I can get the newest proton updates just with cachy-update.
>>746081393Promise you i'm just a regular retard sweetcheeks.
>>746081689why are you manually downloading a standalone version of proton instead of using steam's built in version?
Which one?
>>746082416half of those either use AI or support AI btw
>>746081324Welcome to current year
>>746080665Wtf lol how is that little bird lifting the cage????
>>746080665Debian. It's always been Debian, and it will always be.>b-but latest hardware supportModern hardware spies on you on the hardware level, no OS will change that.>b-but latest driversDon't need them.>b-but latest gamesNothing worth playing.
>>746081108mostly productivity with some normie gaming here and there (poe2/sf6) , heard good things about krita and davinci.I'm just tired of how heavy Adobe programs and Windows became, shit just randomly lags all the time and i have a mid-high tier computer, guessing they are collecting random biometrics.
>>746082416you don't need anything else than kde, let's be real here
>>746082491the cat is constantly jumping allowing the bird to lift the cage with ease
>>746082319Proton-GE is much quicker to update with the latest community fixes not only for new games but also for any old games that may still not work properly. Also it will fix many problems with broken cutscenes because Valve doesn't want to ship their proton with propriety codecs. Proton-cachyos-slr takes fixes from Proton-GE as well as other community projects and it automatically updates with your system so you never have to bother with changing every game over to the newest version after the update. You can basically forget about ever messing with proton unless it's one of those weird games that will only run on some ancient version.
>>746080665Linux Mint is based and just works
>>746083137Also the main dev was openly anti-Israel years before it was cool.
>>746083234say no more
>>746083137>>746083234By that reasoning you should be using opensuse tumbleweed. The Germans refused to celebrate hannukah.
>>746083441OP doesn't want to be spied on, why would he use German software?
>>746083478Because opensuse is quietly anti-semitic instead of making a fuss about it like mint. It took a jew trying to shove hannukah in before he was told no we only celebrate christmas.
void linux is the patricians choice
>>746083441>tumbleweedrolling release is a memeuse leap>>746083539perfect for people with nothing to do who replaced their personality with their OS
>>746083574>for triple digit iq autists who treat their personal electronics as a hobbyftfy
>>746082416Sway or Hyprland>>746082569No
>>746084523>Hyprland
>>746084643what's wrong with it?
>>746082416Steam is backing KDE it's the obvious choice.
>>746082416i3 the best tiling wm out there but its for x11. sway is i3 ported to wayland with some added features. if you're into tiling wms i would recommend one of those
>>746080665Bazzite
>>746082454And that's a good thing.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHMfCJzbVqE
>>746086816Best design of the decade
>>746080665Is it true you can't play online games on linux?
>>746080665I use nobara without much problem, and i am pretty noob at linux.
>>746090136Afak, proton GE/ wine doesn t work well with anticheat stuff. I don t play online tough, because i pirate everything.
>>746090136most online games you can, when people say you cant they're mostly talking about live service fps stinkers like COD or all the other shit like fortnite or apex whatever they're called. but the reason is usually that those games go out of their way to make their anti cheat stuff not work on linuxyou can always check protondb.com to see whether a game is playable or not
>>746081689Imagine manually doing tedious things in the era of opencode and qwen3.8
>>746090436Good morning.
>>746090436>imagine thinking, AND LEARNING lmaomajor self own there
>>746081689ProtonUp-Qt makes this easy>>746090136Usually only if the devs are actively hostile against Linux see areweanticheatyet.com
>>746084807Nothing, he's just a kdetard
>>746082416Anon you got to give us reasons why you don't want KDE Plasma.
>>746080665just go Mint or Ubuntu. Arch for when you're ready to commit.
>>746095771KDE gave me screen tearing issues for a while, sometimes after booting from sleep my monitor will spaz out and won't properly display the video output at the lock screen. Still, biggest reason not to use KDE is bloat. Better than Windows still but a lot of things you probably don't need.I need to look up debloating it for myself. Maybe try a new DE.
is it bad if I'm doing a lot of tinkering on my Linux pc using ai to try and figure out how to do shit I am taking screenshots and some notes but none of it is that organized and I feel like I'm kind of just winging it is that badI'm just thinking I might not know 100% how to undo everything or every little thing I've done but I don't know if that's even a problem
Fuck I haven't updated for over a month, brb.
>>746096902I don't think any exploration of the system and functions are bad, but you may be able to do learn in a more constructive way. Winging it is how most of us start. You sound pretty new to it. Have you used terminal much? Where exactly are you doing most of your exploring and digging around?Also, what's your distro?
>>746096726>bloatIf you're worried about bloat why the fuck are you installing cachyos????
>>746097262nta
>>746081689But you don't, you just change the link in updates for proton and then repeat the same command in the terminal once in a while or it will do it automatically if you have automatic updates.
>>746097105I mean doing stuff like, setting up dkms to rebuild a kernel module automatically to overclock a controller adapter, or setting up a webui for my local LLM and having to figure out the firewall exception to make it go through, or passing qimgv through xwayland instead of wayland so it scales my images probably on my 150% 4k monitor and apparently that works because???autistic shit like thatI've done a lot of things like that and I feel like I'm not actually trying to properly learn it because ai is sometimes actually good at troubleshooting
>>746080665>What's the most anti-giga retard distroUbuntuMintZorinBazzite ( maybe )Fedora ( maybe )Avoid arch and anything arch related, do not listen to retarded anons recommending arch to a fucking newbie
>>746081689>>746081226just install protonplus and get the latest ge version in one click retards
>>746097094I hope nothing broke.
>>746096726>sometimes after booting from sleep my monitor will spaz out and won't properly display the video output at the lock screen. By any chance are you using display port? There are a lot of monitors that don't implement it properly, this is likely an issue you'll have no matter what you use.
