Always seeing the Bazzite recommendation. Just converted my kid over, 2 weeks ago. 0 complaints which is pretty amazing.

The less Meta owned software installed, the better.

I’m on EndeavorOS for 2 months, and I just installed Bazzite on my kids desktop! As long as Sober keeps working for Roblox, we are golden.

EndeavorOS. It runs smooth, i dont get errors, all my games work, the taskbar and notifications work like I would expect them too. Switching from Windows 2 months ago, I cycled through a few distros but they all were giving something up until i found EoS.

I’m 2 months into my Linux journey and I don’t use flatpak. I’ve had the odd problem with it. I stick to pacman and yay now.

Nice! It feels so good when it works, like there’s actually hope of escaping windows. Now I’m past hoping and just enjoying it.

I have not tried Bazzite but have heard lots about it since. I am looking at converting my htpc/gaming rig over soon and Bazzite is top of the list for that!

Thinking on this more, the install was 100% easy. 2 problems i had were dracut was updated to v107 then rolled back by EoS. I had to look up the issue, realized it didnt affect me so i was able to ignore it. My second issue was last week pulseaudio had an update that messed up 5.1 sound so i did have to roll back there. All in all, nothing too difficult, and all good learning opportunities.

Yes I’m more tech-savvy, but I’m less patient to read/understand things, i will usually chatgpt something these days, then keep my own personal documentation for anything i may need in the future.

I could have definitely jumped straight in, but I think I would always wonder if other distros were ‘more’ right for me. So yeah, i think trying the other ones helped me be content here.

That being said, I’m a little more experienced now and could likely navigate around some of the things i didnt like about the other distros.

Yeah, but it’d be better if calc gridlines didn’t have that unchangeable fade effect

Anecdotal, but Mint stuttered in games occasionally for me and I had the odd audio blip. I switched to EndeavorOS and its been flawless.

Divinci Code was great! Are you planning any new novels?

Its my first server, and I’m not a network admin. Guess I’m not fluent in the lingo.

I run a headless Ubuntu server and Mint as my daily driver. I tried Pop OS first, which was great, other than I hated the task bar and had some problems with some apps. I also tried Kubuntu which gave me problem after problem. Mint made everything easy.

Windows

I’ve been using gimp for years as a Photoshop alternative. Tons of tutorials, and I’ve always been able to do what I needed.

Its great that there are alternatives for those who want them!

Thank you! I’m a new user to linux. Went through 4 distros this month until this one, that doesn’t seem janky and runs my games at a decent FPS. Having to reconfigure my monitors each reboot was a dealbreaker for me. Your simple instructions worked flawlessly, and i’ve had 3 reboots without having to change my settings.

I’m not sure if linux is my new forever home yet, but this definitely helps!

It’s a service that allows tv/movie streaming from torrents. I use it with the ‘Seren’ addon within Kodi on my HTPC/FireSticks. It’s $20/6 months, and works great. No buffering.
