I wonder if people opt-in or not?

Nevermind, I was able to read the comments and the poster said “I WILL be open-sourcing the code ASAP, but I’m still working out exactly what that will look like, and I also have a few personal reasons for delaying.” So there’s not git yet for everybody else who is wondering.

I can’t watch the video, is there a link to a git somewhere?

Check both out over at https://distrosea.com/ to see which you like more. Also different DEs come with different standard apps like which text editor or terminal they use. If you do not have a preference there, it shouldn’t matter much. Also you can switch those out if one in particular isn’t to your liking.

Of course you can, why wouldn’t you? It’s Fedora Kinoite with added stuff for gaming. There is a special edition for devs in the making, in case you’re interested in keeping an eye on that: https://universal-blue.discourse.group/t/introducing-the-bazzite-developer-experience-alpha/7342/64

I doubt that would help, sadly. There is SO MUCH advice out there already, but people always think they are special and have a very rare and complicated use case.

For me both have their use cases. Heroic is my go to for GOG and Epic games and everything else not Steam (e. g. old Windows install files that I still have lying around). EA App only ran for me on Lutris until one day it didn’t. Then I tried with Bottles and it worked ever since. Not trying to add more confusion, but for some people Bottles has a more intuitive interface than Lutris.

Why not test Secureblue instead of Silverblue?

It’s not what OP asked for.

Forgive the not so serious remark: you can run Linux in Excel!

Sorry to hear you had trouble with the installation. Since we have such a vast variety of hardware, you will always find a person having trouble with a specific distro I believe. That’s why having so many to choose from is awesome - but also a bit daunting at the start. Glad it’s working now, hope it stays that way.

I remember you asking about what distro to pick, what a wonderful follow-up post. Thank you so much for sharing this.

Thanks for the explanation! I agree, this has been very helpful already. Now I go and do some reading on it.

Oh I see, thanks. I thought you could also edit images with Inkscape. I’m apparently not very well versed in these topics.

Curious why you would need Gimp and Inkscape? Wouldn’t one of them be enough? Is one of them better suited for certain tasks?

Some others on ProtonDB are reporting this. For me switching to an older version (7.0-6) worked fine.

EA App works great with Bottles. I haven’t tried Ubisoft Connect myself, but the website says it works on a “gold” level - so might have some problems.

You can use the Bottles installers for that: https://docs.usebottles.com/bottles/installers Here’s the list of all apps they have preconfigured: https://usebottles.com/appstore/

Well, these launchers can be a bit confusing at first, but you will get used to all that. And if you still have questions, that’s what the community is here for.

You can select GE-Proton in Heroic under “Wine Manager”.

Most games simply work for me in Heroic but sometimes I have to try a few versions until it’s working properly.

That’s not too hard a question for me, I’ve been using the same DE for years: KDE
