I’m on Debian + GNOME right now, which works fine for me, but I plan on trying out Pop! OS in the next couple weeks. I’ve put off a long time because it’s downstream of Ubuntu and I’m no longer a fan of Canonical’s direction.

The big anti-cheat tools (BattleEye and EAC) are already compatible. The only remaining problems are a small number of developers that intentionally announced that they will be proactively blocking linux… like Bungie.

Now if Valve can just give us an up-to-date version of SteamOS for desktops…!

Debian is my go-to. So long as you’re already comfortable with Linux, you can get gaming working with a tiny bit of elbow grease… and unlike some other distros, Debian is rock-solid.

The gay agenda involves two gallons of milk, two dozen eggs, and some potting soil. I can get the milk and eggs if you can go to the hardware store for that soil.

Context is everything. You are deliberately conflating a ridiculous joke with a veiled threat. You know the difference, so why are you feigning ignorance?

Whatever happened to Android being FOSS?

I liked Windows 11 when it first landed, then came the forced updates that continually reinstalled trash you removed… like Edge and Teams. And then came the invasive advertising for OneDrive and other Microsoft products.

I’m running dual boot now with Debian + Gnome on a separate partition, and slowly weaning myself of Windows entirely. The only thing I’ll miss is GamePass.

This is the only reason I stopped using Ubuntu and switched to plain old Debian + GNOME. I want nothing more to do with snap.

Shadow Tactics is GREAT. I highly, highly recommend it.

My hope is that they’re working on a SteamDeck-based mini gaming desktop/console.

Debian + GNOME.

Historically I’ve been a huge fan of Ubuntu, but I just can’t tolerate Snap any more and started moving away from Ubuntu in general.

Ohhh, I’ll have to check this out. I’ve been gradually moving away from Ubuntu toward Debian (w/ GNOME) for a while because Snap is hot garbage and I don’t want to have anything to do with it. Were it not for Snap, I still really like Ubuntu.

Intel or ARM?

The battery life on Apple Silicon (at least on MacOS) is so good it’s bonkers. I’ve been curious about how well Linux does, but I haven’t successfully gotten a Linux distro w/ desktop fully running on my M2 MacBook yet (driver issues).

Historically I’ve done exactly that. Debian for servers, Ubuntu for workstations (because I like GNOME). But my hate for Snap runs so deep that I’ve started using Debian w/ GNOME more and more often over the last year or so.
