Thanks I’ll give this (and the other Fedora-specific reply) a shot.

Fish is so helpful

Thanks!

Can’t seem to get this to work on my framework laptop (running Bazzite).

Anyone have any insight on how to do this with the FW keyboard?

I don’t. I switched to Bazzite after using EndeavourOS for a while, and those are the only two I’ve used. I see no reason to ever go back from Bazzite though.

With immutable distros you can “rebase” very easily to a different immutable distro with literally one command. I haven’t really messed with it yet, but it seems pretty straightforward.

it took an infernally long time to open the store, search for an app, and then install that app.

After about a year of Linux and using package managers/AUR to install and update software, it blows my mind to think that I would ever choose to do it a different way.

I don’t know how I put up with that shit for so many years.

Goddamn can this man be any more GOATed?

I will add that, after getting my first Pixel as my previous phone, I’ve found the Google vanilla Android experience is better than Android on other carriers that fill the phone with bloat that you can’t get rid of without rooting.

Dude, same. I cannot understand it (for games. I’m sure people have valid reasons if they’re using the Deck for some other purpose). It seems there is a cohort of otherwise relatively tech savvy people who are just terrified of all things “Linux.”

Maybe they heard horror stories from friends or family while growing up and aren’t aware of just how close to complete compatibility Proton is. In fact, in some cases, it can somehow run games better than if one were to dual boot and install in Windows.

Even Valve’s own Steam Deck verification should be taken with a grain of salt, it seems as though they’re being extra conservative with those. I’ve gotten several "unsupported " games working (very easily), for example , Dark Souls: Prepare to Die edition is listed on Steam as “unsupported,” but it works great (with DSFix even) on my Deck.

ProtonDB is a far better resource for anyone reading this who hadn’t heard of it.

But yeah, it’s almost like this subconscious aversion to Linux. And they want to be in their comfort zone I guess.

Does it mean Nvidia support on par with that for AMD?

I’m probably not the right person to answer this, but my immediate thought was no. I believe AMD allows for open source drivers on Linux, which this specifically states Nvidia won’t be doing.

I second EndeavourOS. My first distro and it’s been a great experience. I’ve felt no desire to switch.

Steam/games have worked great.

Have you tried using reader mode in Firefox? Or did they fix that one? Still works for me on other sites like New York Times.

I switched my laptop EndeavorOS in 2023. Windows 11 was the last straw. Terrible OS.

You can do all of that with most basic file explorers. I use Dolphin on KDE. Change the view to “details” and right click the top and choose which metadata fields you want to show up. Then you can sort or filter using metadata.

A true agent of chaos

But regardless of what distro they use, they’re probably going to have to Google stuff every now and then. If they’re not ready for that, then maybe they’re not ready for Linux.

I switched a few months ago, and EndeavorOS is the only distro I’ve used and see no reason to switch. It’s been fantastic.

My private tracker days are behind me after they shut down OiNK, and then later what.cd. Though I can’t say I don’t miss it sometimes. At its peak, What was an amazing place.

Recently switched to Linux a couple months ago and can’t recommend EndeavorOS more. It’s great.

I’ll look into it, thanks.

Tocuhpad worked fine with 3+ fingers when it was still running Windows (before I put Linux on it).

I’ll look into using KWin for this. As I said in the other reply, I’m using Wayland, so if that’s a feature from X, that could be why I can’t do it currently.
