The problem for me is that its so damn back and forth. One driver will be perfectly fine, and then the next will introduce some random new issue. Rn 580 has caused elite dangerous to crash with some out of memory error, and VR is completely broken. Im really considering switching from Nobara because I want a distro that has a built in tool to easily downgrade nvidia drivers.

KDE Connect fucking RULES! The ability to send clipboard from phone to pc, send files, control media, remote mouse input, its low key one of the most useful software I’ve ever used.

I have a 2060 super, I’m on nobara 41 kde with no issues. Tbh, this might just be a gnome issue, but you might just be unlucky.

Friend? No. Roommates perhaps.

Yea.

Jack Russel moment

For me the straw that broke the camels back was the fucking updates. I got so tired of Windows forcing updates, and I never could get the registry edits to disable it to stick. Besides, you shouldn’t have to EDIT THE REGISTRY to just turn off updates! But there’s also stuff I’d really miss if I went back (I’ve been on Nobara for a year now) like the package management on Linux. I love that I can choose to update on MY terms, and that almost everything updates during the process. I have a few random jar apps for Switch hacking stuff, and an appimage for R2Modman, but besides that I don’t have to worry about needing to download the latest version of shit all the time. AND, having most of what you need just available on a software store is so nice. Never mind that its so much safer to not have to download random .exe’s from all over the internet. These days the only thing I actually struggle with is modding certain games. Like BG3 took me awhile, but then I found out there’s a Linux mod manager called lampray and it works perfectly. Then there’s also the fact you have to know how to do DLL overrides for things like bepinex or anything that adds some kind of DLL. But otherwise, it just works and infuriates me less than windoze

This really was awesome to watch live. Specifically I remember the part where the camera was almost completely covered, and the fin was barely visible. But juuuuuust barely, you could see that the fin was actuating, and it was alive! And then the crowd gets hype. That was the moment where I was like, wait, this could still happen!

If you liked Debian, definitely Pop as it’s basically Debian but with easier to install nvidia drivers. But also if you liked using Fedora, I’d consider Nobara, it’s a distro maintained by a Redhat engineer and has an nvidia image like Pop OS. Stay tf away from Manjaro, you might wanna look into EndeavorOS if you want Arch for gaming

Definitely time to just use debian, mint MX, or pop os even. I did a lot of hopping though and I’ve settled on Nobara KDE. Mint was great but the Bluetooth was finicky for some reason, and debian is mostly just ubuntu with some gui stuff removed. PopOS is basically just debian until COSMIC but still good too.

We need to go back to pre-discord and bring back forums man. Don’t get me wrong, discord has its uses, all my friends use it, but discord killing forums and websites was really bad for the internet as a whole. Like look at dolphin, made before discord, it has its own website, its own forums. Hopefully if Nintendo does ever come after dolphin they’ll at least be able to keep the website and forums up.

God I fucking hope so man. I’m so tired of Nvidia not working on Wayland properly. It’ll be so nice to have VRR and gSync on Wayland without the awful flickering.

They say he’s busy Doo-han other things

Really recommend mint, or ubuntu. Please for the love of god stay away from arch and all of it’s derivatives, or at least try Ubuntu/Mint first. Also do NOT use manjaro it sucks, it is not maintained well at all

Would be totally in character in SNW tho

I just moved and I was literally in shock when Mint auto-added my Dads printer INSTANTLY and I printed on it first try no problem. I have literally had so many issues with printers (and this one) and I honestly expected printing to be out of the question on Linux so I’m definitely impressed.

Me when I open my laptop and get a fucking ad for windows 11

HD is still the standard for most? I don’t know of a single person who uses a 4k TV. 4K is still in early adopters phase.

Nice to see them branch out to new ideas. Hope this one takes root.
