I feel you. Ive been going through this loop over and pver again. Ive landed on the fedora based Universal Blue for this reason. Bluefin for my desktop and bazzite for my gaming PCs. Sometimes you just want your system to be stable and get out of your way and i really appreciate thay about fedora.

How about Bari Weiss?

Literally TODAY someone I know installed an application called “PDF viewer for android” that had a green adobe icon and it started wrecking absolute havoc on their phone with pop ads and redirects to scam support sites.

The AppStore is full of this shit.

This is America Don’t catch you slippin’ now Don’t catch you slippin’ now Look what I’m whippin’ now This is America (Woo)

Digital Piracy is a moral imperative. Approved

All your icons should not be the same two three four colors. It gets harder to distinguish one app from another. It all becomes noise functionally.

Bazzite/bluefin so Fedora silverblue 😂

I will check later. I have two machines on my bench with Bazzite. One with a 7800xt and another with a 2070 super. I usually encounter most issues with Nvidia. Bazzite is usually on the bleeding edge driver.

I just think it’s neat!

Lol yes 😂

Honestly I’m ecstatic to see more Valve hardware. They’re setting the target for hardware for game developers which means a better experience for us all.

PC Game Developers will know they need to get they’re game running on deck (and now FRAME) if they want to hit the maximum size audience. Nvidia currently owns PC gaming but they’re not good stewards of the PC gaming ecosystem anymore (nor is Microsoft).

• I really have no interest in title’s that beg me to run buggy builds on a $2000 graphics card that is less than 2 years old to be “playable”. (Looking squarely at unreal engine 5 games)

• I have no interest in GPUs that cost 200% the cost of the rest of the PC.

I want AMD apus to dominate the space. I want Linux to empower them. I am tired and TBH my next gaming PC is going to end up running Kazeta.org at this rate.

Thank you for coming to my TEDex talk

The writing of this article was not the quality I would have preferred. The infotainment angle really makes it feel like their data can’t be trusted. With that being said,

“as long as you have a distro with an up to date kernel and the latest Mesa drivers your out of box experience won’t vary much at all.”

This is actually a greater challenge for the average user than they think it is. Its also why the universal Blue project exists. Using the OCI container model for the OS, they can easily upgrade and customize the kernel, drivers, and even upgrade to entire new versions of Fedora without batting an eye. This is the main reason I’ve switched over to Bazzite. The pain of updating is gone. Also, most images have the “-nvidia” version which alleviates the headaches of maintaining your Nvidia drivers.

Rant: If anything, this article shows that the nuances of the FOSS ecosystem is lost on them because they’re afraid of strange elitists imaginary neck beard criticizing them? I understand this is for comedic effect but it feels sophomoric and hacky; like they’ve missed the point. I would ask them to follow Jorge Castro a bit and understand the work he’s doing is specifically to make Linux for everyone else.

TBH they will be the last publication to come around to it. As Microsoft leaves us all no real choice in the matter, the future of the PC hobbyist is Linux, weather they like it or not so they need to stop complaining and start contributing.

I’m pretty sure if you use bazzite-dx you get the virtualization setup as a ujust set-up script

If you game and use ollama and want to try Linux I think you should check out Bluefin-DX as it is specially tooled for Nvidia AI nim and nemo container environment. Nvidia drivers are ready to go.

As for your CPU choice, if you can at some point get over to at minimum 12thgen Intel (11thgen I you’re willing to jump onto ali express ewaste) I think you would see a marked performance improvement overall.

I’m genuinely happy to see people trying out new stuff! I like seeing all the new approaches every distro takes, understanding real use cases, making interesting design decisions at each turn.

This is what it used to be like to be a PC enthusiast and I think it’s great to see computing become personal again.

Now CachyOS I’ve been following for a while and it seems much closer to something like endeavor which is still prone to all the potential issues I’ve experienced before. I’ve moved to ublue Bazzite and bluefin recently because the out of box experience is amazing and updates are pretty much immaculate.

I still don’t understand what Cachy does in its kernel optimization and BORE scheduler properly but I’d love to learn and understand.

Either way, I_see_this_as_an_absolute_win.gif

I’ve actually been using Bazzite-gnome-nvidia image on my main desktop for the past few weeks and I have to say it’s very slick.

My main issue with it is with scaling disabled everything seems slightly big or spaced out in comparison to when I ran windows? I’ve read up and it maybe has something to do with the default fractional scaling but I checked and I’m at 100%.

Other than that I’m very happy with it!
