Thread 718104360

Have you transitioned to Linux yet /v/? What have you been playing on Linux lately?

When will consumers understand that kernel level anticheat is there just to shut up retards who blame the game when they lose and it does not stop hackers?

what linux do you recommend? i've heard bazzite and mint the most. and i mean what do you recommend for beginners or people who dont wanna spend 5 hours a day just to get any game up and running or just want most things to work so no arch.

i'm playing the sega cd version of Snatcher

heh

it's extremely easy to just install mint or bazzite on a thumbdrive and test it out. you dont have to uproot your entire life for a huge permanent OS switch.

>>718104360 (OP)
i want to but every time my experience isnt so great and i end up going back on windows to game

>>718104659
if you want very window 10 like look to your OS then you want KDE and Mint doesnt have that. You could install fedora or something. Just look at steam hardware survey and as long as you pick out what you see there it cannto be that niche that you are fucked

>>718104659
Mint is for people who want to use Windows without using Windows, but it's actually kind of more frustrating when it doesn't work like Windows because it's like 90% the same experience

>>718104659
Arch is quite literally the most user friendly because of how fleshed out the wiki is and literally any problem you'll ever run into already has a thread in the forum with step by step instructions on how to fix it. Absolutely no distro will ever

>>718104360 (OP)
I will never use linACKs

>>718104659
mint is ok, but is a bit behind in drivers and native software versions without some extra tinkering. Never tried Bazzite but it's more up to date, you will be limited with what you can do in Bazzite since it's immutable

TROONIX IS SERVER OS ONLY INCEL BENCHODS USE TROONIX PLEASE SAAR DO THE NEEDFUL AND USE WINDOWS 11 MY FAMILI DIE OF STARVATION KALUS SAID WON'T SEND ANY RUPEES ARE YOU LISTEN TO ME YOU FACKIN BASERD BEACH

>>718104659
Try bazzite but I'd stick with mint or pop os, considering you most likely have a gaming pc pop os which is slightly heavier will run with no issues.
You can always launch virtualbox and try it whenever and for how long you want.

>t. doesn't own a Steam Deck

>>718107220
I do though, but I don't see what that has to do with what I said.

>>718104659
bazzite's fine but it gets in the way if you want to tinker

>>718104980
ironically, yeah. once you get arch set up with a DE it stays the fuck out of your way. don't bother with hyprland or other gimmicky shit like that.

>>718107349
0 troubleshooting.

>>718104360 (OP)
i used Linux for 4 years.

don't bother, it's dogshit. The only good Linux is Arch and it's derivatives. I also used a bit of Bazzite on my desktop, it's the biggest meme OS in the Linux world.

>>718104360 (OP)
playing a lot of total warhammer 3 on fedora 42 kde plasma
the windows version in proton for mods and multiplayer
works like a charm, no issues

>>718104659
Fedora KDE Plasma
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed
Arch

>>718107436
Not true actually. The fixed system image actually breaks some native Linux games on steam, I have a script I have to run after every update to unlock and reinstall the missing packages so I can play my games. And besides, the steam deck uses Arch, its just that the system image itself is handled by steam.

>>718107683
doesn't steamos come with distrobox now? shouldn't be necessary.

>>718104659
SteamOS lol

>>718104659
Mint is likely the easiest since most troublehsooting will involve Ubuntu and apt. I am on Gentoo and would say that while it and its package manager (which is the only real thing that matters between distros) is the best one it also requires some knowledge.

>>718107756
Oh, I haven't used it in the last couple months. I didn't realise that they did that. Handy.

what the actual fuck

>>718108294
rpm-ostree, when it runs, uses a fuckload of resources for some reason. i run ublue KDE on my old thinkpad and it runs well until it decides to update in the background.

>>718107876
Gentoo is what you use when you need to waste your time and can't figure out how to break arch enough to have something to repair. :-)

how come the only people getting mad in Linux threads are also obsessed with trannies?

>>718108565
I don't see the point of Gentoo these days unless you use it for its purpose, which is a metadistribution.

>>718108613
mass replying jeet

>>718108648
After using USE flags for so long, I can't go back.

>>718108648
You can fuck with the epic flags to make it red and you can remove systemd to make more work for yourself.

>>718108565
Arch is what you install when you can't install gentoo. Portage is honestly just too good I can't go back.

>>718108648
Gentoo is super niche, unless you have a specific setup in mind there's no point to installing it over something else.
Installing it gives you bragging rights though.

>>718104360 (OP)
Im using Fedora, its decent, ive had some trouble with port forwarding though

just got the itch to replay Jedi Knight. using the Flatpak build of OpenJKDF2 because I'm lazy and didn't want to download a gigabyte of dependencies to build a 14 MB executable.

>>718108909
If you can install arch, you can install Gentoo. Unless you have some mental illness that allows you to work on something for 30 minutes, but makes you foam from the mouth if you spend over a hour.
Gentoo just takes longer to install, extremely long if you actually compile the fat shit like plasma.

>Have you transitioned to Linux yet /v/?
I tried, then I ran benchmarks. too much of a performance hit. ~20% on most games, one game event went as far as 97% performance decrease.
Fuck that. Maybe I'll try again in a few years.

>>718104360 (OP)
i went linux in 2015 and haven't looked back
