So good. Now let’s eat Grandma.

That’s interesting. Always good to be able to make informed choices

Alone. I don’t currently have friends that play it, but I still have a good time. Works great on Deck, and you can even make use of HDR settings, if you have an OLED version.

It’s a good time for SNES spiritual successors!

Mostly CrossCode. A fun little sci-fi action puzzler that pays homage to the SNES era of games. It’s similar to Spirit of Mana. Low power requirements, and it has a Linux-native version that works better than the Windows version (you need updated engine files if you play from itch.io).

I’m also playing a little bit of No Man’s Sky, but just here and there; I’m mostly playing that on my desktop.

Don’t know much about proxmox, but I know that Hyper-V tries to create every VM with Secure Boot turned on, and every Linux distro I’ve tried won’t boot the installer like that.

Maybe double check the settings of the VM.

Not banned in my area, and I use reusable bags anyway. So do other people, though it’s still uncommon.

Frogs are smart enough to jump out of a pot when it gets too hot.

Humans don’t seem to have that awareness.

I have. I have it on a laptop and will probably put it on my desktop (waffling between Bazzite and Arch). It’s great, and it’s one of the easiest setups I’ve had to get going with gaming. I recommend joining their Discord, too.

The only thing that is currently a problem, that may be a non-issue when bootc has a full release, is installing certain VPN clients. If it exists as a flatpak, RPM, or in fedora repos, should be fine. If it installs by copying various files around and making system changes on demand at runtime (like Private Internet Access), doesn’t currently work.

I agree, and also, the Arch distros I recommended have varying levels of preset configurations. Garuda is about as opinionated and complete as any green user could want, whereas Endeavor and Cachy are blank slates but not as bare as starting from scratch.

Arch also has the biggest community and the hands-down-best wiki out there, so when something happens, there’s a lot of people who can help.

Cool. My first thought was how this would differ from blendOS, which is also immutable Arch. Seems like the main difference is the use of systemd-sysupdate to handle unprivileged updates.

Not sure how rollbacks are handled, but I only glanced at it.

I think a better option than live boot is VM. Live boot doesn’t always save settings, and you may not get a full-install experience, since certain things are set up after install.

For gaming try:

• Bazzite (Atomic Fedora)
• Nobara (Fedora)
• Garuda Dragonized Edition (Arch)
• Linux Mint (Ubuntu)
• EndeavorOS (Arch)
• CachyOS (Arch)

And now I must follow suit

Translation: We don’t feel like taking the effort to support Linux, so we need a scapegoat.

It involves a lot of self-setup and management. A lot of the benefits of Valve working on Arch will find their way to upstream and then to other distros, so that benefit is likely very small.

Neither. Use yay, because it sounds happy.

The BT/Network thing is a really important one. Sometimes you can replace them with a more compatible one (like an Intel AX201 vs AX210), but sometimes companies will cut deals and get some weird Broadcom module that only works on Windows for one specific board version.

Those are some pretty old cards. I wonder if that’s at least part of the source of your issues.

Read more books. Seriously. Having a fresh batch of words to draw upon helps me a lot.

It’s Battle for Wesnoth for me!
