I started Remember Me, but the camera is complete ass. I played it at 240Hz, but it bounced around so much, I got motion sickness.

I’m going to give it another try with a controller and at 60Hz, but if it’s still sickness-inducing, I’ma have to drop it.

It’s what I have done. They’ll work slower, but you’ll get a sense of what they can do, how hard it is to do things, etc.

When you’re ready, I think all but Bazzite have Live ISO options, so you can see what it’s like on bare metal. When you’re satisfied, install your favorite!

First, gaming distros are vanilla distros with opinionated tweaks and additions to support the hobby of gaming. It might be as simple as having Steam pre-installed to as complex as having unique kernels or custom package repos maintained by the distro maintainers.

But that doesn’t mean vanilla is always the best choice, because not everybody wants to spend time optimizing everything. Some distros even have easy setup scripts for otherwise complex installations (like for Davinci Resolve). Don’t feel like you need to pick vanilla to be a “true user.”

Some easy to set up Distros for gaming that are ready ootb:

• Bazzite: Fedora Atomic, practically bulletproof, just works. Downsides are that adding new packages is not the same as other distros, and there’s a learning curve to it beyond flatpaks. Some software can’t be installed at all if it doesn’t come as an RPM or AppImage (Private Internet Access’s VPN client, for example).

• CachyOS: Arch with an optimized kernel and optimized packages. Comes with some easy-install scripts. Tool to easily select different kernels and schedulers. Currently another very popular choice. Like the above, this just works. There’s some debate about how significant the optimizations really are, but they’re there nonetheless.

• Nobara: Traditional Fedora. Like Bazzite, just works. Has a custom update manager that acts as a GUI wrapper for your usual cli tools. Maintained by GloriousEggroll, a widely respected user that maintains the GE versions of Proton.

• PikaOS: Debian (not Ubuntu). Combines the philosophies of Nobara and CachyOS and puts them atop Debian. Better setup scripts than even CachyOS, a more user friendly update tool than Nobara’s, and has the same kernel selection and scheduler tools as CachyOS, plus the same package optimizations. Don’t let the fact that it’s Debian underneath fool you. This has the latest kernel and drivers.

I would try all of those in a VM and see what you like about them. They’re all unique and worth a look.

ETA: all of these have Nvidia versions, so all of them should work with your card.

Gotta have something to do when we’re unable to retire. 😉

Fr, though, duck typing in Python is one of my biggest annoyances.

I use Bazzite on a laptop that’s shared by family, and it’s great. I never have to worry about downtime, and I know they’ll always have a computer should something happen to me.

I once had a bad update, and I just used rpm-ostree rollback, and I was up and running again. Really great for anyone that wants to set it and forget it.

How far away/when did this version of the galaxy exist? I didn’t see anything in the article that mentioned it.

Brain drain, the collapse of public universities that rely on international students (which is probably many), and making tourists, legal residents, and non-natural-born citizens afraid to come or stay here.

Constantly attacking foreigners will make them leave or never show up, leaving the US a little dumber, a little poorer, making a little less economic/scientific/social progress, and a little more white.

And it’s that last piece that they’ll trumpet among their propaganda outlets and call it a victory.

Trump is detaining European tourists in ICE camps for weeks for the “crime” of holding an incorrect visa (as determined by ICE for volunteering to do chores while staying with a host family).

I don’t think he cares too much about committing war crimes. He hired Hegseth specifically because he’s a loyalist who’s happy to commit war crimes. The fascists are in charge, and cruelty is the point.

I’m not even convinced that the Trump admin wouldn’t try to use denaturalization upon natural-born citizens and/or deport them for specious reasons.

They do not respect the rule or even the spirit of the law. Finding new and creative ways to interpret statutes is practically a sport to them.

Just 100%'d MiSide. A really great horror experience without being overly gory or using a bunch of cheap jumpscares, and there’s some fun and silly elements, too.

Linux Mint or Nobara would be great beginner distros and would each be great for gaming. If gaming is more important, I would lean towards Nobara. If general use is more important, Mint.

Keep in mind that you can try most of these out in a Virtual Machine. Some others to consider are PikaOS and CachyOS. I’m also working on my migration, and I install and set up everything with each ISO as if I was doing it for real, to see what hiccups I might run into. It will be slower, but it’s just a trial run, so just expect things to be faster when you do it for real!

Drop Norton, full stop.

This is the way. I sincerely wish you luck! That’s how good stuff gets started.

Alright, go out and make it, then. Nobody is stopping you.

I don’t know the reasoning, but since the uBlue main image is meant to be a sort of base template (iirc), my guess is there was a decision to downstream all of those additions, to allow child distributions to improve the build process and make their own opinionated changes.

You might try asking on the uBlue discord.

Women and BIPOC couldn’t possibly be as skilled as white men. No possible way they could pass the same tests and qualify to be astronauts.

Generally true when we’re talking about capitalism.

That’s not necessarily true for FOSS projects, however, since money making isn’t necessarily their goal. Linus Torvalds doesn’t force you to watch an ad or sell off contributors’ data to get the privilege of using the Linux kernel, for example. Bazzite doesn’t sell IP addresses of people who download their distro to data aggregators.

However, you should do your homework and check who is in charge of projects like these and note what changes they’re bringing.

And as someone who has had the pleasure of visiting the Houston Space Center and been inspired by what humans have achieved, that’s a genuine tragedy.

You can write to any folder in /var and /etc (/home is actually a symlink to /var/home).

Bazzite is atomic, and you can’t just install whatever you want wherever you want like a traditional distro. It sounds like you’re making directories in your home folder, so you should be fine to set everything up there, as long as Lutris knows that’s where the wine prefix is and your game knows where to find the mods.
