VI know lol, that's the whole point
VIf you pick a shitass distro, you're gonna have a shitass time
VIf you don't, it'll be fine
BEven Arch is automated now.
BUnless you choose a Distro with a Learning Curve (Gentoo, Nix), you'll be fine as long as you learn the Command Line.
Karch for sure has a learning curve
Keven archinstall isn't easy
VI was reading the comments on a post on PCMR
VAnd like
VA lot of that shit would probably be hard on Arch
VBut like
VBazzite, or hell even Nobara or Garuda?
VIt's probably fine
Ti think recommending someone who wants a fairly simple gaming setup to use arch is just bound to be a terrible experience unless they're really into having a minimalist base that they have to build up and maintain, and probably keeping an eye on for any manual intervention on https://archlinux.org/
VHoesk comes to mind lol
Twas very determined to run arch for some reason yeah
Tbroke their install several times
VLiterally just because he'd heard other people say it's good
VHe didn't know jack shit about it's advantages or disadvantages
K"can I uninstall the terminal? I don't need it"
K"wtf why is my install broken AGAIN"
VKwin? More like Kwithout
VTo be fair, I have broken one install like him before
VOne
Jreminds me of the whole ltt fiasco too
Keveryone has, I broke a GPU trying to replace the firmware with a newer card's firmware thinking it'd give me DX9.0c
Jhoping when they inevitably revisit linux they look at something a bit more resilient
VLinus didn't reinstall Linux 32 times.
Kbut 20+ times in a week? OK
BEndeavour is pretty good for an Arch Distro.
VThe one thing I've broken before is trying to install GPU hooks for single GPU passthrough, because it's basically impossible lol
VNo beginner should be trying to use an arch based distro imo
Ji never had it happen to me on arch but one of my friends had her install broken after an update
BThey shouldn't.
BI kind of wish I started on Fedora.
Jinitramfs didn't regenerate after a kernel update
Kvery common, they nuked grub just recently
J...again?
HJust tried to install bazzite on my sd. Tried with both balena and fedora media tool. Got the latest offline version from the github when I booted into the usb it said pre release and I had no continue button so I couldn't go any further is there another place to get the isos from? Or did I get the wrong one?
DCan I easily use Feral Gamemode on Heroic games running in
bazzite-arch on distrobox?
KI don't believe gamemode works in the container, but you can use system76-scheduler on the host
DOh, that is annoying, rip
DMy host is
silverblue-nvidia, so I dont have the system76 schedulerKvery trivial to layer if you do want it
DI am avoiding layering packages, trying to keep my system as clean and upgradable as possible
Dso I can jump around images easily in the future
Tyou mean in the installer right? like it's not scaled correctly?
HCorrect and I couldn't scroll around the window.
Tyeah there's a fix hold on, alternatively i can link an older online ISO too let me do both hold on
