Tat best, you got Bazzite implementing the classic Steam color scheme, but that's about it
TNobara has shifted its primary DE to be KDE for a variety of reasons. See https://nobaraproject.org/category/changelog/ starting at "Nobara Official has now be rebased on KDE instead of GNOME for several reasons:"
KThat being said both they and we offer GNOME versions
KAnd both will work on a laptop
Jif you change it to the thumbnail layout it remembers
UWhat would be a new user friendly distro for my laptop? If anyone has suggestions
UOff topic tho lol
T
USo you guys like u blue?
LBazzite good
UI don't think id want that for my main PC tho idk
TI use Bazzite on my desktop + Deck
UThe setup is cool it downloads all the stuff u could want
UHopefully I can put it into testing before I get stuck in game mode again
Khow are you stuck exactly?
UI'm not stuck rn
Kin general though, there's no known/open issue about this
UGnome got stuck in game mode last night
UI put it into deck support
UOr bazzite help
KI sold my deck, barely ever used the thing. It was too large to casually carry around for on the go times, and there was no reason to use it at home.
UIn bed gaming is awesome
UMaybe my issues are because I have the 64gb model
Kunless you've replaced the drive, then yes
UBut I have a 1tb ssd
Kthen you're fine, unrelated
UOn gnome in desktop was ur steam keyboard too big
UIt was like that last night too
Kcontrolled by steam, it's one size
Kthere's a CSS loader theme to change the size
U
Kthat's huge
UKde was normal size
Kdid you change your display scale?
Kshould be 100%
UI haven't touched anything uet
UYet
UStill doing initial setup
UI told it to download too many apps lol
USo taking ages
UInstalled stock silverblue, it’s been stuck at “custom layer needed” for more than one hour
Kthat is a download, it is pulling a 3GB image from ghcr.io
Kfor most users this should take 20 minutes
Kor less
Uyeah, is there any way I can see its download speed? Cause it seems too slow
Krpm-ostree doesn't expose that sadly
UI can’t download the image myself to see at what speed it downloads it, right?
KYou should be able to with another utility
KGitHub
Work with remote images registries - retrieving information, images, signing content - GitHub - containers/skopeo: Work with remote images registries - retrieving information, images, signing content
KBut unfortunately we only host on ghcr, so if this is an issue you're having specifically with that there's little we can do
