To Nobara's credit, they probably have the kernel rollbacks Fedora Workstation provides right?

WIn nobara you could use timeshift to just jump back but you had to remember to set it up
Anot all the issues were kernel related, I remember one time there was an update that defaulted the Legion Go's gamescope-session refresh rate values as
Which broke literally every single game in gamescope-session until it was fixed to
LGO screen is 144hz
60,120.Which broke literally every single game in gamescope-session until it was fixed to
60,144LGO screen is 144hz
VI know not all issues are kernel related, which is why I prefer atomic's approach
Aand GE owns a Legion Go
Aso that update was an unpleasant surprise
VJust saying, there's at least some credit due.
VYeah that's frustrating
Abut note, I also speak from the perspective of someone who's been helping a lot of other users for to troubleshoot. I maintain the legion-go-tricks repo, and Nobara was definitely more troublesome to support for everyday users.
Abazzite is much more friendly for non-technical users, can't expect everyone to know how to setup timeshift, track down regressions, etc
WHe has done awesome work for the linux gaming community with ProtonGE, also Bazzite uses a bunch of stuff that he did. So yeah definitely great work there. But I like this Atomic Desktop thing
Abut Nobara is definitely much easier to do custom kernel stuff, e.g. kernel bisects are far easier on Nobara
VOh yeah GE's work is great
VThat's the benefit of something lot image based, you're less "constrained" to the image.
AI think Bazzite is better from a user support perspective, Nobara is better if you require a lot of flexibility in managing your system.
VPossibly on slower connections and older hardware I'd argue too
Vrpm-ostree is just kinda slow
WI think the speed will improve over time
VOh it will
VBut you will need to install those updates lul
WYeah the 3GB updates twice a day is a bit much lol
Atbh on my daily drivers, nowadays I just rebase to specific bazzite versions and do an update every few weeks or so.
AI'm not looking for a daily rolling distro
VI don't think I've updated my Steam Deck in 3 weeks
VBUT
VI've not used it much
VI'd recommend weekly-ish if you do use it more regularly
Aeh, if Valve could get away with rolling old kernels for months at a time on SteamOS, I think Bazzite is fine for me with a monthly cadence.
WYeah I turned off the auto updates but I've been updating so I can reproduce issues
AI have my LGO on latest stable to catch issues
Abut everything else is pinned
VYou can definitely do monthly, I'd just suggest more often if you can do it
Ai have an arch system and usually update every 3 weeks
Aor when i try to install a package and it has expired
Awhich is every 2 weeks
VI don't know if I installed too much BS but the one time I did this it just refused to work properly.
WYeah arch has like 1 GB of updates every hour
VThis WAS back when I installed a lot of useless BS
Aalways works except last update clicking became weird
Aso thats the way it is now
Aclassic 14yo experience
VI tried installing arch on a laptop recently, I just got anxiety using it lmfao
R@antheas I can confirm that, after powering off the device. The 80% charge limit still applies while the device was turned off with charger connected.
Aperfect
VI'm not worried about my actions because I'm not too stupid but updates are scary
Aso i guess it only resets when it boots
WMust say the Bazzite community here on discord is quite friendly overall. Some of the Facebook Linux groups are quite bad
VI think Facebook may be the issue there haha
RI have been on Arch Linux for 14-15 years. Now I'm on Arch with Hyprland. Which I have a waybar which shows the number of package which have updates. Which makes me
pacman -Syu more often.VMost Linux groups I encounter are pretty welcoming.
Vgroups as in just online circles, not specifically facebook.
