OExactly, and im too autistic to NOT risk it all in favor of finding shit out
DThis is cool, but I will be honest, I kind of want to promote alternatives that are Linux friendly, even if just wrapped web apps, than run VMs, with RDP and all that nonsense.
OStill, if it gets to it, imma invest on ssd from now on, hdd is suffering
WMaybe it would make sense have Bazzite specific documentation for it but it's going to be quite a challenge to make a ujust automation for it. However, I am definitely going to test this out... I didn't know about this project
DI agree. I actually run a small community dedicated to that kind of thing. It's about providing options. Once they're on Linux then it'll be easier for them to try out alternatives.
My brother needed Office for work and used a tool called Cassowary, which is both the successor and predecessor to winapps :p. Once he could get settled into Linux it was possible to look at alternatives that could get him away from it. We settled on Obsidian + LanguageTool Extension + Pandoc.

DThe recommendation comes from experience getting people to switch to Linux and more recently Bazzite.
OWell, looks like it all turned out fine
DI also run a small game dev community and asked about the Bazzite DX image but didn't get any takers :P. I did have some initial ideas about the various niches in the game dev space. For example those who go for minimal game sizes. But they weren't fleshed out so I didn't comment
AHey just the right amount of acoustic to test it out and have a gf
OExactly, the sweet acoustic spot
Pwhy does the taskbar not change color
VSend a screenshot of your plasma style
Pglobal theme?
VNo, plasma style, it's further down in the list
P
VUse breeze
Pthanks
DTotally fair. The friction that exists, even with tools like this, usually lets them more easily.ove on from them after the switch. So I get it.
Can you link me to the community, I would like to help out when I can.
I just think there might be some difficulty getting all the virt stuff added ontop of gaming stuff. But possible

DWell, we are getting a Bazzite DX 
Phow do i make the taskbar icons centered
AI don't think there's enough slack to add dx components to the core image
AThe guys are talking about sysext
ABut it's still theoretical
OSext? 
AU wish
OLmaoo
Li've bought a steam controller for my llgo >:3
Gwhats a good global theme for kde
DWell worst case documentation would be good. (Which I don't mind writing if required).
The community isn't on discord. It's a forum with a large gaming audience. I take more a guerilla approach. I have my little corner that I use so whenever a thread comes up with something bad, like Google being bad or Microsoft being dumb, I post the relevant alternatives and point people to my little corner of the forum for further discussion. It's been quite effective in conversion I think. We get some cool people coming in.
If you want to see the thread I don't mind DMing it to you though.

DI can only handle so much volume :p
Ldoes anyone here have a reliable way to share files between a windows guest and linux host
Li tried to use virtiofs/winfsp and even following guides step by step, they dont work
Li'd be happy to use my network to transfer files, since i have my own router in my room
Lwireless bandwith isnt an issue, but virtiofs just is not working and its starting to piss me off
DOne other thing I've found people worry about is Linux compatibility with their laptop or future laptop. I'm not really a hardware guy so I don't know off the top of my head the various laptops other than the Linux focused, XPS, Thinkpads or Framework. Does anyone know a list of known compatible laptops? Or is that something that needs crowdsourcing.
Lis hardware compatibility with linux really a problem nowadays
Lother than the obvious, nvidia, ive never ran into any hardware compatibility issues on any machine
DThere's various small issues. Certain thinks like speaker amps, fingerprint readers etc. On a couple lenovo laptops there's a kernel issue with the standby working every time. Beyond that there's peripherals that may not be fully featured.
DRegardless though if it's a Major issue it is something people worry about. You're never really certain what may or may not work when you install Linux on a laptop meant for Windows.
DForums are even better. Love forums. Dm me the link
DIt's all up in the air. The bigger the following for a brand, the better the support. Dell, Lenovo, HP, Asus all have good support. Even if it requires efforts like this discord. There is enough people where there are Linux focused devs that start contributing and figuring things out.
Obscure brands are a crapshoot but also tend to use generic stuff that works mostly.
In general these days, it's either custom shit from the big guys that needs extra code and kernel stuff, or Nvidia

DI think that's the issue. When we're talking in broad terms to someone if they should switch to Linux there's that caveat of "Assuming your laptop doesn't have issues with Linux" (which I literally just copy pasted from someone else) because of that custom stuff. If we had something more concrete we could instead provide an action to do instead, i.e. Check if your laptops supported here ->. That's what I do when people ask about game compatibility and it makes my life way easier.
A big barrier to a lot of people is the effort of research. You place a pre-researched list in their faces they're more likely to actually follow through. Path of least resistance stylee.

DObviously ProtonDB style hardware list easier said than done of course
Ihey am I being silly because when I try to type on my system with bazzite it just kinda stops typing sometimes, deletes a character, and then retypes it like half a second later
AUnless you buy a business laptop Linux support is a crapshoot
II thought "oh i'll update my system", and when I went to do that, it has just kinda frozen the process without actually doing anything
Ior a jailbreakable chromebook
AJust like there is one Linux kernel, we should focus on buying certain laptops
