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
AAnd have great support for those
AManufacturers put a lot of validation to make sure their laptops work with windows
AEven then windows support is b tier too
Gif i manage to port bazzite on ps4 what would i get ?
Mself satisfaction?
Gi want in return a steam game that i want 
VIt's x86 so it theoretically would work but not that great lol
AGaming4linux news article
DI agree totally but the issue being there's no central list of laptops that work well with Linux that I can point to and secondly I can't expect people to pay for a new laptop just for Linux support.
AThere's this miscommunication that all it takes is having a central database of laptop issues then it will work
ASomebody has to fix the issues
AConsumer laptops don't have kernel drivers
VCan I use Bazzite on this
AAnd the kernel drivers that do exist are not good
DWhy? It's just for awareness
AFor laptop features that is
AGPU drivers work sure
AWifi works
AThe platform features of the laptops don't work though and they make a huge difference
AIn usability
AOr they partly worj
AThe reason framework laptops work in fedora is because framework gave laptops to fedora folks
