it can cause other weird issues which you cannot change through simple settings changes.

Sno dice, fedora 38 installer fails in the same way that the bazzite one does, black screen with a keyboard icon in the bottom right
KAh, like what?
Kexhibit is so damn nice
Han old issue back when i started using linux if you had used kde and gnome (but this is ages ago back when kde4 existed)
skype and all QT or KDE apps would get 2 px font on 1 DE but not the other even though your settings said 8px or idk 22px, this would persist even if you completely removed the other DE, some gnome apps would just not work properly or be slow.
otherwise issues that can still happen:
settings for KDE or GNOME will not always match what settings actually say they should be in some cases.
and if you removed your previous DE sometimes the system would still try open files in the uninstalled applications because they were set as default (luckily this is an easy fix but a new user wont necessarily understand that) and not updated.
essentially if you rebase between DEs you can end up with issues that would require manual fixing and we are not interested in supporting that.

KAh yeah you needed the gsettings not the graphical settings
SNow your making me feel old... I remember that issue. Also seem to remember it appearing towards the end of KDE3 when they did a QT upgrade I think it was (may have been 4 beta though, I'm old lol)
Hshows you how long i used linux, since i used kde3 on backtrack (predecessor to kali linux) because the weird ass wifi card i had would work ootb there.
remember MADWIFI!!?
certainly made me mad

there's a thing I haven't heard in years... and yes I think MADWIFI was well named it infuriated the hell out of me and most of my colleagues/friends at the timeHyeah so i just used backtrack because cool wallpaper and holy crap my wifi works!

Slol think I was prob still on Slack or Gentoo back then... how things have changed (for the better in the most part).
Hi was introduced to debian back in middle school but i didnt switch myself until high school
Hforgot if it was lenny, sarge or etch, but i remember the "new upcoming" release was supposed to be very big and important
SHmm was kinda of working by the time the whole "linux" thing came about was a UNIX user at the time though :p
SOh and started on basically BSD and OS/2 Warp >.> (yes I'm 50 this year lol)
Hand back when i changed to linux it was ubuntu 8.10 i switched to
Sgood choice for a beginner tbh, I still think at times it is but with the new "Cloud native" stuff it's becoming harder to recommend it for ease of use imo
Mya’ll knew what Linux was in grade school??? 
SThink some who were technically minded did (or the average rebel lol)
Hyes i did
KI first seriously used Linux in early 2016 I think, I installed fedora and installed nvidia drivers from the .run file
SI remember when Steam launched on Linux back in 2013 and I was so excited. Games were barely functional back then, but we were having fun
KI got a Kernel update and was confused why gdm didn't load
KI fixed it tho
SI was using Ubuntu on a couple machines for the longest time, the 11-15 releases. I still needed Windows though for quite a few things. I hopped between a few things like Fedora and elementaryOS. Honestly still really like elementary, I really enjoy Pantheon. I was using Antergos for a long while until they stopped existing. Then I moved to Endeavor and Arch for a bit, a bit of openSUSE Tumbleweed, and then to Fedora and Nobara, until 1.0 of Bazzite happened and now I live here.
Bazzite just has pretty much every tweak and change I would personally make to distros, and I don't have to worry about things exploding on a rolling release. I'll take the minor issues and I can test new things because I can easily rollback my system if things are funky.

SMe too me too lmao
Hfor me i have been on
debian --> ubuntu 8.10 - 19.10 (yes this was a singular install without reinstalls, just migrations to new disks using
on work systems it has been
debian --> centos --> debian/ubuntu --> centos --> debian/ubuntu --> proxmox with whatever :clueless:

Hmy home folder had crap from gnome2, gnome3 and unity
SI wish canonical kept unity alive, I really liked it. But they have sure made some decisions
SSure it still is kinda a thing, but it isn't really shipped by a lot of distros
SThat single install is super impressive lol
MI was too busy playing call of duty on Xbox live for Linux
GMy controllers on go stopped working on Waydroid. Where do I start debugging this
GIt’s recognizes it but none of the buttons work
Afps mode time
Ayay
WFor gaming it was Pop!_OS for almost 2 years >> Nobara >> some crazy distrohopping >> Bazzite.
My work linux journey has been quite short Pop!_OS 22.04 >> Ubuntu 22.04 >> Kubuntu 22.04. I want to go Aurora for work
Looks like there is an Ubuntu Unity community still https://ubuntuunity.org, they do seem to be up to date as they have released 24.04 but the Reddit looks kinda dead so no idea if people are using it or not

Got around to troubleshooting this again. So I neglected to mention I was using KDE as my desktop environment, I installed it over the top of the usual Fedora 39 release since the chipset firmware that shipped had a bug that made it impossible to start Wayland in the initial login screen or something. So if I switch to GNOME I can’t get the con...
Nhow do I convert my gnome install into a game mode install
Nthe kind that boots into game mode first
Drebase to deck image with gnome
Nthanks
Nok I rebased to an image that is supposed to start in gaming mode, but it doesn't boot into gaming mode. "return to gaming mode" also just goes back into desktop mode
Nhm. appears to be a known issue
WIf you reboot again, it might go directly into game mode, typically the first boot is always desktop mode for some of the setup
Nlemme try
Nnope. reboot still puts me in desktop mode
Pmy primary school barely had literature covering anything besides BASIC hobby computing and weird tangential linux stuff
