Athats more like the DE tho right?
OThen there's your answer.
LYou should keep hopping till you’re satisfied! I did my time and hopped across a lot of distros. Ultimately, it’s about what you value the most. I value stability and performance which Bazzite fills both needs.
L@Kyle Gospo what are your thoughts on having a GUI that calls the rollback functionality of ostree? Would that make sense considering it would make Bazzite even friendlier to newbies?
LUnless this already exists and I just missed it entirely
SIt's not a GUI, but there is
bazzite-rollback-helper
HYou can either install regular Fedora with Cinnamon or create your own UBlue image with Cinnamon. There's no need to switch just for a different desktop environment
SI also think a Debian based distro would probably be more compatible/perform better in the long run Id think
HNot really every distro is fine
SHi spen.
SHi
Hyou can just make a debian container for any software anyway
SMost of the guides I see for stuff on Linux like obscure fixes only seem to have instructions for Debian OSes too lol
SMaybe a Debian distro will be better on an old computer due to it's long-term support instead of rolling release
SBtw, does anyone know if the version of Sunshine which is installed with ujust has CUDA support in Wayland?
AWhile my desktop is still cozy on Bazzite, I've been pushing the boat out a bit on my lappy
WI've been wanting to try NixOS for a while. How are you finding it?
VI personally just wasn't a fan
VToo much time tinkering with my OS that could have been spent tinkering with things ON my OS
3hey! i have 2 problems, the first one is pretty harmless, but discover is EXTREEEEMLY long to do anything, the 2nd tho, is much more annoying, gearlever isn't showing any of my appimages and i don't know where they are
SI think that behaviour in discover is normal
SAt least it is the same for me
F- Discover issue
- GearLever bug I believe
3okay soo next question, where are the appimages installed by default?
K~/AppImages
3cuz i have to uninstall vencord (since it broke)
3oh yeah found it!
3thanks!
AIt's quite interesting that's for sure
ACertainly a learning experience
Awhich is fine, that's what I've been kinda looking for atm anyway
WYeah I've been enjoying learning about all this atomic desktop stuff. Really fun building your own Bazzite extended images in github. But yeah NixOS is somewhere on my Linux hop bucket list but I've gotten stuck with Bazzite lol. Enjoying it alot
AYeah like, I should note
Amy desktop is still bazzite
Anix is just on my laptop
Abecause bazzite does great for what I want from my desktop
Aexcept this issue I'm having with glitchy video output but I think it might be this issue https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/3352
GitLab
Hardware description: CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X GPU: Radeon RX 7800 XR / Navi 32 (Advanced Micro Devices,...
Ain fact I'm almost certain it's that
Awould explain why this only seems to happen in GPU accelerated situations where I have direct scanout enabled
Mis this the glitchyness I see when changing the nightlight state?
Mor the occasional complete screen blank flickering on my displayport monitor?
Mor both?
Maah
Mi see
Mit's the night light issue
Mtbh the complete screen blanking on the displayport display might be because the cable had a mouse chew through it a bit and or the screen failing in other ways
Mit's weird
Moh that wasn't even properly in focus
Moh well
MI haven't seen it outside of the night light, but maybe plasma just has less situation it will happen then GNOME
