i have been dipping my toe into linux since the 90's, lol. i am getting closer to sticking with it. just need the nvidia wayland stuff to really make a go of it this time. there always seems to be something, but the flashing screens in wayland drive me nuts right now.

Marko aka KDE Wayland 69 Enjoyer•6/23/24, 10:16 PM

I have been trying the testing branch or whatever

Marko aka KDE Wayland 69 Enjoyer•6/23/24, 10:16 PM

it has worked well. Still bugs but the flickering has stopped

Marko aka KDE Wayland 69 Enjoyer•6/23/24, 10:17 PM

I can basically use it at this point wiht an unstable branch of bazzite and with the tree system I can go back

Marko aka KDE Wayland 69 Enjoyer•6/23/24, 10:17 PM

what I am saying is

Marko aka KDE Wayland 69 Enjoyer•6/23/24, 10:17 PM

it is coming

Marko aka KDE Wayland 69 Enjoyer•6/23/24, 10:18 PM

main issue I experienced is the logging in stuff and some black screen stuff. I have been using it all day and mostly fine. Once they sort all these kinks it be good cos everythign else I used been good

Marko aka KDE Wayland 69 Enjoyer•6/23/24, 10:18 PM

man u been trying to dip into linux before I was born

Marko aka KDE Wayland 69 Enjoyer•6/23/24, 10:18 PM

lol

GrinmaulOP•6/23/24, 10:18 PM

ya, i know:(

Marko aka KDE Wayland 69 Enjoyer•6/23/24, 10:18 PM

tbh I think the push has neve rbeen greater now

Marko aka KDE Wayland 69 Enjoyer•6/23/24, 10:18 PM

I dnt think I could have used it up till now as much

Marko aka KDE Wayland 69 Enjoyer•6/23/24, 10:19 PM

it would have been like a gimmick almost to me due to how useful it may have seemed whatever

Marko aka KDE Wayland 69 Enjoyer•6/23/24, 10:19 PM

I know that not to be the case

Marko aka KDE Wayland 69 Enjoyer•6/23/24, 10:19 PM

and many IT server rooms use it

Marko aka KDE Wayland 69 Enjoyer•6/23/24, 10:19 PM

but personal use it could be nuts

GrinmaulOP•6/23/24, 10:19 PM

i went a lot of years without looking at it at all, then get a whim and try about 5 different distros, find i am still booting back to windows for games, then tryagain in a year or 2

Marko aka KDE Wayland 69 Enjoyer•6/23/24, 10:19 PM

even now the troubleshooting is hard cos unlike windows there is barely any information from other users

Marko aka KDE Wayland 69 Enjoyer•6/23/24, 10:19 PM

for ur specific thing

Marko aka KDE Wayland 69 Enjoyer•6/23/24, 10:20 PM

yes the gaming is where the imrpovement has been

GrinmaulOP•6/23/24, 10:20 PM

but these days i have gotten most of the games i play working, so i feel good about another bazzite attempt right now

Marko aka KDE Wayland 69 Enjoyer•6/23/24, 10:20 PM

proton has been a game changer

GrinmaulOP•6/23/24, 10:23 PM

need to find out if modorganiser 2 works well, i still enjoy a modded game of skyrim and fallout 4 once and awhile

Marko aka KDE Wayland 69 Enjoyer•6/23/24, 10:25 PM

yes I have avoided mods tbh

Marko aka KDE Wayland 69 Enjoyer•6/23/24, 10:25 PM

good luck though

Marko aka KDE Wayland 69 Enjoyer•6/23/24, 10:26 PM

for skyrim I have tried massive mod packs in the past that people make to try and make a new experience

Marko aka KDE Wayland 69 Enjoyer•6/23/24, 10:26 PM

found that the focus was not the skyrim I enjoy when I put them all together

Marko aka KDE Wayland 69 Enjoyer•6/23/24, 10:26 PM

like I would have to pick my own mods out

Marko aka KDE Wayland 69 Enjoyer•6/23/24, 10:26 PM

and often u dunno how good till u try

Marko aka KDE Wayland 69 Enjoyer•6/23/24, 10:26 PM

I am a fan whilst not a fan

Marko aka KDE Wayland 69 Enjoyer•6/23/24, 10:26 PM

Marko aka KDE Wayland 69 Enjoyer•6/23/24, 10:27 PM

I think in the mod I basically had a sexy women following me at all times as well with all this crazy added stuff XD

Marko aka KDE Wayland 69 Enjoyer•6/23/24, 10:27 PM

it just was a different vibe

Zeglius•6/23/24, 10:32 PM

I think it does given it uses its own virtual file system specific for windows to set mods. Vortex would work better as it has an option to simply copy the mods into the game folders.

Were you trying out Slackware back in the day?

Kyle Gospo•6/23/24, 10:32 PM

Trust me when I say, if you throw mod organizer 2 in the garbage and mod those games by dragging and dropping files you'll have an easy life

Zeglius•6/23/24, 10:32 PM

But if you manage to make mO2 work let me know

Kyle Gospo•6/23/24, 10:32 PM

No Bethesda game has ever needed a mod manager

Zeglius•6/23/24, 10:33 PM

Technically you can mount an overlayFS and dump the mods in the upper directory xD

Zeglius•6/23/24, 10:33 PM

Literally what MO2 does

legally defined as sound•6/23/24, 10:34 PM

windows resized, MC and steam installed, and the sc works instantly

legally defined as sound•6/23/24, 10:34 PM

i will try to enjoy my vacation to windows as much as i can

CCrono Were you trying out Slackware back in the day?

GrinmaulOP•6/23/24, 10:41 PM

Slack. Red hat . Sometimes bsd. Some weird ones that don't exist anymore. Basically whatever was getting released and had some hype around it at the time. Os/2 was the best windows alternative and I miss it a lot lol.

GrinmaulOP•6/23/24, 10:44 PM

Installing bazzite right now. So on my phone. Wiping a mostly working install of opensuse for it
