how familiar are you with computers? especially more advanced stuff like handling system files, finding workarounds on your own, using a terminal, etc?

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:38 AM

like, your experience with computers isn't limited to "i install stuff from the internet and run it" is it?

Super VeJobby•7/29/24, 6:39 AM

I mean, I can put one together easily, but I don't do much with software

Super VeJobby•7/29/24, 6:39 AM

Mostly windows

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:39 AM

if you aren't comfortable with this kind of stuff, I can't recommend any form of linux that isn't preinstalled (like steamdeck's steam os for example) at all

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:39 AM

even bazzite isn't quite there yet for average users

Super VeJobby•7/29/24, 6:40 AM

I know, my desktop mode is broken on the Go with the static, haven't fixed it yet

Super VeJobby•7/29/24, 6:40 AM

Never got around to it

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:40 AM

it definitely won't be intuitive if you have no experience with linux or even more advanced functions of windows

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:41 AM

a LOT of linux stuff doesn't even have a fancy gui (yet)

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:41 AM

a lot of things do, but it's impossible to avoid the terminal on linux

asen23•7/29/24, 6:42 AM

it is not that bad, but dont be alergic to terminal and most people should be fine

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:42 AM

but, yknow, i cant stop you from wanting to learn it either - best way to learn is to immerse yourself in it

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:42 AM

unfortunately most average computer users are alergic to the terminal

Super VeJobby•7/29/24, 6:42 AM

I mean, I've used the Linux tutorials with the terminals, installing Decky and other things, but that was me having to type out what it said

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:43 AM

i use linux like i code programs; lots of googling stuff

Super VeJobby•7/29/24, 6:43 AM

If I didn't put a password on my laptop, is there a way I could using the terminal on the User page?

AAshlynn i use linux like i code programs; lots of googling stuff

asen23•7/29/24, 6:43 AM

googling are a skill thats hard to master

Midi•7/29/24, 6:44 AM

I can be fine in mostly gaming mode right

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:44 AM

mmm.. im unsure if it would fix it or not, but technically you can ctrl+alt+f2 to get into TTY and just type the username you set during install, press enter, then press enter when it prompts for a password

MMidi I can be fine in mostly gaming mode right

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:44 AM

yeh

Super VeJobby•7/29/24, 6:44 AM

Yeah, I got the terminal open, like Asen said

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:44 AM

if you stick to gamemode you shouldn't have any worries

SSuper VeJobby Yeah, I got the terminal open, like Asen said

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:44 AM

once in there uhh gimme a sec

MMidi I can be fine in mostly gaming mode right

asen23•7/29/24, 6:44 AM

the install succeeded?

Super VeJobby•7/29/24, 6:44 AM

But asks for the BaZzite login

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:44 AM

yeah that's just

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:44 AM

the username you set

Midi•7/29/24, 6:45 AM

Im now into the desktop part of the installation

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:45 AM

it's not asking for "the" bazzite login, it's asking for "your" login for bazzite, if that makes any sense lol

Super VeJobby•7/29/24, 6:45 AM

So literally the same as the desktop login?

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:45 AM

so like, for me, my login would just be "ashlynn"

SSuper VeJobby So literally the same as the desktop login?

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:45 AM

yup exact same info

AAshlynn so like, for me, my login would just be "ashlynn"

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:45 AM

and then id hit enter, then type my password and hit enter again

asen23•7/29/24, 6:45 AM

oh i forgot login shell exist lol

Super VeJobby•7/29/24, 6:45 AM

Welp

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:45 AM

if it prompts for you to enter a password, since you have no password, just press enter

Super VeJobby•7/29/24, 6:46 AM

I guess I have a password because it says incorrect password

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:46 AM

guess so

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:46 AM

can't really change it if you dont remember it

Super VeJobby•7/29/24, 6:46 AM

Yeah, I tried everything I normally would use

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:46 AM

there are ways but not from inside the os

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:46 AM

you may have typo'd your password

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:47 AM

i keep doing that lately because my keyboard is having issues, sometimes double pressing keys, sometimes not entering a key at all lol

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:47 AM

gotta clean it

Super VeJobby•7/29/24, 6:47 AM

I guess I'll try to set a password on my GO after I fix my desktop issue

Super VeJobby•7/29/24, 6:47 AM

I just realized, I won't even be able to fix that because I don't have a keyboard

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:48 AM

uwu

Super VeJobby•7/29/24, 6:48 AM

Nvm

Super VeJobby•7/29/24, 6:49 AM

I had it, surprisingly

AshlynnOP•7/29/24, 6:49 AM

yay
