my journey has been mint -> endeavour -> nobara -> bazzite -> nobara -> bazzite. I think I'm here to stay at bazzite now I know how to use containers

Aa same i started using linux with arch and then nixos and then opensuse and then ...

Three months into linux and using NixOS is like heroin being your gateway drug

no points for guessing which of those lasted like a single afternoon

Games JoyceOP•8/12/24, 9:23 PM

considering I started using linux in June

NOBARA MORE LIKE,,,, NO!!! BROTHER

GGames Joyce Hello! They all have their tradeoffs. TN: lowest price and a higher refresh rate...

oh just to add to this, VA monitors have really good contrast, which is why I got mine - I was doing work at the time that needed colour accuracy and contrast. I'd say go with IPS if you don't need high contrast for work

Nothing but love to glorious eggroll for his work in proton, but nobara isn't something I'll recommend tbf

Valerie•8/12/24, 9:26 PM

Wii U came today, just waiting on the PSU and then I get to try using my Steam Deck as a gamepad

PPez NOBARA MORE LIKE,,,, NO!!! BROTHER

Games JoyceOP•8/12/24, 9:26 PM

it was endeavour that only lasted the afternoon actually! I've really enjoyed nobara, its just things like sunshine work out of the box with bazzite, and nobara's updates have been a bit messy as of late, which pushed me back here

JJack Smith Nothing but love to glorious eggroll for his work in proton, but nobara isn't so...

Pez•8/12/24, 9:26 PM

i wouldn't recommend it either for some reasons but i just poke fun at it as a joke because this is the #

bazzite channel

Valerie•8/12/24, 9:26 PM

Glorious Eggroll is great, and Nobara's not bad but it is VERY opinionated.

And the thing with opinions is not everybody has sane ones

Pez•8/12/24, 9:27 PM

yuuuup

Games JoyceOP•8/12/24, 9:27 PM

and i like the fact that I can rebase to fedora if the bazzite team ever decide to take all their funding and abscond to a small island somewhere

Valerie•8/12/24, 9:27 PM

Discover? Who needs it

PPez whoever let you start with those three is a monster

a•8/12/24, 9:27 PM

opensuse tumbleweed wasnt too bad i also just chose arch because of those youtubers who flex with using arch

Games JoyceOP•8/12/24, 9:27 PM

yeah the thing about removing discover and replacing it with the nobara package manager was a little rough for me

Pez•8/12/24, 9:27 PM

no backage manager

Pez•8/12/24, 9:27 PM

:^)

Games JoyceOP•8/12/24, 9:28 PM

in GE's defence, he's always said that the target audience for Nobara is basically just his dad, and if anyone else wants to use it that's fine

Games JoyceOP•8/12/24, 9:28 PM

which honestly is real linux energy right there

Pez•8/12/24, 9:28 PM

LOL

Pez•8/12/24, 9:28 PM

that's a good reason to not use it i guess

Pez•8/12/24, 9:28 PM

i'm not GE's dad

PPez i'm not GE's dad

Games JoyceOP•8/12/24, 9:28 PM

not with that attitude

Pez•8/12/24, 9:28 PM

Games JoyceOP•8/12/24, 9:29 PM

from what i've seen of ublue and all its spins, its slightly less of a hobby distro approach and more of a serious crack at the distro whip

Pez•8/12/24, 9:30 PM

that means the ruse has worked

Valerie•8/12/24, 9:30 PM

I propose that Bazzite 4.0 be the update where Bazzite goes truly immutable, this would mean that:
- Remove distrobox
- Lock rpm-ostree behind a root account with no password. Intention being it is not accessible.
- Change user permissions to only be allowed to launch pre-installed apps
- Remove GNOME images, unrelated but I think it's a good idea
- Remove FUSE

Valerie•8/12/24, 9:31 PM

Perhaps we could remove desktop mode all together for a proper console experience?
