Arch keeps calling my name but god damn is it a headache lol Mint is honestly just super easy to use and that’s why people recommend it so often as a great starting distro. I’ve tried like 10+ distros in the last week so I just wanted to settle in on one

only for desktop tho I still love bazzite for steamOS like I said

HHoodieWoody Mint is rock solid in my opinion, very very easy to use but still has everything...

dkms driver is the reason

We ship all of the Legion patches in the kernel

Kyle Gospo•8/13/24, 5:30 PM

Just need to install the controller from the repos

Kyle Gospo•8/13/24, 5:30 PM

Or use a different one

Kid•8/13/24, 5:30 PM

LOL :D
Yeah, np many ppl enjoy mint. As you said it's rock solid!

Buuuut no joke, I never had to rollback on bazzite because of broken updates. I just used the feature, when I layered something and wanted to reverse it ^^

But yeah, mint + bazzite seems like a solid combo!

antheas•8/13/24, 5:32 PM

for me, mint is showing its age

Kamquat•8/13/24, 5:32 PM

mint was showing it's age 5 years ago

HoodieWoodyOP•8/13/24, 5:33 PM

Killer combo for sure. There’s no community like the bazzite community tho no joke. I’ve joined a bunch of distro discords and they don’t even compare. Everyone here is so active, helpful, and chill

Kid•8/13/24, 5:33 PM

I think I'm just not a fan of cinnamon, but many ppl love it

antheas•8/13/24, 5:33 PM

ubuntu is good and what most people use, regardless of politics

tryhardsoccermomswag•8/13/24, 5:33 PM

idc what anyone uses but if its linux that's great because it keeps the marketshare slightly higher

antheas•8/13/24, 5:33 PM

every linux user i know uses ubuntu

Kamquat•8/13/24, 5:34 PM

Can anyone explain why changing my UMA from 'auto' to '4GB' on my Legion Go would resolve freezes when gaming in Desktop mode? (The games would stutter, slow, and then freeze, which to me seems like it was an OOM issue)

antheas•8/13/24, 5:34 PM

but with bazzite we're targeting the whales of the linux population

Kamquat•8/13/24, 5:34 PM

I thought auto was supposed to be the way to go

antheas•8/13/24, 5:34 PM

weird bugs

Aantheas for me, mint is showing its age

HoodieWoodyOP•8/13/24, 5:34 PM

It’s definitely not flashy or cutting edge but I do think there’s something to be said for having that next level stability and user experience

antheas•8/13/24, 5:34 PM

with 512mb

antheas•8/13/24, 5:34 PM

theres not such thing as auto

Brunvik•8/13/24, 5:34 PM

Hello guys! lets say I would install Bazzite on a Steam Deck, use a ext4 SD to move my games to the Steam Deck and then would want to enable SD-Card btrfs, is that possible?

antheas•8/13/24, 5:34 PM

its 512mb

Aantheas theres not such thing as auto

Kamquat•8/13/24, 5:34 PM

I mean, the BIOS says 'auto'.

antheas•8/13/24, 5:35 PM

did you install mint based on ubuntu 24?

Kamquat•8/13/24, 5:35 PM

so I called it auto

tryhardsoccermomswag•8/13/24, 5:35 PM

move the data from the sd card before formatting to btrfs

KKamquat I mean, the BIOS says 'auto'.

antheas•8/13/24, 5:35 PM

well its lying. Its 512mb and for all intents and purposes we figured out its the same if sg_display is off

ott.tar.gz•8/13/24, 5:35 PM

Is there a way to completely reset bazzite to a fresh install state? Throwing out all configs and files? I have stuff backed up.

antheas•8/13/24, 5:35 PM

perhaps its not the case

Aantheas did you install mint based on ubuntu 24?

HoodieWoodyOP•8/13/24, 5:35 PM

Yeah Mint 22 is based on 24.04 LTS

antheas•8/13/24, 5:35 PM

perhaps thats why it feels new

Kamquat•8/13/24, 5:36 PM

What's odd is, in theory I should have 12gb free but all btop sees is 11.3gb

antheas•8/13/24, 5:36 PM

if you installed it 2 months ago it'd be showing more age

antheas•8/13/24, 5:36 PM

since it'd be ubuntu 22

tryhardsoccermomswag•8/13/24, 5:36 PM

The entire universal blue project would love a powerwash feature but doesn't have one now without reinstalling

antheas•8/13/24, 5:36 PM

just remember thats all you get for the next 2 years, no new features

tryhardsoccermomswag•8/13/24, 5:36 PM

theres a ujust command to use ext4 @Brunvik

Ttryhardsoccermomswag theres a ujust command to use ext4 @Brunvik

Brunvik•8/13/24, 5:37 PM

To revert back too? or is this a one way street?

tryhardsoccermomswag•8/13/24, 5:38 PM

you lose sd card data formatting but if it's already ext4 then that ujust command supports it

tryhardsoccermomswag•8/13/24, 5:39 PM

im not sure what you mean tbh

Brunvik•8/13/24, 5:40 PM

I would use the ext4 card to move my games from stock SteamOS to a freshly installed Bazzite and woul then try to use btrfs for the SD Card after everything is moved

tryhardsoccermomswag•8/13/24, 5:40 PM

are you moving the games to the internal drive?

Brunvik•8/13/24, 5:41 PM

Yes

tryhardsoccermomswag•8/13/24, 5:41 PM

Then youre good

tryhardsoccermomswag•8/13/24, 5:41 PM

Move them with ext4 then after you've moved them, format it in gaming mode so it's btrfs

Brunvik•8/13/24, 5:43 PM

So Desktop mode -> Move everything
then enter Gamemode -> Format SD Card

And then I'm dandy?
