Plenty of distros are set and forget and there’s no debugging necessary. Bazzite for example. No coding, no CLI.

Steam Deck, with Steam OS is a great example. Bazzite OS, Fedora, etc.

Linux today is not the same as it was years ago. If you think otherwise, a video on YouTube demoing something like Bazzite would be a great demo. Bazzite and other atomic distros like Aurora are fort Knox.

I have a friend who still games on windows 11 and he has headaches playing things too, like freezes, CTDs, audio issues, having to reboot, etc. A lot of that comes with PC gaming and isn’t just a Linux thing.

You can stick to Windows but do it on the basis of what-is, not what-was. Valve and other companies in the Linux community have invested a lot of money and resources getting things to great shape, and they’re continuing to do so

Yeah they co7ld have a full bar with it being two-tierred

Me too. Fortunately, Linux can play plenty of games. I’ve put hundreds of hours into each of Skyrim, Cyberpunk, Path of Exile and countless other games

It can’t play every single thing, but I’m cool with that.

Is that not what KDE Discover and Gnome Software Center do? Or is this a new one for Gnome?

I’ve had a lot of experience with Linux and I use Nobara currently. My only catch with Bazzite is that I didn’t know the first thing to do. It somehow felt as if most of my experience in Linux was just useless.

Not saying it’s a bad thing, I just decided I’d stick to Nobara for now and try learning Bazzite in the future to give it a fair shake.

I’m also a tweaker. I like to play with ZRam and add other things to the OS, like a custom kernel with BCacheFS-Git to support my gaming darastores. I suspect some of my creature comforts may be harder to get.
