I’m not sure how much you can trust them, but you might want to have a look at Authelia

Personally a BIG fan of hyprland

It can be very fun with friends, so it’s cool to not need to dualboot to be able to play

Glad it worked! And what do you mean stuck? As in that you can’t remove them?

CachyOS is arch based, which allows you to use the holy ArchWiki. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/KDE Is what you’re looking for. Good luck!

I’m so sorry I can’t donate, I really hope you hit your goal. Great idea, and lots of luck!

Interesting

Heroic games launcher has prime gaming support

Yeah they are

Google doesn’t do that either, so we wouldn’t have to either. I could name a few places that use photos from 10+ years ago, which look drastically different from the present

An OS can’t run on a desktop environment bud. SteamOS is the operating system, and kde is a desktop environment that’s installed on top of the OS

Do you run SteamOS? Or a different os?

I’d have a look at the archwiki and install GRUB on eos, and in your bios set eos to be the first boot option, and that will give you the grub boot menu with the option to boot eos, debian or windows.

AFAIK you can just run os-prober in debian, and then you can launch endeavourOS from there.

I like tldr. It doesnt give incredibly in depth explanations, but it does show the basics of using most commands.

It seems that your boot partition is ext4, not sure about that

All good ideas!

I’ve done some reading: They seem to just be shipping preconfigured linux installations(ubuntu), and thats one of their big selling points. I personally don’t agree with this, because the tinkering is one of the big things for me. They don’t seem to advertise anything besides Linux or Linux-related things. It’s a cool idea, but I don’t recommend paying any extra money for them to preinstall Ubuntu(which has been known to have telemetry). All the software seems to be available in all the major repos, so compatibility should be fine in other distros. But from a hardware perspective it looks like a great deal!

I’m afraid I don’t know much about the company, I’ll look into them. It does seem very decent for the price though! With linux I’d expect you could get alot more battery life with some TLP configuration. I’m just curious why you’d want such a powerful cpu if you already have a steam deck?

I think it might be worth your time looking into the Frameworks laptops. To get a good cpu and the same io as you’d get here would cost you ~1200$ iirc, but the refresh rate would be lower. But if you do decide to buy this I wouldn’t recommend getting linux preinstalled.

Edit: Just checked and that would be with a very low end cpu, so nvm. Getting one with a intel chip with comparable performance would set you back 2600$.
