Bazzite is the new Ubuntu without snaps etc, give it a try

nobara

Nix and Bazzite

i would let this one cook for a bit longer. the upgrade went fine but the OS has been peculiar (GPU and performance issues, resume from stand by), no actual crashes though. i’m on gnome

oh it did? i missed that scrolling through the results somehow, thanks!

no matrix instances!!??

is Brave’s ad blocker as good as UO?

the deployed architecture of linux is still evolving right now and there are lots of distros experimenting with different approaches

• how the basic core OS is structured - immutability, A/B partitions, versioned rollback
• how third party applications are executed - containerization, compatibilty, virtualization, bare metal
• how software is updated and stored - package management (apt, pacman, nix, flatpak)

i’m sure i’ve missed other features of new linux distros. this is all really important stuff but has nothing to do with the apps you actually use day to day

yes, i have a few Rust framework based sites for mostly personal use

it’s a really good game, and is heavily supported by Valve to keep it good

cheating seems like an issue but i imagine that’s always been the case

started playing with ubuntu around version 6, been using it for various things ever since

honestly never got in the way of me doing what i wanted

ah ok that makes sense, i didn’t realise they build them in house

because of better security, or more obscurity?

did F-Droid not have these apps?

i’m using Zed and it’s really good at this early stage on Linux, you can avoid the AI stuff easily. only bad things i guess is that the extended ecosystem has obviously not had time to grow in the same way as vscode, just for time reasons

good point

the novelty touchpad/numpad combo device on my asus thing also doesn’t work but i’m fine with that

so i guess if you have specific device requirements from the laptop, make sure they do work before buying

in my experience Linux works on any laptop i put it on

buy what you want and give it a go!

disappointingly i agree with Pete. with vast new open worlds like no mans sky i think the standard of generative AI could weave good plots, locations, characters and mcguffins

whole game mechanics and voice acting and animation however, i doubt
