AmogOS too

I haven’t hurd much about that

I think it’s just that the defaults for NetworkManager don’t play nice with systemd, wpa_supplicant would take several minutes to connect to my wifi, and dhcpd just dropped my connection after I rebooted the router (for unrelated purposes) and would reconnect for about a minute before it dropped it again.

I’ve still been having an issue where if I reboot the computer, NetworkManager will hang up the boot process indefinitely, but this doesn’t happen if I shut it down and then turn it back on with the power button. Still haven’t figured that one out, all of my research said that this issue was supposed to have been fixed with the last update, but not for me I guess!

NetworkManager is still shite on KDE, I’ve had to change the backend to iwd and download a new DHCP client just this week.

I wish there was a synonym for “evangelism” that began with a “u”.

protondb.com will tell you how well an individual game will play, as well as any tinkering steps you might have to use (in the comments)

Q4OS has an installer like that, but you have to change the boot order after installation, I don’t think it uses grub.

Bazzite, it’s an immutable Fedora-based distro, so in the unlikely event that it breaks, you can just revert back to whatever you had before.

Nobara is similar, Fedora-based but not immutable, which means you can tinker with it, but possibly also break it. Made by Glorious Eggroll, the guy behind the GE versions of proton and wine.

Mint is a more general-purpose distro, based on Ubuntu (which itself is based on Debian), but it’s very user-friendly and does just fine with games.

Manjaro is fine, it’s the one I put on my mom’s computer because she needed a Windows program that I found in the AUR. It was pretty decent for the four games that she plays lol (The Sims 4, AoE2, Neverwinter Nights, and Prince of Qin). It’s Arch-based, but not bleeding-edge like Arch, so it’s ostensibly more stable.

As far as the Index goes, idk about that, as I don’t own one. However, I just DDG’d “valve index on linux”, and quite a few guides came up, so it shouldn’t be too hard to get it going. Plus Valve is a pretty Linux-friendly company,

I like the Arch wiki’s version: Reboot Even If System Utterly Broken.

Lmao, that thumbnail

Ventoy is a tool specifically for booting from USB drives.

Like RDP? Or are we talking like, some sort of ssh GUI, where you just wanna access the files on the Windows machine? Most file explorers on Linux do that natively. Or are you talking about compatibility with .exe files? If so, there’s Wine and Proton, but those could need some configuration.

Unfortunately, if you’re managing one computer from another computer, you’re going to be aware of it regardless of which OS you decide to use.

reset failed, giving up

Mood.

What’s the go-to solution now?

I’m running Bazzite on my desktop lol, but there’s no reason why you couldn’t print stuff from your Steam Deck!

I have an Epson ET-3830, took a bit of digging to find the right drivers and get them working on Bazzite, but since then it’s been great!

Bazzite already exists

Manually? Like, with a knife?
