Yeah those are the steps I followed.

I have used bazzite before and it worked well, I just recently reinstalled fedora after using Windows for a month or so (Thought I would need it for class, but my teacher is okay with us doing our work on Linux so yay)

I will probably just rebase than

By making that comment you did engage with it… Not commenting at all would have been disengaging…

I wouldn’t advertise on the premise that Windows is a horrible, privacy invasive OS. Even though it’s true that would easily be grounds for Windows to claim defamation and pummel the entire thing into the ground with legal fees

That makes a lot of sense when you put it that way. For some reason I never factored that individuals were extending apps for their own use cases lmao

I feel like Linux alternatives often falter by trying to offer as extensive of a feature set as the proprietary options. GIMP would be better if it simplified it’s menu’s and focused on offering a strong central feature set, then expand on that core over time to offer a powerful workflow of it’s own.

I noticed this especially with FreeCAD, which is trying to do like 12 things for some reason? Just offer intuitive parametric cad and focus on it. We don’t need OpenSCAD inside FreeCAD because OpenSCAD is already it’s own thing for example.

Yeah that is wild. Back on windows I had a three monitor setup at one point and honestly rarely utilized the whole of it.

Ever since moving to Linux and learning about virtual desktops I have never felt the need for more than one monitor. So I could hardly imagine the need for seven beyond novelty lol.

Any modern distro.

There are GUI methods for adding repositories to every major software center to my knowledge, and it isn’t very hard.

Kate, and other modern file editors are more than equipped to handle some config files, that’s probably the simplest thing ever.

There are multiple GUI front ends for samba.

Don’t comment on the usability of Linux GUI if you haven’t even tried in the last 20 years like seriously

Yeah that’s why I put it in quotes, it just kept popping up when I searched for distros more inclined towards gaming lol.

Yeah I didn’t know about bazzite before going about this whole thing, but I am not going to try gaming on my system until nvk becomes more capable. Even then only light work.

I’m not necessarily a begginer as I have been using Linux for a few years now, but arch is definitely out of my wheelhouse

I didn’t quite figure out the issue. It seemed to be a problem with directx, and I wasn’t certain how to proceed. I chose to uninstall the nvidia drivers and proceed, for the time, with integrated graphics on my Intel chip until NVK ships with fedora 40

Good, use them for something worthwhile.

It is dystopian really the nature of shuffling hundreds or thousands of people to a building, into a cubicle, in front of a computer for 8 hours a day.

This is awesome! I don’t use the dedicated GPU on my laptop for anything outside light gaming, so I will definitely be switching to this as soon as it is available for Fedora

You know what? I agree with that.

I was taking my personal opinion and applying that at large, and forgot it was early access. A bit short sighted of me.

I hope the game has a bright future, even if it may not appeal to me.

Yeah, the game’s popularity comes directly from it’s gimmicky nature and not from any actual good gameplay loop. Not a single idea, mechanic, or even item is original.

I played for two days with friends and got over it. And I imagine for many, once the appeal of the gimmick wears thin, it’s all and over with

This looks really cool! Didn’t know anything like it existed

Thank you so much! This fixed it!

The angle makes it look really thin, but the object is actually a centimeter or so thick.

I am getting a warning saying there is an object with no extrusion on first layer though

Fascinating,

Again I haven’t actually tried it. I went to install fedora kinoite(?) On an extra laptop I have to try it out but apparently the memory isn’t seated correctly, so I will have to fix that real quick.

I also watched The Linux Experiment’s video on it and cleared up some confusion

You could at least act ignorant rather than trying to logic your hatefulness

I have been trying to understand this for a minute and I can’t seem to understand why you would use it on a personal workstation.

Like it makes sense for servers, and for deploying accross multiple systems in a corporate or public setting, but beyond that it seems like it is just adding unnecessary steps if you try to use it on your personal rig.

Maybe I’ll need to just give in and try it for a week to a month to see the appeal

This is great advice!

More people should turn to linux, absolutely, but it shouldn’t be just because it is linux. I think people should look at what they want from their device in particular, look at what is offerred by multiple systems and os’, and decide from there that they want to use linux because it does x, y, z best.

That is what made me decide to use linux as more than just a project or afternoon curiosity!
