Formerly on .world.
On my laptops: Debian -> Fedora. Mostly because I couldn’t reliably use my external display on Debian, and because I needed wanted shiny new things. Also new hardware.
On my gaming rig: Manjaro -> Nobara -> Bazzite. I left Manjaro because the system was slowly getting worse with each update, and I wanted to game, not maintain my system. I ditched Nobara after a botched version upgrade. Bazzite is fine for now.
Seconded, I moved my gaming rig is on Bazzite and has been trouble free and maintenance free ever since.
I installed Bluefin on the laptop I gave my father, and it’s been happily running trouble-free every single day since August without a single intervention. And my father is the kind of man who can conjure up unknown bugs, weird failures and random crashes by simple hand contact.
Thanks!

It won’t answer all of your answers, but it should at least give you a good primer on what distros are and what are the main key takeaways.
Seconded. I recently moved my gaming rig from Nobara to Bazzite because this machine is only occasionally booted, and I don’t want to spend the little time I have available for gaming doing maintenance instead. Except from a mounting error for my secondary drive that I made (bc after 20+ years on Linux I still can’t be arsed enough to learn how to fstab), I was in Cyberpunk 2077 in less than 5 minutes.
Pros:
Cons:
Pro tip: don’t keep your Steam games on a Windows partition. They won’t launch.
I replaced the idiotically loud motherboard fan with a 24V 40/10 Noctua. It needs slightly longer screws than the stock ones but otherwise it’s a drop in replacement. Noise levels are much more acceptable now.
Haha thanks !
I would like to say I’m used to fstab too but honestly I barely have to use it once every five years 😅
The issue was indeed from the fstab. But it was because exec was specified before users.
The games crash long before launching proton. I suspect something is fishy in the runtime or even before that.
Worst case scenario, I have to nuke this drive and start over. I’ll keep digging tho.
Good call. I’m seeing some stuff I don’t like, I’ll investigate tomorrow.
99% of the time, if a game “should run fine” and nothing happens, it’s because it’s installed on a Windows partition (NTFS or exFat).
Try moving it to a Linux partition.
If it still doesn’t work, you can start advanced troubleshooting.
I had to swap the stock fan for a Noctua since it was unbearably loud, adjust the volumetric flow and spend some time adjusting the Z-offset. I should also tension the belts a bit but it looks super non-trivial.
The SV08 has been out since at least summer. I’ve had mine since September and I’m super satisfied with it. It is not a beginners machine however, there are a couple of mandatory tweaks and upgrades to make it usable. Nothing unsurmountable but having modded the shit out of my Ender 3 helped a lot.
I’ve successfully used Anyconnect for years in a dedicated Windows VM. However I only used it to connect to a Remote Desktop so performance was a non-issue.
Here is a comparison between an old benchy done with my Ender-3 and three with the SV-08
Thanks for the lead! That might be it, I saw a big blob of goop leaking from it the first time I heated it. I’ll rebuild the hotend when I have time. There an extra nozzle in the kit.
Edit:
Here is a comparison between an old benchy done with my Ender-3 and three with the SV-08. The surface finish with the Ender 3 is much more consistent and the PETG is a lot shinier. Maybe speed is a factor too. Shoud I try and slow the SV08 down a notch?
