Sure but they answer the question correctly, whereas alternatives don’t.

It’s not about what you prefer, it’s about what meets the answer to their question most appropriately.

They are asking for a 100% gui/ui experience with not having to access the terminal.

The right answer to send someone to in that case with the ecosystem we have, is immutables. That what they are for.

Bazzite is the correct answer. Or steam OS. Anything immutable. Mint is not the right answer.

What’s the red Naruto swirl one?

Oh so we’re fighting today.

Throw Pop_OS on and see if that fixes literally everything.

What pixel would you recommend? Is the one you used sufficient?

not as as a distraction machine.

Yeah I’ve got a steam deck for that.

How about connectivity/ usability? Have you had any issues with particular apps or functionality?

How was switching up the phone? I’ve been on linux for 10 years, but I still use android because I’ve found the switch via the phone to be far more intimidating.

Ahh I love kden but I hate fighting with the layouts. I use arch btw.

Do something that federates

I added fire fox as a separate non steam app and it works fine, browser extensions and all.

I just live out of my downloads folder until its time to back up the important stuff to the server and reinstall/ distrohop.

Its more about being on the edge of hardware. The kernel is still being updated to support my chip. What wrapper goes around that kernel is secondary. What fedora allows is for me to stay up to date as relevant kernel patches come through.

Yeah I’m paying attention to some arch builds for my machine. I’ve gone deep enough that I’m literally following the https://lkml.org/ to see how support for my machine and the chipset is going. Its why I’m prob going back to fedora after this, so I can stay on the latest kernel.

[edit: this seems to work on voyager, but not in browser. I’m kind of blown away it was that easy.]

Thats you isn’t it.

Hmm. Well I was on a tear of trying new operating systems trying to get a bit of bleeding edge kit working. I was about to be traveling and I needed it to just work. Bazzite had a release specific to my model… and it all seemed hunky dory, until it wasn’t and I couldn’t get in and wrench. I think in that week I probably went through 20+ different ISO’s and install scripts trying to get to an install that would let me use the GPU acceleration I paid for. Tried fedora, bazzite (and bazzite did work, but I had issues with the wifi/ blue tooth driver, but I had to do containers/ sandboxes to actually use RoCM), ubuntu, others.

I ended up on Ubuntu for this machine because at least I can wrench on things, and I wasn’t prepared to take the Arch jump off the diving board (at least not on a new machine before traveling). And its been “fine”.

But I genuinely do no like the Ubuntu experience. Once I can slick this machine (when I’m done with my current project), I’m going to go to Fedora because that should allow me to stay with the most up to date kernel.
