I tried for awhile to make osmc work on an raspi4 for media playing and it was always just… not quite there.
I ended up going with a Ebay mini pc with Plex on it and stream to my TV with a Roku stick. Just worked so much better without much effort on my part.
Huh I always thought ventoy was just another iso to usb writer. I’ve been totally sleeping on the fact it can hold a bunch of isos and installs them directly. That’s so handy
It’s not a gaming specific OS, but ive been running Pop!_OS on my main PC for just about 3 years now with mostly successes. Steam runs great with proton and i use bottles for the rest of it (gog, battle.net, uplay, etc)
Beyond all reason (BAR) you can get it for free on the pop shop with popos and likely most other distro app store.
Excellent successor to the OG RTS total annihilation from the late 90s.
Bottles was the only thing that’s ever worked for me with nonsteam games. Love it!
I still use hexchat… suppose i shouldn’t since it’s not being updated anymore. But, I’ve tried a bunch and it’s the only one i like.
