We create a world of kindness or selfishness, judgement or forgiveness every day. These behaviors may get you money or power, but the world you have to live in gets worse. I don’t think you realize how much you lose getting ahead, and how much you cost everyone else.
If you haven’t looked at Garuda yet, it’s the system I switched to after Bazzite. It’s Arch based and user friendly.
Garuda absolutely nails it with their helper app that sets you up with a choice of popular software, handles updates, and gives you easy access to common settings.
It makes it very approachable for people new to Linux.
“the corporation” is running it now. It’s not about people any more, it’s all procedural and goal oriented operations now.
If you get to the point where you decide you want a distro that is not immutable, try Garuda, it’s where I went after Bazzite. It is also gaming focused and has a great helper app to install most of the things most people need and do updates.
I dunno, if you take that advice you either needed to do it because your relationship is so bad, or you needed to learn from the mistake of doing it.
Mature people in good relationships don’t break up just because the Internet told them to.
I use Garuda, you just install the Nvidia version and the updater handles updates automatically whenever you run it.
Easy peasy.
Xfce user, here to represent!
I love it and haven’t had any trouble. Try it out!
I didn’t get a Bambu printer because of the price or design, I got it because of its “just works” reputation, which it does.
Unless Qidi matches that ease, it isn’t equivalent, and that’s important to mention. Maybe it does?
And yeah, I don’t love the recent changes, but that’s only ideologically. Practically speaking it is still amazing.
I dunno, I use Garuda and it’s an Arch distro. It’s been super user friendly and I’ve only had to learn console stuff when I wanted to mess with stuff most casual users wouldn’t be bothered with.
And maybe you would say, “well that’s not really representative of a normal Arch install” but isn’t that the point of different distros? That anyone can build on functionality to do something like make Arch more user friendly?
I can’t believe no one has mentioned the Star Trek the Next Generation episode where Moriarty tries to escape the holodeck and they basically put him on a flash drive running a simulation of the galaxy to solve the problem.
Bazzite was my first and was great and easy. If you don’t like the immutable aspect, check out Garuda.
Bazzite was my first first into Linux. I loved it overall, the thing that eventually made me switch was that the login screen background was locked behind immutability. It’s stupid, but matters to me. I’m on Garuda now and it has been great too.
I tried Bazzite as my first try with Linux for a while and liked it; it was super easy. I didn’t like that the immutability went so far as to lock me out of some parts of the OS that I thought should be open, like lock screen customization.
Now I am on Garuda Arch and it has been really easy too.
I just switched to Linux and couldn’t figure out the install. But I literally just switched to Linux, so I don’t know, it could work great for all I know.
Get SketchUp Make 2017 from the wayback machine. Is super intuitive and you can import stl files directly.
I just installed Bazzite, it’s all baked in.
I unplugged the old drive and installed on a fresh one. I’d heard that dual boot installs could be finicky, so I just avoided it. Sorry it didn’t go smoothly for you.
I installed Bazzite about a week ago. Other then the Nvidia performance not being quite as fast and me not having figured out what I am going to use for design for 3D printing yet, my biggest problem has been that I can’t seem to get the setting for a custom login screen image to stick.
So all in all it’s been pretty painless.
Garuda is also very user friendly and gaming focused if you want something that isn’t immutable.
