i recently got an extra ssd so i slapped it on my desktop with debian+cinnamon. if not for game incompatibility and needing to compile dx9 shader binaries i also wouldn’t touch windows. image
i always consider swapping to Linux then i remember Destiny doesn’t run on Linux and i have an addiction
Linux is just an operating system, shove it on an old laptop and give it a try.
That’s why I dual boot. My windows is only for games with anti-cheats which don’t run on Linux. My Linux is for everything else.
what distro is that? I wanna fuck around with Linux a bit more
endeavoros. a lot of people use the neofetch command when showcasing their setup. it’s in the console
That’s EndeavourOS, an arched based distro that makes installing and using arch really easy. I’m currently using it on my main machine, don’t think I’ve had more than a couple problems with it.
EndeavourOS. It’s functionally no different than arch with the only change being it has a quicker install process.
would you recommend to a complete novice or not? I’ve heard arch can be tough
No, you can get this same look with distros like kde neon or fedora kde spin which will be a lot less work then running arch.
Do people actually daily-drive Neon? I thought it was just used for testing purposes!
Yes. I have found that while other distros may be slightly more “stable” Arch can’t be beat in terms of compatibility and package variety. And to the arch wiki has pretty much every piece of information you could ever need
lol I’m getting conflicting answers. I’ve got a 100gb partition set aside for Linux, I’ll just install and see if I like it
God… Linux is so sexy.
I wish gaming worked well on it :(
It actually does now! and has for years! anything that runs in the steam deck will run on your normal linux computer, meaning that most games work at this point, with many more to follow
Do you have any good news for a person working in graphic design industry? Any sensible alternatives to Adobe CC/Affinity suite?
You can run some Photoshop versions on Linux, but I would just seek alternatives. I’ve been using Krita for ages. It’s not Photoshop, but it has non-destructive editing unlike GIMP.
Oh yeah totally. GIMP + KRITA can do nearly anything you need from Photoshop, and kdenlive/davinci resolve can replace any video software you need
I actually don’t use steam much anymore, most games I play have their own shitty launcher that isn’t supported on Linux, like Honkai Star Rail.
