Comment on Why would I buy this?
MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 13 hours agoLike I said, I play quite a bit of multiplayer games that work fine. Just not the shitty live service with awful kernel level anti cheat ones which you would never have caught me playing even back on windows.
The only notable games I know that don’t work are valorant and league because of their anti cheat, but i would never want to play them anyway. I’ve played marvel rivals on bazzite though, perfect experience, ended up running better on the same hardware than it did on windows.
I also feel like I have to fight against windows now more then ever. I currently still have to use it for work and it can be a nightmare at times. On Linux if something is wrong I can almost always find a way to fix it. Most of the time you’re shit out of luck on windows 11.

I gotta be honest, there was, and always seems to be so much more to fight against whenever I use linux pretty much purely because there is just less third party support for it.
The number of things that I just give up on because I know itll be another multi hour fight for something basic are too high.
Like KDE Plasma is goated, but I just, from personal experience, just don’t buy the idea that you don’t fight more on linux. You have more agency, but you also have to use it more.
I have 2 systems, so Ill probably continue to play with it, and I certainly will obviously keep using it for my NAS, self hosting projects, but in terms of a desktop os, oof; I don’t have the energy/fight/will and resolve.

A lot of my recent experiences have been with arch and because it’s always up to date and AUR being as expensive as it is, I always seen to find an easy way to install something, even third party stuff. I’ve never hit any of the issues people have with saying an update can break your system yet, but then again I only install what I need and always uninstall stuff that I either installed accidentally or no longer need.
I tried fedora with nobara for a bit because I liked bazzite, but it wasn’t for me. I got too used to what’s available to me via arch or at least being used to know where to look for that stuff on arch vs fedora
