Reading through that article I somehow ended up on the bazzite page and then went down a rabithole learning about the system76 scheduler. Just when I thought I'd settled down now I want to switch to bazzite to try out the system76 scheduler.

But I'm not sure what's better for overall performance. Bazzites modifications or glorious eggrolls modifications.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 3 weeks ago

Performance wise, I doubt there's notable difference.

I've tried both, and honestly Bazzite OS is on a league of it's own.

Nobara has updates with breaking changes that require manual steps to avoid bricking your installation.

Bazzite on the other hand immutability makes it a freaking indestructible distro, and for a gaming machine, that is a good thing.

Bazzite's CI/CD automated builds helps them release upstream improvements way faster, for example... they are already on Fedora 40.

It also comes ready to go out of the box. The experience is amazing. The only drawback is having to reboot to apply changes to the system. But the many benefits outweight this inconvenience.

Agreed. I was enthusiastic about Nobara all the way up until I had to do a version upgrade. If I had to start from scratch now, I'd go with Bazzite.

The Bazzite installation is so streamlined, it would take you an hour to install and set it up to the point where you are now. Unless you did something extremely out of the ordinary.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

The installation is the easy part; first I have to back up all my configs. It's the media machine in the living room, though, so it's not super urgent.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

When I installed Kinoite to start using Linux as my primary daily driver, the first thing I did was setting up Ansible, creating a new playbook and all Linux configurations I made from that point on, are only ever done through that playbook, which is backed up in my Forgejo instance. One command and everything is being set up exactly the way I want. It feels extremely liberating.

Goddammit this all sounds so good. My final and most important question that decides if I switch. What does the neofetch icon look like?

Edit: I just looked myself and its a controller which looks cool but i don't really like controllers. 🤔 hard choice but I think I'll try it out.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

I haven't bothered with it, but Neofetch allows you to easily change the neofetch logo. neofetch --ascii_distro

If you like the idea of Bazzite, but aren't a gamer, you could go with Bluefin or Aurora depending on your preference.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

I use Bazzite for a mainly work, gaming sporadically machine and honestly, I don't know what changes bluefin might have that I'm missing. Leaner maybe? Even for a gaming centric distro, the looks are very good.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

If bazzite works for you, then good enough! Bazzite just comes with a lot more support for periphials that some might not need/want (e.g. vr headsets). So yeah, leaner. Or for that one poster, a neofetch icon that's not a gamepad?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

Yes thats difficult for sure. I would trust bazzite more, as the distribution model is way more stable.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yes I think their scheduler is nice? I mean you can just layer and enable it on any variant. Checkout ublues files.

Link gives me a 404

Strange, maybe he is overhauling the post

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

A friend switched to Linux yesterday on a new build and grabbed the kde spin of fedora at my recommendation. Fedora 40 dropped x11 on kde so there's been a good bit more hassle getting things working than there should have been. Hopefully developers move fast on support.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

What do you mean? Just use Wayland?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Discord screen share isn't working, I think screen recording wasn't working, she had some issues getting steam to not crash. We both use input leap at work so waiting until 6.1 for that support to hit. Just a bit annoying to get rug pulled. We both use fedora 38 on our work machines so there was an expectation that things would work the same, I think it's overall a good change in the long run, but in the moment it's very disruptive.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

try vencord/vesktop it allows you to stream over discord on Wayland, plus a bunch of other stuff.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, I directed her to vesktop but lately the video streams on vesktop have been really choppy. I use it on arch to mixed results.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I think the end of the story is: fuck Discord.

Damn Signal Desktop has perfect screensharing on Wayland.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

You probably know this already, but X11 hasn't been dropped completely. You can still install what you need from the distros, and then the X11 option will be present and correct in SDDM.

sudo dnf install kwin-x11 plasma-workspace-x11

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Actually, I didn't know that and figured it out yesterday. Thanks for the tip!

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Well, I'm such an old ass for preferring X11 still, but fuck NVIDIA anyway.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

NVIDIA and Wayland are supposedly fixed in recent releases with explicit sync

[-] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Not fully. The distro supports it and Gnome/KDE have done their patches, but we're still waiting for updated Nvidia drivers in May. Until then, I personally still tons of flickering.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

I love to see the progress Fedora Atomic Desktops is making. I switched to Fedora Kinoite from Windows and it has been the most stable Linux experience I have ever had. Updating to Fedora 40 was as easy as checking out another git branch. When I installed Linux I wasn't expecting to stay with it for very long because I had some bad experiences with it in the past. As of now, I haven't had the need to boot into Windows since switching to Fedora five months ago.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

Actually recently I learned if you rebase to latest instead of 40 (at least if you are using OSTree native container images like ublue) you dont need to upgrade anymore, that is decided upstream.

Agree on the stability completely, distrohopped a ton before and everything just broke.

I am working on a CentOS Desktop image set currently, first time doing that but will be pretty cool. Atomic CentOS Stream, to have a superstable system.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
