Me, a native French speaker reading this thread :

Gonna comment and say thanks for this.

My mom's switch is banned and has CFW on sysNAND. When I updated to 16.1.0, I updated atmosphère, the sigpatches, etc. and for 2 days I couldn't get sigptaches to actually work, even after completely formatting the SD card and starting over. The same guides worked perfectly fine on my Switch, they're both Erista on 16.1.0, with the same sigpatches etc. Even tried a brand new SD card.

Tried the GBATemp sigpatches, the coomer sigpatches (Rentry guide) and nothing worked. I know my way around Switch hacking so I tried a bunch of things over the course of those 2 days.

As a last resort, I used your guide with a freshly formatted SD card and now everything works, thank you so much!

Always Yoshi, but if he’s already taken then Lakitu or Koopa!

Wow, absolutely beautiful. Very easy on the eyes too.

Depends what kind of games you play. Games like Fortnite, Roblox (though it seems a workaround is being worked on?), R6 won’t work because of their anticheat systems.

Personally, 100% of my Steam library of 200+ games work perfectly on Proton.

Thanks for the info!

For sure. I prefer audio quality but this was easy to use.

I used spotdl to download mine. Though it grabs your music from YouTube, not from Spotify itself (downloads MP3s from YouTube) https://github.com/spotDL/spotify-downloader

You don’t. I don’t make the rules.

I’m gonna vouch for EndeavourOS on this one. It’s Arch based but it has very sane defaults. It’s the spiritual successor to Antergos.

For sure. I daily drove it for a long time many years ago when it was starting.

I tried it again recently when I was looking for a Linux OS for my moms 2009 white MacBook, since the default DE wouldn’t be too hard for her to understand.

I forgot how you legit can’t customize anything without external tools, PPAs and DEB support is disabled and requires a terminal command to enable, which is not user friendly at all for people new to Linux. Their App Store is also super buggy and the updates would make it crash every time I tried to run them, so again, had to resort to the terminal.

Lastly, I was surprised at how poorly it ran. I know it has a Core 2 Duo and « only » 6 GB of RAM, but every other distro I tried (Solus, Mint Cinnamon, Fedora) ram perfectly fine.

It’s just sad because it used to be a nice distro IMO. Now I can’t see myself recommending it.

/rant over, sorry

Arch Linux all the way. I love the AUR, the Arch wiki (though it applies to a lot of distros) and customizable it is.

I’ve had a Mac for a few years, but the Linux « itch » came back and I couldn’t scratch it with macOS.

Now I see just how snappier Linux is compared to Windows or macOS on the same hardware and I really don’t wanna go back.
