People still out here saying that Linux isn't user friendly while I all my friends never touched the terminal the whole time they use mint and steam os

    So now: open terminal -> type in "ping 172.0.0.1" -> fullscreen the terminal -> pretend to be hacker

    I mean you could also open three terminals two left one right snapped to the side of the desktop, one runs htop the big one runs cmatrix and the bottem one is just ping 1.1.1.1

    I mean from all the stuff you get at default I would recommend Mint just because you rarely ever have to touch the terminal and it just works. And well if you game alot and want a bit of console feeling steam os or bazzite. Well every distro can basically what every other distro can just the initial packag is differentΒ

    Linux will really take off when Valve finally releases the desktop version of SteamOS.

    I’m waiting for the Steam Machine. I’m lazy.

    (Linux since 1995. But desktops are Windows 10 and macOS.)

  • Still have Windows 11 on my laptop just to get around the fact that some games that are definitely compatible won't start on my pc (also too lazy to get those games starting on there). The moment I have a Steam Machine I'm getting this laptop straight onto an operating system it deserves!!

    Twelve years ago my brother's ex girlfriend's wife attended Bottles for Christ where she witnessed a fight between two emerging authors, one was a woman who's name escapes me but the title of her book was "the girl with the dog dick tits". She didn't take kindly to another authors adaptation of the classic "pizza clowns from space hell", claiming it was rubbish and a direct insult to writers. They argued over several bottles of wine until the referees announced the winner was a different author who had written a cookbook about making dinosaur sashimi. Everyone thought it was ridiculous because you would have to figure out time travel in order to even get dinosaur meat, that is until a young descendant of Alberto Weinstein came up with a way to incubate dinosaurs from nothing more than the DNA contained in oil. Unfortunately he died of sepsis before testing out his theory and no one ever got to eat dinosaur sashimi.

    Bottles for Christ never happened again after that year, 32 people died of alcohol poisoning and another 210 were hospitalized with severe liver problems. At least those 32 people got to meet their Lord in the end so I guess bottles for Christ wasn't a complete waste of time.

    Tried to. It doesn't like my pc. Not buying new rig for it. Win 10 LTSC it is. ^^

    ( Honestly tho if you have modern hardware in any meaning of the word, try it. )

    If you've got a potato, try Linux Mint or one of the extra light distros, like PuppyLinux

    Not exactly potato, but my performance on Linux sucks ass and I believe it's mostly due to drivers. I am mainly gaming as of now, so not running games I can run on Windows is no go.

    GTX 750 + i-4460. So yeah, low end but servicable...on windows. Tried Linux Mint, Nobara and CachyOS. My benchmark was Fallout 76 and Hogwarts Legacy. On windows both work. On Linux, no matter the distro, Hogwarts dies pre "press start" and F76 blinks, lags and freezes. In both cases after I already set settings as low as I could, lot lower than Windows.

    Oh and yeah I tried various fixes and tricks, used both steam proton and GE, tried to adjust commands. Nothing worked. And all I am asking for is to match windows performance.

    you have to remember that proton is translating Windows software to Linux while you play so the fact that it works at all is pretty great, but of course it's not a great experience you've had!

    Have you tried experimental proton versions in the compatibility settings? Also do you have the proprietary nvidia drivers?

    Frankly Linux, especially gaming, is not ready without plenty of command-line foo

    Tried commands, tried proton experimental, tried gametime or whatever it's called, tried switching dx's and all that. And yeah, used proprietary, except on cachyOS which I believe supports my hardware out of the box.

    And honestly, I didn't need co.mand line for anything when I tried and. Spent a week on it, made it mirror more or less my wi dows config software wise.

    Only thing that, except gaming, pissed me off is Linux not being able to read my portable HDD. "Yadda yadda, suprblocm damaged, yadda yadda".

    Windows, seemingly, didn't get the memo as it opens it without a problem.

    translating! not emulating!!! (not sure what the appropriate word is)

    It's a native implementation of the win sys call libs, so it doesn't need to translate anything, but I see you meant like someone translated it, but you made it sound like it should somehow cost performance, as if it is being emulated or something.

    Oh what? My IP camera? My weather station? Should I install Linux on my doorbell?

    Many things are better without Linux in 2026.

    I own multiple Linux machines. I love them. They aren't for everything.
