Our king Sir Torvalds has spoken. And hence let there be rust in the kernel

I know. That’s why the live usbs are a life saver. I really just use the live usb to test everything out.

I can see everyone down voting you to oblivion… And that’s sort of fair. But that’s beside the point.

I was having trouble with NVIDIA while using mint early on and decided to switch to Fedora. Maybe try that once. Fedora has better defaults for nvidia.

Use the KDE Plasma spin btw. See if it works.

LFS is the only true distro

When will it hit arch linux?

I don’t think anybody gets paid enough to write that down. In fact, they might get punished for wasting company time. They could open source it and people would automatically fix these things. Who knows.

10% of the time its me. 90% of the time it’s me from the past.

I had tried opensuse tumbleweed and absolutely loved the way it did things, my perfect balance between fedora and arch, but there were Teo problems that I couldn’t get over.

1. Zypper is slow.
2. I couldn’t get it to do parallel downloads packages.

But it’s a great distro nonetheless.

Also it has a similar problem with fedora that arch doesn’t. VIDEO CODECS. I don’t understand how the USA messes with my ability to play a video and I am seriously annoyed by it.

Press Ctrl + Alt + F3 or F4

After booting in, switch to a tty, then start the de from there, so like I use plasma so I execute plasma-wayland. Check if that works, if so, then the problem lies with the login manager (sddm or gdm). If not post the error log and I will check if I can understand what’s wrong.

That truly is a shitshow

In general, I think genuinely that Linux requires a more hands on approach. But the best thing is, I solve a problem ONCE. Then I store the script to git and forget about it. The problem is done, it no longer exists.

My laptop came with win11 preinstalled… I used it like that for about 4 months. I can very confidently say installing Linux increased the battery duration of my laptop by about 20%.

Same here. I used to dual boot but finally moved to Linux and instead shortened my games list. Plus games that I really enjoy playing are fromsoft games,hollow knight, hades, dead cells and factorio and all of them are amazing on Linux. So sorry Billy G, no more OS level big brother for me

I have read online that Nobara/Bazzite etc have many perks, but I haven’t really tried them. The main issue of my system is that I have only 512gb of ssd storage and hence heavier distros are a no no for me.

Plus I used vanilla fedora from the get go and am not afraid to use the terminal or program something to solve any minor problems I am having.

I would recommend using vanilla fedora to first get the feel of the rpm ecosystem and if you like it,then test out the other variants.

I had a lot of the same issues you are stating until I switched over to fedora. I have an nvidia Optimus laptop and it was quite the pain until I installed fedora and used the proprietary drivers from rpm fusion. I use b9ttles and steam to run my games and I can play most of the games I want to. Even Wayland works nice. I am using the Plasma spin of Fedora 40. Hope you can find the solutions to your problems.

Protip, use Rufus to create the windows install stuck and disable all the telemetry if you want to.

Happy computing.

I did this. And it worked like a charm

I don’t tell you to not use gui. I tell you to use text editors
