Lol damn, haven’t seen that one in a while. Always used to make me chuckle

Not questioning you, but curious to hear some examples since this hasn’t been my experience.

You can play almost any game on Linux these days. Often runs better than on Windows

I don’t understand… They don’t seem to remember it because they’re not mentioning it in their stories? Why would mentioning it not count as “feeding the outrage machine”?

Help me understand.

Lol yeah what? Play anything through Steam and it not only has controller support, it has everything support. Steam Input is fucking awesome

Sex offender registry?

Distrobox is fucking awesome

Distrobox is fucking awesome

Not to mention that it was generated based on stolen content. The irony.

Right, but you’re basically streaming a video and sending your keystrokes to the cloud to be executed remotely. The game itself is running on a Windows VM on a server.

I think you’ve got it backwards. You’re describing what’s a pretty simple process, as a pain.

You install the package and it adds it to your OS image (that re-initializes every time you boot).

They say you should try to avoid it if you can, so if there’s a flatpak use that, if not, then a distrobox with Fedora toolbox for .RPMs or Arch (for AUR and yay) or whatever other distro you choose, then shortcutting it right to your host OS. By this point, you’ve probably already found a way (or three) to get it to work.

If all that doesn’t work, then you can layer packages onto your image by installing the local .RPM using rpm-ostree then rebooting. I’ve only had to do this with my VPN client so far. Only annoyance is that you have to update it manually.

It’s not a pain, it’s just a different process than what you’re used to

Just an fyi, Bazzite does all of that as well. It’s not just gaming, it’s a fully functional OS

This is similar to my experience. I learned a lot by regularly breaking my EndeavourOS install, but after a couple of years I got tired of that and Bazzite has been almost boringly stable ever since

I switched a year or two ago to Bazzite from EOS, and it (EOS) broke all of the time during large updates. If I went more than a week without updating, it was almost guaranteed to break. I used TimeShift all of the time out of necessity. I’ve only needed to rollback my Bazzite install once, and that was because I fucked it up. The rollback process was also incredibly easy

sudo rpm-ostree install foo.rpm

Should work. I’ve been doing this with the mullvad VPN client. Only annoyance is that I have to manually install when there’s an update (the app notifies me)

Bazzite also manages the updates without a user needing to know how the terminal works. (I personally don’t like that, but it’s probably good for new users).

Should be noted that this is entirely optional. I update manually through the terminal with “ujust update”

Just not true. You can do nearly everything on Bazzite that you can do on other distros, there’s sometimes just a different (often easier) process to do it.

At&t isn’t the cheapest here, take a look at Mint Mobile it’s $15/month
