Quoting: clatterfordslimWould love to get Cachy OS's tuned Kernels going though. Games would flow better.

Afaik CachyOS optimizations or any optimization for that matter can backfire and reduce perf depending on situation. That's partly why bazzite doesn't use optimized kernels. So I don't bother with custom kernels typically

Quoting: XpanderThat being said, I honestly don't know what to suggest to new users these days.

Me neither, I typically suggest bazzite however bazzite being unique in a lot of things makes you dependent on their docs & community. If you look up something for Linux, chances are what you find won't work on Bazzite. Doubly so when asking LLMs (I rarely do that but plenty of people use them often)

My actual daily driver runs Arch and I'm afraid of even shutting it down, but I can't move it to another distro either.

We are in a mess of wayland transition also. Lots of edge cases where things are buggy on wayland when it comes to gaming and at the same time x11 has its own quirks. So we basically have 2 "broken" systems.

Yep I suffer from that. I can't turn off vsync for moonlight on wayland and have extra latency, but I can't use my beloved touchpad gestures on X11.

The Steam Deck app is a flatpak hosted on a Nvidia repository.

Quoting: CloversheenDriving people away, contributers or community, or causing loss in morale, is a much bigger hit than losing a productive member.

It did drive me away. I reached conclusions too fast and decided Bazzite would no longer exist in the not so far future because antheas is one of the few members (the only perhaps?) doing kernel level work so they would stay, and other members would leave because of that. So I left their discord server and if I wasn't busy at the time, I would have moved to KDE Linux which aligns much better with my preferences: Arch based instead of Fedora with containers, all KDE / Qt instead of GTK + Qt mix, actively looking for contributors instead of established system, generic rather than gaming focused etc.

On the bright side, I used this opportunity to pull the trigger on discord, leaving almost all servers I was in. Including GoL. Now I have more time for myself. I no longer have to tell people to change the Wine version used by Lutris when installing Battle.net, last time I checked it still defaults to Wine-GE 8.26 which doesn't work!!

The bespoke maintainer is antheas I guess? They were pushing other members away to the point I feared the community / distro would dissolve itself.

I'm playing Outer Wilds and quite enjoying it. The game is non linear which is novel for me, the game makes you want to explore and find stuff instead of giving you a checklist.
The only thing saved is a log in your ship that shows what you have discovered so far. There isn't even a "Save and Exit" button.

Quoting: ShmerlMore likely someone running 32-bit Windows is doing it on x86_64 capable hardware, due to some historic incorrect installation. So they can as well install a normal 64-bit Linux there.

Windows doesn't upgrade OS arch during major upgrades ie. Windows 7 to 10. And Windows 7's 32 bits version has been more popular than 64 bits version, so if someone upgraded from Win 7 to 10 (with 8 or 8.1 in between, doesn't matter) they will end up with 32 bits Windows 10. That can be a good thing if the user as ancient 16 bits applications as only 32 bit Windows can run them.

So ones looking for AI options will be able to use them and ones who want to nuke them from orbit will also be able to do so. Perfect middle ground.
