Manjaro Linux 20.0 Lysia released with Xfce, KDE and GNOME editions - Snap and Flatpak support included

Quoting: slaapliedjeThis is probably what I would be running right now on my Thinkpad P52, except the installer doesn't work with RAID0 installs (unless they fixed that in this version?)
I had this problem when I wanted to raid my 1Tb NVME drives on AMDs x570 chipset early last year, None would work correctly, gave up and left how it was. OS on one drive and other was mounted as steam folder.

That explains the mass of updates when I switch my PC on this evening :)

Quoting: ShmerlFinally! Until now they even refused to refund the Windows tax. That's a refreshing change. Looking forward for them doing it for all Thinkpads. I'm only buying them with Ryzens these days.
It would be nice if all vendors offered all their ranges of laptops without windows if required.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPWhy Fedora, though?
I mean, nothing against Fedora, but wouldn't Ubuntu generally result in a better experience for users due to more widespread support of pretty much anything?
There's a ton of stuff readily available for Ubuntu (or rather, as .deb) which is not impossible to get on Fedora but you have to jump through some hoops.
Same could be said for Manjaro and the like.

Quoting: tmtvlBut to get anything on Ubuntu you need to add a bunch of PPA's, which is less convenient than using RPM Fusion on Fedora.
Indeed, It's why I chose an Arch based distro tbh.

I've not tried Fedora in a long while, I'm originally a RPM guy myself. Stemming from the Mandrake era back in the day :O

I feel old ......

Quoting: PublicNuisanceI love Manjaro but not enough to use Gnome ;)
Gnome :sick:
Why do you attack against Gnome with such passion? So many new Linux users love it, and in my experience it is the best Linux desktop for tablet.

This Gnome-bashing does no service to Linux in all and should just stop :O
Three things !

I didn't attack it

Second, I didn't make the original comment

Finally, No point in trying to defend by stating it's "the best desktop" , then state whilst using it on a tablet :dizzy:

Some like it , others don't , Get over it.

Well, I've stopped mine for the time being, not a lot of point with only a few tasks a day .

Interesting stats!
I see the Mac guys are few, probably because it shows how slow there expensive systems actually are :P

You're also comparing a MMO to a single player.

Internet speed will play a part obviously, I would except it been a speed issue if it was saturating my connection which it wasn't , not even half. Not tried doom eternal I will give that a go later being a single player game that may hold up better.

Please try D2 for a comparison with doom.

I have played Destiny 2 I just don't play the game as its not fun IMHO (How Bungie made this and Halo I'll never understand). It's completely playable. I will admit while playing with the Stadia controller Aim felt "floaty" but I adjusted to it and its more than playable. No such issue with KB/Mouse. I don't play FPS/Competitive games with a controller. My attempts at the crucible with the controller were laughable.

I also hopped into Serious Sam multiplayer and had no issues winning matches after adjusting to the controller.
All I can say is your view of fine/completely playable and mine are very very different, I too tried SS3 and that's as bad, input was better than D2 I agree bit still bad experience over all .
