Quoting: scaineWell, the article says Arch, but I think it was EndeavourOS that Liam was on before he hopped on to Fedora. Indeed, it was his article about it that convinced me to make the same leap. I've been on Endeavour for about 2 or 3 months now. It's great - really enjoy it, and no breakages, whatsoever.

Specifically I used the EndeavourOS installer yes, but everything else on EndeavourOS is plain Arch, their extras are very minimal and all Arch updates come as normal.

There's no such thing as the "EndeavourOS installer", you were using EndeavourOS as it configures everything for you not in Arch's way, which is a DIY way, but as EndeavourOS devs pre-configured it for you, so you should alter your title accordingly.

Again, Arch is not EndeavourOS because EndeavourOS gets Arch's updates.

Honestly, this is a level of pedantic that just doesn't help anyone. There is no special "Arch way", everyone has it done slightly differently - because that's Arch. EndeavourOS is 99% just an installer, with a few extras. Once installed, you're on Arch.

It's not 100% pure and holy Arch on the way it's initially setup, but everything comes from Arch including every single update - that's Arch enough for me. Feel free to argue it, I don't care, it's Arch.

Edit: added a note on EndeavourOS so the purists can be quiet ;)

Quoting: GuestI decided to try this last night. And failed miserably because I dist-upgraded to bullseye with all the latest & greatest, after which wifi no longer functioned, along with a half a dozen other problems. If you're going try all this, install from scratch with one of the images.

The Wayland component seemed just fine for what little I tested with it. Then I decided once again that Mutter wasn't for me (personal choice, I find it incredibly annoying because I can't alt+left mouse to draw a window, or alt+right mouse to resize it) and thought I'd give a few other things a go....after which I promptly messed things up again, and now need to install from scratch again!

(back to xfce4 on the next try)

Yeah their upgrade process could do with improvements. Last time I did the audio didn't work, took half an hour to find a fix <_<

Fedora does come with some of its own issues, like NVIDIA drivers being a nuisance to install, which they definitely should improve. If other distributions can do one-click or one-line installs, I'm sure they could do it too.

I like to install the NVIDIA driver using this [External Link] it is still not an official support from fedora but it is the fastest way on fedora also note that the devs says that it's Only tested on 9XX/10XX/20XX/30XX series discrete NVIDIA cards.

Huh, so it's like the one I used for Arch, wish it showed up in my Googling <_<

Oh come on liam join gentoo we have cookies

Liam has in the past nuked his system by compiling OBS and you suggest he use Gentoo? Pretty bold, if you ask me. :P

I have to hear that story :woot:

Somewhere I followed a wrong command, didn't pay enough attention, stuff got removed that shouldn't and it all died. It was a learning experience to be sure and I've rarely compiled anything since :P. Flathub all the way.

Quoting: ripperIt's basically one click if you install Fedora Workstation (GNOME). You basically agree with third-party repos during the first boot, and then search and install nvidia drivers in gnome-software, that's it. Workstation is generally more polished than KDE, which is basically just a high-profile spin.

Huh, good to know, would be nice if they did that small tweak on the KDE spin then, it would solve many troubles I had on the initial install trying to set it up.

Quoting: GuppyMaybe I'm missing something - but I dont see any kind of marking on those titles store page that they work with proton or are deck verified?

Had hoped by now that there would some sort of indication of games that work well with proton :| ( other than having to visit protondb I mean )

On the right hand side, under the languages list.

Quoting: einherjar"Steam Deck Developer Mode does not turn off the read-only filesystem"

Hmm, turning off the file system would be a bad idea, wouldn't it?

:whistle:

I tried to come up with a witty reply but you've done me good here 😅😅

Quoting: damarrinWhen I click on "The Wheel of Time" link FF warns me of a potential security threat listing a adtraction domain. Not cool.

Sounds like a plugin doing that? Get no issues here.

Adtraction is on the default filter lists of common adblockers like uBlock Origin.

Yeah, that's why I suggested it.
