Quoting: Fester_MuddGreat article! Ubuntu is highly recommended for beginners and stability seeking folk alike. It is always just a matter of time when a rolling release distribution such as Endeavour / Manjaro / plain Arch break or an update process gets borked.

User really has to pay attention to forums and such before updating their system on those type of rolling releases, and or acknowledge that there will probably be conflicting package issues and so on: delete the one for time being, pull the other package in and then return the first one. This is the reality on Arch-based distros and the "sacrifice" won't bring you any FPS really.

Have you ever actually used a rolling release distro? Because in the several years that I've been using Manjaro, that hasn't been my experience at all. Upgrades have always been smooth with nothing randomly breaking. It just works.

Be careful. Because you have a great experience doesn't mean it's the same for everyone.
Personally, I can't use Manjaro on my Desktop. Bluetooth 5 support for my Wifi card is hit and miss... Updates regularly break compatibility. Pretty annoying when you can't pair your controller anymore, on a gaming PC. After 3 or 4 times of these... Incidents, I decided to ditch it. I get the same issues with Bazzite, but Kubuntu and Pop_OS! never failed me. Go figure.

It's not just me. Every major update that is rolled out, Manjaro posts a poll to their website asking for feedback, and every time, the overwhelming majority of respondents vote "No issues".

The point, of course, is that your characterization of rolling releases as a house of cards that will inevitably collapse without warning is not particularly accurate, which is why I wondered if you had ever actually used one.

Manjaro is easy to install, is frequently updated, and just works.

Of course if Valve ever gets around to releasing SteamOS for the desktop then the "Best Gaming OS" debate will be definitively settled.

$10 for 17 games is too tempting to pass up. And at least half of them are classics.

That looks exactly like what I want from a Steam Controller 2. It's essentially the Steam Deck with the screen removed and the remaining halves fused together. That will be an instant buy when they release it.

Quoting: Mountain ManWhy do they bother when they know Nintendo is going to shut them down? 🙄

Not happened to a single decomp so far

Banjo Kazooie should come at some point hopefully since that's 100% decompiled now

Not sure why you disapprove so much over such old games being ported to pc lol

It's not that I disapprove. Rather, we know for a fact that Nintendo will slap this project with a "cease and desist", so those hobbyists are just wasting their time.

Years, decades later, because hobbyists today "wasting" time, people sailing high seas or random ex employee took something home, will be only preserved, archived, existing copies, samples of tech.
Indeed, waste of their time...

In the grand scheme of life, the universe, and everything, yeah, it is.

All I want is a controller with the same layout as the Steam Deck.
