Quoting: GuestBut you know... have you considered debian?

Debian and Manjora are the two I'm leaning towards if I were to change.

At this point, what is the best Ubuntu alternative?

Quoting: subIt's a personal thing.
Feel free to hate me for this, but I never liked Ubuntu being considered *THE* desktop Linux distribution - long before the Mir and Unity troubles, btw.

With the latest move(s) I had high hopes that this might finally change in favour of sth. better.

Ubuntu has always had the goal of being an easy to use, easy to maintain Linux distro that "just works", and to that end, they have greatly succeeded, and most people who use Ubuntu and its variants don't know or care about the behind-the-scenes politics.

I suppose the question is, what other distros offer Ubuntu's "it just works" ease of use but without the "political" downsides?

Quoting: ShmerlI'd classify it as too little, too late. Trust is pretty much gone. And I doubt anyone would recommend Ubuntu for gaming after this.

I guess we'll have to wait for Valve to land on a new "recommended" distro.

Quoting: Mountain ManAny word on performance improvements? The game has always run like a pig on Linux once you start to open up the map a little bit.

Just Linux, or does it simply run like a pig?

Nintendo Switch performance is pretty solid. I've not played it on any other system.

You should never pay for an unfinished product. This is just common sense.

Whatever happened to the good ol' days when Valve used to make classic games like Half-Life, Portal, Team Fortress, Left 4 Dead, Counter Strike... it seems they have pretty much abandoned some of the strongest franchises in the gaming industry in favor of more Dota spinoffs that nobody asked for.

Since Microsoft has their hooks in this one, what are the chances that the original promise of a Linux release will be quietly ignored?

Quoting: ageresBut do games run well on Switch? I've seen on Youtube how games look and perform there, and it's horrible. Ugly graphics, low resolution and bad framerate for your 60€. MK11 looks worse than the mobile version of MK.

Most games run very well on the Switch and look great whether you're playing handheld or docked to your large screen television. Bad ports tend to the be exception rather than rule.
