I’m a happy Linux user. The biggest problem with Linux for the average user is that you have to install it. Most people use Windows because it’s on their computer when they buy it. The average person isn’t going to distinguish between the hardware and the software. They see the computer and the OS as a package.
On my gaming rig I run and love Garuda, which is also based on Arch. I’m technical enough to handle Arch but I don’t like having to search around a bunch to figure out which combination of packages I need to make certain things work. Garuda comes with a ton of stuff preinstalled, which makes it a lot less lean than Endeavour, but I think they generally make good choices for default settings (I love their Fish terminal setup), and things like Nvidia drivers and configuration backups through btrfs snapshots just work out of the box.
For gaming I think Garuda or Nobara are the best bets, personally.
Thanks! I’ll keep this in mind when I go back to it.
I was actually in the middle of my first playthrough of Disco Elysian when BG3 came out. I wasn’t planning on buying it until I saw the crazy positive reaction. I had been struggling a bit with Disco, but BG3 grabbed me immediately and I’ve been playing it a ton, and haven’t had any interest in putting it down to go back to Disco. At least for me, I can appreciate that Disco is good but it doesn’t get anywhere near they same level of interest and engagement from me. But fantasy is just my bag, so that’s a big part of it.
I use Garuda as well! Can I ask what you’re referring to by the maintenance panel? I’m not able to place it.
Anyone have a recommendation for a good let’s play of this? Anytime I’m thinking about watching a let’s play I never know who to pick.
