He’s evil. I honestly can’t think of a single policy he has supported that wasn’t cruel or stupid.

I switched to Bazzite for my new gaming PC and it’s worked great without any major issues.

The only problem I have is that I’m still not sure how to install software that isn’t through flatpak or package layering.

I’m pretty much the same as you. A lifelong Windows user who got fed up with the direction windows is going. I just recently switched to Linux for my new gaming PC and I haven’t had any major issues. The only thing I still haven’t figured out how to do yet is modding.

As for which distro to use, I would recommend something that comes with the graphics drivers already installed to reduce any initial setup difficulty.

I use Bazzite on my machine. It’s a Linux gaming distro which comes with all the stuff you’ll need to get right into gaming. It’s an immutable distro so it’s pretty difficult to really mess it up but it also makes things a bit more difficult to install anything that isn’t a flatpak.

It doesn’t even look that bad. I don’t know what he’s complaining about

Large corporations would be able to afford to make deals with ISPs to give them preferential treatment so that access to their sites are faster than others. This is good for social media sites whose whole business model is monetizing their users. Things like the Fediverse would be hit especially hard because of its distributed nature.

ISPs can offer further tiers of plans making it more expensive to access websites that don’t belong to major corporations bribing the ISPs. All the corporations win in this scheme while furthering the enshittification of the Internet.

Want to use Linux? Accessing those sites is difficult and expensive so why not use Windows instead

Want to use Mastodon? Sorry but that sites super slow so how about Twitter instead.

Want to use end to end encrypted email? Too bad. The connection their servers are super spotty. Better use Gmail or Yahoo for email like everyone else.

The bad sites are likely the ones to not require a fee to access. It would be smaller sites and the Fediverse that would become more difficult and expensive to access.

Why pay to access Mastodon or Lemmy when you can use Twitter and Reddit for “free”. It’s a scheme that would benefit large corporations over smaller independent services.

One of my favorite quotes is “A Republican would eat shit if they thought a liberal would have to smell their breath.”

This is real?!? When I first heard about this, I thought it was a joke.

Like SteamOS, it boots into game mode and provides the option to switch to desktop. There are versions of it that don’t have the game mode but I’m using my PC primarily for gaming. As an atomic distro the system files are read-only. It’s called atomic because the entire system is updated in a single operation instead of just updating individual packages. This means that installing new software can be a bit tricky requiring things like package layering or DistroBox.

One of the big things is the ability to just rollback your system to an earlier version if the update broke anything.

Bazzite is a custom image based on Fedora Silverblue. If you’re interested in non-gaming versions of you can look at Fedora Atomic Desktops.

I’ve just made the Switch to Linux for my gaming PC. I’m running Bazzite right now and it mostly worked. I had some trouble with my Bluetooth controller and speakers but they started working after I switched over to desktop mode and then restarted.

A lot of the troubles I’m having are mainly because it’s an atomic distro instead of a normal one but that’s on me. I figured an atomic distro would make it less likely I would accidentally break something.

How about they publicly warn about it as well as follow up with some criminal charges. We have systems in place to stop all of this but it requires the officials to grow a spine and actually use them.
