If you all you have is Linux, you’ll be forced to adapt. Bite the bullet and just do it.

I’ve been using Bazzite on my 2 desktop PCs for +1.5 years, I recently installed it in a mini gaming PC for my living room TV, and I also have a Steam Deck which is basically identical to Bazzite.

I freaking love it, best computing & gaming experience I’ve ever had.

It sucks for gaming.

They make systemd, right? Isn’t it present in 99% of all linux computers?

TeamSpeek or Mumble.

Both have excellent voice chat.

So, all downstreams have no added value?

Why would it break?

If he’s a dev, he might actually prefer it. Just explain and let him decide which one he wants to try first.

I prefer Gnome aesthetically, but I value more KDE’s speed to implement gaming related features.

Since Valve’s midas touch, KDE Plasma has been pure gold for gaming. I love it.

I love Gnome, for me… their UI is the most beautiful of any desktop OS. But I had to move to KDE Plasma primarily for all the gaming related features that come out first on Plasma. That led me to see just how much flexibility I was missing.

Now I greatly value both desktop environments, both visions are valid, but they cater completely different minded users.

Please share an example podcast title & author.

I would love to see the OS share. I bet us Linux users are all over it, since right now it is the only tool we can use to do all of that in the same place and easily.

It will depend on how upstream (Fedora Silverblue) implements it. From my understanding, it will straight up replace it, and remove SDDM.

KDE Linux will probably have it first.

My biggest issue: no support for rdp

Pet peeve: In immutable distros you can’t change the background image… and I happen to strongly dislike Aurora’s artwork. I run Aurora on my work laptop, and my login screen looks like some kind of a bizarre childish acid trip. Embarrassing to say the least, but the distro itself is top notch.

In Bazzite it’s usually between same day and 24 hours, since the build process is fully automated.

I agree 100%. Gnome is gorgeous. I switched to KDE because they get gaming related features first, I assume because of the Valve collab.

You won’t lose it. They’ll just turn it off by default for new users.

That’s exactly what’s happening.

I’m using it with CoMaps, freaking great.
