  • What Distro should i hop to? Gaming and Development. Moderate Configure complexity.

  • I really like Mint, but I wouldn't say it "has relatively up-to-date updates".

    First thing that came to mind was Fedora, if you are willing to try an immutable distro I highly recommend Bazzite, but tinkering has its limits there.

  • Linux middle ground?

  • I didn't say it was. I posted the quote from the website to clarify.

  • From their website:

    "Update on Your Terms

    Pop!_OS provides the latest features and security patches through rolling updates and periodic OS version upgrades, to be performed at your discretion. And if you want a clean slate, the Refresh Install feature resets your OS while preserving the files in your Home folder. "

  • After having run Windows on my desktop for years (as I thought it was necessary for gaming), I decided to take the plunge to try out Linux again...

  • Heroic Games Launcher and Lutris also support Proton versions, since some games run best with them. But most games simply run with the latest version of Wine or Proton respectively.

  • I Just Removed Ubuntu for Archcraft and my Linux PC Looks Awesome!

  • Interesting, thanks! Never heard of Nitrux before.

    Yes that's true. I just realised that I apparently tinker too much to use an immutable distro as of now. But I'm definitely keeping an eye on them.

  • Yes of course, that's always an option. I was just trying to look over my Mint horizon and check out other distros and how they work. Exciting!

  • Godot 4.3, a shared effort

    Jump

  • Congrats to everyone involved! I'm really happy to see Godot thrive.

  • I like that article, I'm in a similar position at the moment. I've been using Mint on my Nvidia machine for a long time now, but with the new Mint 22 update that's also based on Ubuntu 24.04, I'm facing similar issues and so I've done some distrohopping over the past couple of weeks. I've tried Aurora/Bazzite and Nobara as Fedora based distros, Garuda and CachyOS as Arch based ones, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and probably something else I can't remember right now. All of them were great distros but had certain flaws that were offputting somehow. And I'm in no rush, since Mint 21.3 is still supported for a while.

    I'm still open to suggestions what to try next! I'm getting faster and faster with fresh installs :)

  • Best way to use GOG on linux

    Jump

  • Not sure about that popularity comment, it's also available on Windows and I know of many people who have been using it for years instead of the crappy Epic Store. And yes, it works great for GOG.

  • Thank you Mint team, you rock!

  • should have an importer for firefox, not only chrome and safari.

    Jump

  • Bummer, it worked for me, but not without some trial and error. I agree with you, it should be easier to do it.

  • You simply add the Firefox profile to Librewolf and everything's there.

  • Nobara 40 released

    Jump

  • Thank you, that's very helpful. I will have to think about it - it comes down to a question of convenience vs. "best" security possible.

  • Nobara 40 released

    Jump

  • Oh yes, that's entirely my own fault. I first installed Aurora, then Steam as Flapak and later rebased to Bazzite. It was all just for trying stuff out, on my main machine, the install will be clean.

  • Oh I think I've found my answer, it was about SELinux being disabled. Now it says on their official website: "SELinux:

    – We have replaced SELinux with AppArmor (AppArmor is used in Ubuntu and OpenSUSE) as we find it to be more user-friendly, less intrusive, and easier to write policies for. You will still see some SELinux packages as they are required to keep Fedora compatibility and not break package dependencies."
