  • Bazzite Gnome- a hidden gem, as many think Bazzite is just for gaming, but it also has a great desktop mode. Pretty much indestructible (immutable), polished, pretty, has a modern kernel (so good driver support) and has Firefox and Libreoffice installable as Flatpaks. Great for kids and grandmas.

  • Hidden volume equalizers, whether in the OS, the audio player or the music. Also those players that skip the first second of music

  • Do they maybe have an app to stop that happening?

  • One GNOME session, multiple styles

  • Good choice! A tip: many media apps are better being installed as a Flatpak and not from the Fedora rpms. Many Fedora packages, such as VLC, are missing specific codecs and the Flatpak versions can generally play everything.

  • Does it get better?

  • I have just seen your edit. I had a similar problem with no audio but meter levels working on my toughbook. Could you start terminal, type alsamixer and turn all the volumes up? Press F6 to swap through sound cards.

    For me I had to adjust the headphone volume.

  • Cool beans. Let us know how your experience goes and if you have problems. I have it on four devices here and it has been very smooth every time.

  • Which variant are you trying? KDE? Gnome? Nvidia?

  • Seconding just installing something easy and pre-setup. Try a desktop variant of Bazzite (I like the gnome flavour) and see if most of your issues just disappear.

  • Bazzite has gained nearly 10k users in 3 months while other Fedora Atomic distros remain fairly stagnant

    Jump

  • Me too. The Bazzite desktops are amazing.

  • Am you grammar letting we down?

  • Looking to change to a Linux-based OS on a laptop, but I don't really understand coding so I haven't tried any of them. Is LinuxMint a good place to start?

    Jump

  • So we can't suggest it because you don't like it? Check.

    Won't happen again, sir.

  • Do:

    • Mint if you're coming from Windows
    • Ubuntu if you want lots of help online
    • Fedora if you want strong and stable
    • Bazzite Gnome if you want indestructible, grandma-safe and Apple-like.

  • Seconding and thirding the use of an immutable OS. I specifically like Bazzite Gnome. People know it for gaming, but many don't know it has a fantastic desktop mode, suitable for children, mums and grandmas.

    Almost all the software a casual user needs is available from their Flatpak App Store, and it's pretty as hell (looks very Apple-like and shiny). I have been using it for about a year and I am still impressed how fluid, polished and solid everything feels.

  • I can't believe it's not butter.

  • Microsoft no longer permits local Windows 10 accounts if you want Consumer Extended Security Updates — support beyond EOL requires a Microsoft Account link-up even if you pay $30

    Jump

  • Totally agree. Which variant? KDE or GNOME?

  • My latest hyperfixation

    Jump

  • All VP9 and Opus here, but I have a similar fixation. Wouldn't find this lady odd at all.

    Jump

  • The desktop version of Bazzite is such a hidden gem in the Linux scene. Polished, fast, and no fuss. I rate it the best distro by a good margin, and I have tried many many distros.

    How are you dealing with the immutable side of things? Was it easy to get your head around?
