I’ve been enjoying it on Bazzite OS. When it first launched it took some tinkering to get it running stable with no black screen flickering. After a few hot fixes it started again no matter what I did until I switched to X11 instead of Wayland. Now it runs amazing. The gameplay is rough in areas but what they have so far is great. I’m looking forward to whatever UI and game mechanic improvements they introduce.
Nobara was nice but doing simple tinkering with the theme and startup splash led to some system issues for me. So I had to reinstall a couple of times. But it lead me to realize I really like kde.
Bazzite has been my daily driver for about two weeks and so far I’m finding it to be more stable but still not perfect when it comes to gaming. I can say setup was super smooth and I didn’t have to do anything to jump into playing games with steam. It does have a quirk on my system where the kde taskbar stops visually updating and eventually loses functionality after I exit a game. I can restart kde and that resolves it. It is entirely possible that is a Wayland issue though. When I was using Nobara I had x11 so a little apples to oranges there. It is a bit of a different OS for me since it is a container focused OS. I’m having to get used to it but I think I like it. I think some of the issues I’ve experienced with it are just from my lack of knowledge with how I’m supposed to use it if there are more advanced things I’m trying to do. It has a focus on using flatpak for everything but if you want a package manager you can use containerization to install whichever Linux subsystem and package manager you want and run the applications that way. It’s neat. It’s kind of both easier and more complex at the same time.
The thing is at this point with all the effort Microsoft has been putting into making Windows more linux like they could literally make future versions of windows a new Linux distribution and heavily invest in improving wine/proton to run legacy windows applications. That eliminates all those decades of ancient Windows code and keeps compatibility.
And then started to undermine that innovation in their UIs instead of paying to use patents that are better than what they have come up with in its place.
Victor Timely was terrible, surpassed only by the terrible kang variants at the end of Quantumania. Majors just doesn’t have the acting capabilities to carry multiple versions of a single character in any believable way.
The platform of the fediverse may continue but the loss of community is still very much a possibility. All it takes is hostile actors manipulating their way into control of a particular community and then they can shutter it or steer it in a direction of their choosing. Every community on every server is like a Corp in Eve. It's easy to start an alternative but the specific community will still be harmed. But that's life.
