I’d love it, but I guess it ain’t easy to create 😅

I’ll probably buy an electric car one day, but I’ll be paying a lot of attention to its repairability. We have to make sure brands understand that « programmed obsolescence » isn’t accepted by everyone!

I have never bought anything from Valve/Steam as I’m a PlayStation gamer, but their support for Linux and repair ability makes me think about a Steam Deck when my Surface Go is gonna be too old (but it’ll last for quite a while since Fedora isn’t as demanding as Windows).

Fedora Workstation with Gnome. Forgot to mention it 😇

Linux is the best thing to revive an old beast. I used on my wife 2012 MacBook Pro with upgraded SSD and Ram and it’s now a monster.

I only had to enable RPM fusion for WiFi to work, otherwise everything worked perfectly out of the box.

I agree that you shouldn’t be looking for windows on a Linux distribution. What I think we lack (for Gnome at least) is some kind of video explanation for beginners about how to use a DE properly.

I mean it would be so easy to start using Gnome while not understanding that you should/can use the different workspaces and only put 1-2 windows on every workspace.

If you don’t do that, you’re gonna end up with the impression that Gnome is way inferior to what you get in Windows.

I haven’t tried any other DE than Gnome, the one from Lubuntu or old ones like unity, but I guess the lack of explanation plagues a lot of DE.

I also think we should keep in mind that these beginners distros are often just a first step in the Linux world, so it’s also okay if they resemble windows a little bit to make users comfortable.

Well I guess I’ll try the Fedora 40 spin if it’s really vanilla KDE the way Workstation is vanilla Gnome.

I’d want to try it in a VM in Gnome Boxes. What distribution would you recommend for a first try after years of Gnome on Fedora?

Oh it’s good to know. Thanks

I love Gnome as it looks nice and is so efficient once you know how to use it (using different workspaces)

I’ll soon install a KDE distribution in Gnome Boxes just to try it and see what it’s about.

My answer would be because it is not from Google, Microsoft or Apple and it works perfectly.

Played it two years ago and really enjoyed it too. I remember there was a point I got a bit bored, but then the game picked up again.

That’s how you remake a classic!

Okay well thanks for the answer.

I’m gonna try to find an equivalent product then.

And to think I was recommending Avast to everyone when I was still a teenager.

I should’ve known as « if it’s free, it means you’re the product », but I was naive.

And even when you’re paying, some companies are still selling your data apparently.

Do you do this without even opening the controller?

I might try this before opening my Ps5 controller if it doesn’t work.

Was it an Xbox controller or a ps5 controller?

I wasn’t really against Reddit when I left to go on Lemmy. It was mostly to try something which is luving because of its users.

Now I’m glad I did.

I’d say it seems way easier to use the touchpad (if available) to move between workspaces.

The same to open the app selection menu on the dock.

And since you use the different workspaces, I’d say get an extension to open one app in workspace 1, another in workspace 2 and so on.

That’s my workflow at least😇

You have a point.

Personally, I was mostly thinking about these options for games developed mostly for consoles.

It’s true that I hadn’t taken into account that some games are developed for pc and downgraded for consoles.

Still, even for such a game I would want the developers to think about their perfect ratio between fidelity and performance.

Well I guess that’s too complicated for me but thanks for the answer.

I’ll probably just reinstall a windows VM, maybe even Windows XP instead of 10 for the nostalgia trip 😅
