I’ve had a significantly better experience with EndeavourOS than I ever had with Nobara, or literally any other distro, and the list of them I’ve run through is pretty long. Nobara was good, and I’d be curious to see how its improved, but at this point I’m so happy with Endeavour that I don’t know when I’d ever get around to putting Nobara on bare metal again.

Okay. I finally ran it. I used GE Proton 8-11 and it runs like a Swiss watch on my machine.

So, just use glorious eggroll homie. You up to speed on using protonup-qt already I imagine?

Homie I’m so sorry. I should have mentioned I work 60 hour weeks. Tomorrow or maybe even tonight I’ll try and give it a whirl.

Ooo ooo I’ve got one.

Kena: Bridge of Spirits. It’s like a Pixar souls like adventure game. Lots of foresty magic, very beautiful, and challenging enough to give you a run for your money while she laughs at your many failures.

It’s a good game.

You know, I haven’t revisited this game since switching to Linux. Now I kind of want to spin it up and see what happens. I’ll report back if fail or succeed.

I’ve gone through about a dozen distros over the last year since I decided to use Linux exclusively, finally landing on EndeavourOS as my current home distro.

You know what I’ve found? I don’t play games nearly as much, because due to whatever the hell is wrong with my brain, I enjoy the troubleshooting as much or more than the gaming. It’s become an unexpected weekend joy to find some random game from my past have an absolute ball tinkering to make it work only to finally launch the game and say “alright, that was fun” and go to bed.

I should probably see a professional.

I’ve been considering upgrading from my gaming laptop (intel/nvidia) with a secondary monitor to a monstrously specced out Thelio Major with a Ryzen 9 and RX7900. I have more money than time to build, I like the idea of coreboot and supporting system 76 as a company.

I’ve dealt with a slew of multi monitor issues already and my big hope for this new machine (aside from it being a gaming rig with some longevity spec wise) was that most of these display issues would be a thing of the past.

Reading this has me feeling a little crestfallen. Is this what I should expect from newer team red components? I usually run EndeavourOS and would probably install it before even booting Pop! which I’ve used and don’t really care for.

No. EOS is short form for EndeavourOS. The tiling is not a function of a distro, but a function of the desktop environment running over the distro, in my case KDE Plasma, which has the excellent tiling system I referenced in my prior comment.

I use KDE with EOS and I’d argue that the tiling is better. Super+t opens your tiling layout, you can split your desktop up into a preferred format, split up any way you like, shift+click and drag to pop windows into the tile spaces. I’m sure there’s other hot keys for it I haven’t bothered to learn yet. Pull up a video on it sometime.

There are definitely sacrifices going to Linux for gaming. I feel like proton and the steam deck are just now opening the door for Linux gaming to be taken somewhat seriously. The more users switch, the more seriously we’ll be taken as customers, I hope anyways. And hopefully those sacrifices will become less and less.

Good for you! Pop!_OS is where I got my start as well about a year ago. 12 distros later I’m a happy EndeavourOS user. Learning an arch based system was a bit of a jump from “easy” distros like pop and mint, but it’s significantly snappier and issue free so far, so long as you get handy with the terminal.

Pop is great, but don’t be afraid to branch out and play around at some point, I have as much fun fiddling with my system as I do gaming now.

Thanks for the great share. I try to convince my loved ones of the value of even small, low effort ways to control their data slug trail. They don’t get it. Not even a little bit. And the vast majority of people won’t care until we’re all living in a black mirror episode.

Are we already living in a black mirror episode? Fuck.
