  • Just normal, the only thing that Russia could provide is the protection of the ppl Armenian ppl on Azerbaijan. After that, joining international criminal court can help put some eyes of westerns on the situation, since western countries usually don't care about genocide perpetrated by allies, and Azerbaijan is very close to Otan.

  • All distro with a good installer using kde plasma, mate or something similar to windows are great, mint, endevour, Ubuntu or even mocaccinoOS. Driver issues should not be a thing for almost all distros, Debian or slack maybe but just becaus.

    Anyway, OP mentioned it was not his first rodeo.

  • My example is just me, but I started with Ubuntu 10 years ago, and I broke that shit all the time. I had a not so good internet connection and half of the issues were related to dpkg not committing the installation.
    I also think that AUR have the opposite effect comparing with PPAs, that I found much more error prone.

  • I can say about CS, I can run on average 150hz in low setting and FSR on performance, the game seems like shit, but you can. On medium, I can run around 120, and I feel that some maps are heavier.
    Do you are playing on Xorg? Usually wayland can have some impact on your game.
    Are you experiencing too much stuttering in all games? Recently I discovered my MOBO was trolling and I had to disable some energy related features.
    Are you running your game with gamemode? It can make a great difference.
    You can also try different kernels https://youtu.be/qNzd57b0h08

    Operating System: EndeavourOS KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.8 Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 12 × AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor Memory: 31,3 GiB of RAM iirc it is 3200 Mhz but it should not have a so big impact Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT

  • Welcome, I was very excited to make a full switch and ditch windows from my life 2 years ago, It makes me love to use my PC again. First, distro, I suggest 2 Mint and EndevourOS, I suggest this two because they are community driven with a great user base and are very user-friendly.

    Why Mint? Mint has specific versions, you will update similarly to windows from time to time, you sometimes will not have the latest version of a package but is not that stale as a distro like Debian that aims for maximum stability and is sometimes too old for some normal desktop stuff.

    Why endevourOS? EndevourOS is probably the well-rounded, user-friendly rolling release distro out there, you will always have the latest versions of your packages. It is based on arch, that is the fact the best rolling release distro, but have a more normal installation, Arch is just unbearable to install for any non-experienced user, you have to learn so many things that I feel is a waste of time of a new user that want to touch the buttons, but I do recommend to you if you want to understand your system in the future.

    Now about the desktop environment, I suggest you take some time choosing and even hoping between them, it would be your daily workflow, and it is more important than distro. Here is a great video talking about the major ones, you can have multiple DEs at the same time, if you install a new DE you can switch between them in your login screen, do not be afraid to test.

    About games:

    If you use steam, always check games compatibility here. It is a community resource to talk about how you run your games.

    If you use GoG or Epic, Heroic is a great launcher that aggregates both.

    About wine, wine is a program that translate windows programs to linux, every non-native game on linux run through wine (even valve proton is just a product on top of wine with some additional sauce). Wine has the concept of wineprefix that is the folder that contains your Windows driver (C: disk and configuration about this wineprefix), if you just run a program with wine it will default to the folder ~/.wine on your personal desktop. I took some time to get it, and I believe it would have helped me to understand earlier.

    Both steam and heroic uses different wineprefixes to manage your games, but if your game is not from these 3 stores? (you can manage it by hand but... you know, I'm lazy)

    There is Lutris, Lutris help you to manage games in different wineprefixes and have an amazing interface to configure a lot of stuff, there is also a repository of installer scripts that you can click and run, I feel lutris a little more complicated cause usually I had to do tinkering (older scripts and things like that). You can also install your games directly or even other programs if you want to keep your wineprefixes organized.

    Have a great journey.

  • Not the OP here, and I do not disagree with you in general, but I feel that Kazakhstan seems a cool place, the other Turkish countries seem "visitable" as well. The big problem is all these countries with sharia law or with a big influence of sharia defenders, and it is not only Middle East but a lot of saarian countries too.

  • It should work, afaik chroot always use the binaries of the system you chrooted, so you will be able to use pacman normally. I don´t remember if chroot will mount the efi partition by default, you can do this before go to chroot (again, I'm have some memory issues but I believe that /dev does not mount as well if you just use chroot, this is why arch have arch-chroot that mounts this kind of stuff but you can mount before so it should work).

    Assuming you are using systemd boot on efi partition (that is likelly if you have not changed the installer defaults), what I would do:

    • On your live CD run sudo fdisk -l to get what is the efi partition, usually will be /dev/sdb1 since sda will be your usb, you should be able to see something like that.
    • Then you will mount your endevour partition, in your situation should be sudo mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/mydisk but check your fdisk command output.
    • Now you will have to mount the efi partition sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/mydisk/efi
    • Then you can use chroot /mnt/mydisk/ and proceed to do a pacman -Syu, this should trigger the post scripts that create the kernel images on the efi partition.
