Don't worry!

They'll quadruple..:)

Oh I've tinkered with Gentoo plenty in the past (I still miss OTW if that rings any bells) and no, I really don't have the patience for it these days. :)

And yeah, I'll probably end up installing something a bit more fancy soon-ish.. for now I plopped Kubuntu 20.04 on there and Diablo IV is downloading as we speak!

You're really selling it :D

..I looked it up. You're correct. That.. was flashy.

Well that's what's fun though isn't it? :D

I ended up installing Kubuntu 20.04 for now.. I was going to install Pop but they require a 1GB EFI partition and I didn't have the patience to move my Windows partition around to resize it so.. Kubuntu it is.

Knowing myself I'll probably distro hop in a few days again.

Trying out different distros are almost as much fun as actually using them (probably more fun at times!)

It's pretty nice that linux has gotten far enough that we can have that luxury these days. :)

That's another one I've heard of but never tried. Sounds pretty nice. Rathet Arch-like in a KISS approach l?

Sounds like a sweet setup for controller based gaming!

Yeah, that's basically what I figured. Plus some bells and whistles in the design department. Might just as well go with *buntu and install drivers then.

I'm currently stuck with a laptop thats creeping towards potato status so it's a bit hard to upgrade parts of it. :)

I'm happy just being able to run it almost to the ground as it is!

Ok, I want your setup. Can I have it? Please? :)

Sounds pretty nice!

Sure, there are some bad mistakes in there but that site feels like a personal vendetta though.

It looks pretty nice straight out of the box too. You used it long?

We used to run Ubuntu at my last job, it was so nice! I'm back in Windows land now though..

Good for you guys!

Sounds like a keeper! :)

Good points all around. I suppose AMD would be a better choice when the time comes to upgrade. There's no real down sides to them either compared to Nvidia except maybe not supporting the same ray traving tech?

I'm a bit out of the loop there though.

You know.. at least for me, I think I'm past the stage of being horrified over having to use proprietary drivers. I know it's not as nice as a pure open source system, but still.. it gets my system to run better, it's free and it's still Linux. So in my opinion it's a good tradeoff still.

I do get why purists would hate it though and I wish you'd get the same performance with a completely free system.

Geez.. you guys are making this hard.. now I'm bouncing between ubuntu, pop, endeavour and manjaro..

Nicely formatted post by the way :)

What bugged you about Manjaro?

Ah cool!

Not something I'd use now then but still neat that you can get it :)
