Dang that sounded annoying, glad Bazzite helped your deck. Good to know if mine ever acts up the same

Same thing, both words describe the same thing.

Ive heard very good things about CachyOS, tho I have not personally tried it. Seems to be the gaming distro of choice when people want a more normal linux, aka not atomic.

I do not have an Nivida card, but I udnerstand Nvidia on bazzite (and linux in general) is tougher than AMD to get things working nicely. As for the terminal, I have never once NEEDED to use to terminal in the last year. I have of course used it to do things, but it was rarely the Only way to do what I was trying to do.

Maybe what I am about to say is unpopular, but once I stopped trying to install programs that dont have a flapak from the bazzar store, my life got easier. Of course to counter that statement, I have several programs that are appimages that I control via Gearlevel, then a few windows apps running via faugus.

Also if anything tells you to use lutris, it is wrong, lutris imo is crap, and should not be sued ever; Lutris has not worked once for me.

What issues did your LCD deck have?

As far as I know Bazzite just needs to be on its own drive. It doesn’t or didnt play nicely with any other OS on the same physical drive; I Know that is the case for windows. Bazzite should not be installed on the same drive as a windows install. I am making an assumption that holds or at least held true for other linux distros as well.

I personally dont have any other distros installed so I cannot be sure on the above.

I have been using Bazzite as my main os for nearly a year now. I tried to swap to linux a few times over the last ~15 years, and always had to go back to windows. I like the atomic nature of it, while it does making installing some software a little harder the peace of mind I gain more than makes up for it for me.

I wonder if this is why an old friend of mine who worked at Epic as a manager of sorts in the AI department was let go recently, I bet he would have pushed super hard against an all AI or AI first mode to coding.

From my logs nothing bad happened to any of my services. I turned off my entire homelab for a few days until every single app/service had an update. Then I turned everything on, updated and that was that.

One cool thing I have is https://github.com/lklynet/hypermind totally pointless, but I like it.

I think the you/techtuber community loves to ride Protons D*ck. I would call many of them fanboys.
