I have my main distro installed on one nvme, and have 4 50Gib partitions set aside on another for playing around with up to 4 other distros. No microslop. No other distro that I have tried had an issue with that set up.

I will check it out again some day on my old (pre nvme) pc instead. Much easier with 2.5" drives

Last time I tried to install bazzite, it told me to f off because I have other distros installed. Is that still the case?

I used it a few years ago multibooting and it I don’t recall it complaining then

I appreciate this page for that reason

oh wow fam, ai is protecting us from… ai

I haven’t used rocky, it is just the one that is suggested in the arch wiki link above.

No doubt that is what most people want, but it often isn’t how it works, especially if you want to use software on linux, that the developer doesn’t appear to want you to use.

Rockyos linked above via distrowatch might be your best bet

ubuntu is a misnomer

I’m not talking about starscream

ai is owned and marketed by completely evil people.

When I first looked into linux, I found heaps of recommendations for ubuntu, mint, zorin, pop, and fedora, but none of them seemed right (for various reasons), so I distrohopped until I found something that made sense. It’s easy enough if you use ventoy, and if you have a spare drive, or even enough space on a drive to make some 50GB (ish) ext4 partitions. Even easier if using 2.5" sdd’s since you can very easily disconnect your windows drive to avoid potential weirdness.

I don’t use da vinci resolve, it doesn’t sound linux friendly, aside from on rocky os (which I know nothing about)

The usual option is to look for alternatives to da vinci, such as kdenlive. Alternatives are not always of interest, or considered viable for some users of course.

I distrohopped to end up with it a few years ago, and distrohopped again this year, it’s still the only one that ticks the boxes for me. Never had any issues with it, on 3 systems.

amd zen 6 was mentioned, this is the 1st time I have seen it mentioned for a while, so I did a web search and straight away… ai bollocks, which is also the 1st thing you see when you go to their website.

the pc I am writing this on is all amd, and given the choice out of amd, intel, or nvidia, the choice would still be amd, but I would rather a decent choice existed, one from a different country would be a good start.

just human things…

manjaro, unless you can’t handle the plethora of meme type people telling you it is terrible, and downvoting you as if they have a point. It is the logical entry point if you want an arch base. https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=manjaro

garuda is also decent, some of their versions are over the top shiny, but mokka, and kde lite are much easier on the eye. https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=garuda

bluestar might also interest you, I have it installed, but haven’t looked into it much yet. https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=bluestar

Even when I was back on windows, my data was always stored on a separate physical drive, I do the same now on linux, and will never understand why anyone would choose to store the 2 on the same drive (unless they only have 1 drive).

I didn’t use ‘my documents’ and I don’t use ‘home’ either. No doubt there are some benefits to doing so though.

Agreed, distro hopping is the best way to find what you like, and learn along the way, but if a distro isn’t easy to install, it isn’t for newbies, or for me a few years in.

re: amd

#wankers

Their post here says that they built it sis.

What do you mean “besides the claude coauthor”?

How is it a claim, when it is clearly stated? (although not stated in the post here, because captain slop wants to pretend otherwise).
