  • I’m currently using bazzite due to its really solid out of the box support for gaming hardware and peripherals.

    I’m really surprised everyone uses arch. I have three theories as to why:

    1. There actually aren’t that many arch uses but when arch users have the opportunity they won’t hesitate to say “BTW I use arch” were as others don’t really bother.
    2. There are lots of arch users and everyone uses it because they want to be able to say “BTW I use arch”
    3. (Very unlikly) There are lots of arch users and it’s because it’s actually a good distro that people like.

    (This is mostly a joke jsyk I’m sure arch is a great distro)








  • Yeah that sounds promising. I have read the wiki page and I tried a few boot commands I followed this guide Here is what I have added to the boot manager screen:

    (without additions)

    GRUB version 2.12 load_video set gfxpayload=keep insmod gzio linux (sroot) /vmlinuz-6.11.6-300.fc41.x86_64 root=UUID=5еа3757а-72ac-492-9832-50b00b68f405 ro rootflags=subvol=root rhgb
    quiet amdgpu.si_support=1 amdgpu.cik_support=1 initrd (sroot) /initramfs-6.11.6-300.fc41.x86_64.1mg stuned_initrd Minimum Emacs-like screen editing is supported. TAB lists completions. Press Ctri-x or F10 to boot, Ctri-c or F2 for a command-line or ESC to discard edits and return to the GRUB menu.

    It didn’t work but I think it might be because I am doing something wrong here.








  • Yeah there arn’t many reasons not to switch to Linux but people still won’t because they don’t have any good reason to switch. People just don’t seam to care about there privacy and the idea of open source or know why it’s important. Although I’m hopeful that will change in the future

    Another reason is the idea of installing another os is intimidating for a lot of people most people buy a laptop or pc with windows pre installed and they just sign in and go the idea of changing installing an os seams to risky or like too much work. A good comparison is when I tried to convince some of my friends to use firefox one of them uses opera gx and he knows how terrible of a browser it is but he won’t change because he doesn’t want to move all his tabs. Another one just hated the name “firefox” for some reason.
