Thanks I’ll give this (and the other Fedora-specific reply) a shot.

Fish is so helpful

Thanks!

Can’t seem to get this to work on my framework laptop (running Bazzite).

Anyone have any insight on how to do this with the FW keyboard?

I don’t. I switched to Bazzite after using EndeavourOS for a while, and those are the only two I’ve used. I see no reason to ever go back from Bazzite though.

With immutable distros you can “rebase” very easily to a different immutable distro with literally one command. I haven’t really messed with it yet, but it seems pretty straightforward.

Ooooohhh can’t wait to see the idiotic conspiracy theories about this…

Also, just more shit for crystal mommies with no scientific literacy to use to try to explain “energy” to me.

Does it mean Nvidia support on par with that for AMD?

I’m probably not the right person to answer this, but my immediate thought was no. I believe AMD allows for open source drivers on Linux, which this specifically states Nvidia won’t be doing.

I don’t know what it is you want to distribute, but if it is newsworthy or political in nature, I think most media outlets (like “legit” ones like WaPo, NYT, etc.) have ways of contacting them through Tor for situations where the person with the information might have legitimate fears for their safety (e.g. whistleblowers).

But that’s really only for a certain type of “post.”

Fair enough… It’s been nearly a month since I commented here so I don’t remember the exact situation, but if having a lot of updates was an issue, then yeah maybe not EndeavourOS. There may be LTS versions, but since it’s based on Arch, I’m not sure. I personally don’t mind it, and have yet to have a single issue with an update “breaking” something (though I have Timeshift set up to take a snapshot before updating just in case), but I guess

I could see someone being annoyed by having the little thing pop-up to tell you how many things you could update, but I kind of like it I think. It kinda feels like I’m very slowly, incrementally, making my laptop better, albeit usually in ways I can’t even perceive at the time.

But hey, everyone has their preferences. That’s why there’s a billion distros to choose from.

I second EndeavourOS. My first distro and it’s been a great experience. I’ve felt no desire to switch.

Steam/games have worked great.

You can do all of that with most basic file explorers. I use Dolphin on KDE. Change the view to “details” and right click the top and choose which metadata fields you want to show up. Then you can sort or filter using metadata.

But regardless of what distro they use, they’re probably going to have to Google stuff every now and then. If they’re not ready for that, then maybe they’re not ready for Linux.

I switched a few months ago, and EndeavorOS is the only distro I’ve used and see no reason to switch. It’s been fantastic.

Recently switched to Linux a couple months ago and can’t recommend EndeavorOS more. It’s great.

I wish more PlayStation games would allow use of motion controls. I’ve gotten used to enabling it with Steam Deck to actually make fps games playable for me on controller, then when I switch to ps5 and start tilting the controller for precise aiming and nothing happens…

Steam input, and their customization options for controllers on Steam Deck (or I guess in Steam in general) are incredible, and something I don’t see mentioned nearly enough.

Adaptive triggers begin as a hardware feature. Steam Deck can’t emulate that without changing the triggers out completely (if it’s possible at all).

I imagine the internal motors for the crazy precise haptic feedback is also hardware level.

Look into Steam Input if you think they’re in any way equal (or even in the same ballpark). The kind of things you can do with Steam Input is incredible, and sometimes pretty mind blowing. You can make radial menus if you want.

It matters quite a bit if you’re gaming on Linux.

Lol the Switch e-Shop doesn’t have a cart. Unless they added one pretty recently.

But that’s Nintendo so…

I’ll look into it, thanks.

Tocuhpad worked fine with 3+ fingers when it was still running Windows (before I put Linux on it).

I’ll look into using KWin for this. As I said in the other reply, I’m using Wayland, so if that’s a feature from X, that could be why I can’t do it currently.
