I also play games on this system, so having newer kernel and Mesa versions help.

I guess I’m that guy in this thread constantly bringing up his current distro of choice lol… But have you tried Bazzite? From what I understand it’s basically Kinoite but built with gaming in mind.

If you have, I’d be curious as to what differences there were between it and Kinoite…

I recommend giving Bazzite a try for gaming. I switched to it from Arch (well EOS), and it’s been wonderful.

I loved EndeavourOS, but I’m just not sure bleeding edge is for me. Mostly because I will forget to update for a week, and suddenly there are 500 updates, all with interconnected dependencies and pacman is just like “wtf dude?”

I’m not sure I really gained any benefit from that over using a more stable release. I switched to Bazzite a few months back, and it’s been amazing. Immutable is very interesting, and it’s made for the most stable PC I’ve ever owned.

Highly recommend Bazzite for gamers (or I guess it’s good for multimedia too), or if not, one of the other Fedora-based immutable distros.

I’ve been using Bazzite for a few months now (switched from EndeavourOS, which was great) and it’s been amazing. I’m sold on atomic/immutable. I have never had a PC this stable, including every Windows PC I’ve had.

And it’s perfect for gaming. There are weird little tweaks and settings that I had to do on EOS to get my GPU working correctly, etc., and they all just work out of the box in Bazzite (I did get the iso image made specifically for my laptop, which definitely helps). It’s super impressive actually.

And distrobox (BoxBuddy comes installed) can be used to access the AUR or whatever if I feel the need to. Just fire up an Arch box, and have at it.

OMG I can feel the heat emanating from that photo

“derived” doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

You can easily set it up to do this automatically with something like timeshift…

I recently switched to an Atomic distro (Bazzite), and they have made it so easy to rollback to previous commits without any additional software.

I installed Bottles, but was disappointed when it didn’t actually have anything to do with bottles.

If you think every name of every product, etc., is going to be literal… you’re gonna have a tough time in life.

It seems like you would probably prefer baking as it is a much more exact science.

As someone who loves cooking but doesn’t have a dishwasher: it is the cleanup afterwards that kills me. Especially if I don’t do it immediately.

With certain things, you can clean as you go, but sometimes I need to tend to something and I end up fucking it up because I’m running around the kitchen trying to wash out the pan I just used while something else is burning.

It’s not confusing at all… How is this any more confusing than:

Flatpak - they’re not literally flat…

Snap - I’ve never seen or heard any evidence of something snapping by any definition of the word I’m aware of.

Dolphin - what the fuck is this, no sea life whatsoever!

Kate - this is a text editor, not a person.

Distrobox - not in an actual box.

etc.

It’s not semantics, they are two different things.

And to your edit… Are you upset that there are two different words that mean two different things? I don’t understand.

they decided to create a bigger confusion by giving another word a completely different and exclusive meaning

Isn’t this just how words work…?

Do a little research, dude… Do you think you’re the first person to have those questions/issues? That’s all been addressed.

I’ve been on an atomic/immutable distro for a few months now (Bazzite), and the experience has been great.

Right after? What year is it?

Plasma is KDE, it’s a desktop environment… So it would be comparable to “Cinnamon” or “MATE” for Linux Mint (I believe. I’ve never used Mint), not Fedora or Mint (which are distros).

You should be able to run Fedora with KDE and Wayland should work (unless it’s a hardware compatibility issue).

I used timeshift (plus timeshift-autosnap, and I think it was, timeshift-btrfs) for a couple of years on EndeavourOS, and it saved my ass on multiple occasions. Btrfs made it so the snapshots were iterative, and therefore only the first one is large.

Now I’m on Bazzite (loving it), and ostree has basically made snapshots obsolete.

I’ve been on Bazzite for a month or two now, and the experience has been fantastic. Still learning about ostree, and the quirks of immutable, but so far I’ve been loving it.

I went from EOS to Bazzite, and I can recommend both of them.

Just ignore the existence of proton, despite it being mentioned by name.

To be fair, Windows has its own jank. As someone who is forced to use Windows 11 for work, I’m much happier putting up with the minimum Linux jank I’ve experienced compared to the Windows jank.

If any of that made sense.
