That looks like a pretty nifty OS. If I can’t get the software working via Wine or something I’ll definitely try this before Windows in a VM

Thank you. I’ll be sure to that I have the libraries I need

Interesting. I use it on Linux and haven’t had the issue of uninstallable games. I wish Playnite had a Linux client

I have previously used VirtualBox successfully. I am really trying to stay away from Windows if at all possible. If I absolutely had to I might run a VM with WinXP or Vista just for it

I totally get what you’re saying. Luckily for me the program just runs formulas so I can figure out for instance what size plenum, what length runners, what size turbo, etc. I need. I’m not using it to flash a tune as my engine is too old for that fancy stuff

I’m getting Windows out of my life. I’ll look into Wine again

Like running Windows in a VM with the program? I really don’t want Windows in my life if possible

I tried Lutris first and it was okay but left something to be desired. I switched to Heroic and am in love with it. It works so well and the UI is great

Very reasonable, thank you

Can you elaborate on why new Linux users shouldn’t use an Atomic system? I’ve been looking to try one so I have no experience as of yet. My Dad wants to try Linux with his upcoming new computer. I was thinking Fedora Kinoite as from what I understand, they just work and have a very low chance of breaking. He doesn’t do anything beyond the basic computing tasks like web browsing, writing documents and spreadsheets, and archiving photos. Do you think it wouldn’t be good for him?

Well thank you. That’s very helpful for me

Okay so I understand you’re saying both work well for what they are. What is the battery time like with your experiences? Also, you mention the Gnome power profiles a few times. Should I expect a similar experience with Kinoite and Plasma? Thank you for your feedback!

Thanks! I’m planning to use Bazzite when I get my next laptop and this is very informational. I never knew about Universal Blue but now I think it’s a fantastic resource!

Using the latest Mint I sometimes connect my Bluetooth ear buds (ISOTunes) and have had no issues.

Definitely KDE Plasma

Cat walking across the keyboard. Didn’t know how to fix whatever issue she created

Welcome! As for the basics: Bleachbit (system cleaner) Flatseal (Flatpak permission managed) Elisa (music player) GTKHash (GUI way to verify checksums) FreeTube (YouTube front end) Okular (PDF viewer & editor)

Here’s another one worth a try. https://4get.ca

Pretty sweet. Now add Wayland and it’ll be a homerun
