i was thinking of switching to vanilla arch but ended up going the other way and installed Nobara KDE on my laptop. I’ve had it on my main machine for a while and really like it. i prefer tiling on a laptop too and normally use i3 but i’ve been able to get a satisfactory tiling setup within KDE using Krohnkite.

i was liking endeavor but had to switch cause they started putting AI slop desktop backgrounds in updates

giving the pigs and the feds more powers isn’t gonna help anything lol

fedora or nobara KDE spin

also solved this by updating the controller firmware but yeah, you have to do that on windows unfortunately

who made you the fun police

protonDB is my go-to and most people on there seem to be having a pretty smooth experience with it! it is fun!

? rivals works fine on my machine on Nobara.

i have faith this will be resolved eventually/they will have to admit kernel anticheat isn’t even meaningfully more effective and give up on it. anyway loads of people don’t play multiplayer AAA so it’s a no brainer already for them. as the mass of people migrating continues to grow devs/publishers hopefully will have to catch up. 2% of the steam hardware survey is linux now, it could be 5% within the decade. that’s my optimistic outlook, i know i shouldn’t underestimate how out of touch the epic games suits etc. are though

“intellectual property” and copyright would just be totally abolished in an ideal world

i got around this by opening cmd (Shift + F10) during the setup and disabling the network adapter.

wmic nic get name, index

wmic path win32_networkadapter where index = 2 call disable

index will be 1 or 2 probably depending on your setup it was 2 for me. this worked for me recently on boxes on fedora with a win10 iso.

idk if you’re having the same issue but unborking my $PS1 fixed this for me. left right arrow keys should let you edit the command.

yeah I think you’re supposed to be able to but it seems borked for me too. my terminal kinda freaks out when I try to move the cursor to the right to edit the command.

edit the borking was for sure because i had a broken custom $PS1. i reset it to something normal and i’m able to edit the commands pulled up with Ctrl + R just fine now by hitting the right arrow key.

not sure if it’s what you’re looking for but on my Konsole (I think it’s actually just a bash feature), Ctrl+R lets you search through your command history and easily pull up past commands. it’s called reverse-i-search if you wanna check it out.

i found endeavor to be nicer than Manjaro but tbh I’m at the stage where i just recommend installing arch. it’s gotten a lot easier. endeavor is also arch based though so I’d go with that if you want super easy install / extra stuff installed ootb

endeavor keeps pushing updates with cringe AI desktop backgrounds and its making me want to install vanilla arch

finally switched to linux on my main machine shortly after hearing about the offensively short EOL. never looking back

KDE Plasma on my PC, just use i3 on my laptop. prefer using the mouse on a pc, prefer not using it on a laptop.

seconding Fedora, i used to use archbased only but recently switched from win10 on my main machine and wanted a handy out of the box gamer distro with stability, been using Nobara which is really nice. of course you can get vanilla fedora configured just fine for gaming, etc. my draw was just the convenience factor. there is also Bazzite another “gamer” distro based on fedora atomic so even more stable.

piracy is moral and should be encouraged actually
