A tip to new arch users, keep the AUR package numbers very low or at least mostly limited to packages officially endorsed or potentially maintained by the main project.
ruh-roh. um…so I shouldn’t just be installing packages based off the date and not thinking “hmmm, I wonder if it’s on AUR…oh it is, let me clone this sucker”
cause yeah…I’m really addicted to AUR.
and yes I’m a new user.
I’m guessing all those humanitarian aid workers they murdered a few months back were also “Hamas commandos”.
So basically if you’re in the area, and you’re not with the IDF, then you must be Hamas.
oh Bryan Lunduke? can someone spare me a grain of salt before I click the link? appreciaet it.
you sir are a scholar and a saint.
question for you and anyone else for that matter: I’m using CachyOS right now and it’s fine, I like it but the more I read about Fedora the more I’m tempted to switch. Would you go with just straight up Fedora 40 or give Nobara a shot?
really? anticheat causes you problems? weird. been playing Elden Ring all day with no issues.
I also play a couple MMOs which update constantly and haven’t had any issues with either.
I’m 40 years old, I don’t know anyone my age that has a “budget” it’s more like “oh sweet I got some cash leftover after paying everything? I can eat decently this month and maybe get a video game”.
It’s like speedrunners with videogames.
a decent tiler. I’m on plasma 6 so best I can do right now is polonium. it’s fine but I feel like I could be doing better. unfortunately I can’t find anything else that works.
I’d play a Battle Royale game that takes place on a cruise liner. But instead of guns and sheilds and shit you only have access to whatever is available on the boat and you drink alcohol as your “shields”. using deck chairs and paddles and shit. If you win you become captain of the boat.
I had this issue with Horizon 4. 1. are you using big picture mode? or 2. did you turn off steam overlay?
my issue was it stopped working for this specific game when I had the steam overlay turned off, I randomly turned it back on and the controller started working again. only affected Horizon 4.
but if you’re using BPM mode apparently there’s a fix here: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/1549#issuecomment-447654643
meh, and this is just my honest opinion, but I don’t think any of the distros look good right out of the box so the way it looks isn’t a deal breaker as I just end up cutomizing them anyways.
Israel looking at Nazi Germany and saying “well…I mean it did work on us so…”
well that’s fine I’m just stating with my personal experience I had more issues using Mint than I have using CachyOS. If Cinnamon broke on Mint due to customizing or what have you it REALLY broke to the point I needed to reinstall the OS. there were other issues with Mint (the Nvidia stuff being huge) that would break and would result in a reinstall. that’s the reason I made the move to another distro.
With CachyOS and Nobara they both feel more focused due to having small or single team members. Mint really felt like it was all over the place and broken. I’d say Mint is great for a brand new user for a couple weeks but you’ll quickly find it’s limitations, it’s not a distro I would stick with.
but this is just personal preference, I did like your write up and it has motivated me to switch to just using straight up Arch or Fedora.
I started with Mint for like a week then switched to CachyOS and I just installed Nobara on a separate partion to play around with. I’d say they’re both fairly beginner friendly. I mean I’m a brand new linux user and setting up CachyOS and customizing it to how I like it was a breeze. and with Arch, again as a noob, it’s pretty straight forward using AUR. Honestly all I knew at the beginning was git clone and then makepkg -si or pacman. With Octopi it was even more brainless.
I also tried Bazzite and I just didn’t like it at all. I like trying out distros on a live usb and Bazzite doesn’t povide that option (at least from what I could find) but once I got it setup I just didn’t like it. I prefer CachyOS, at least as far as gaming goes, over Bazzite.
If anything I found using Arch/CachyOS more user friendly than Mint. I had massive issues with Mint and Nvidia stuff but with Cachy it just worked and worked better.
Keep in mind like I said I’m a huge Linux noob, I’m only about a month into this but I really like Arch and the ease of finding things.
other than games/steam pretty much everything else is FOSS.
i’m just skeptical. Secret service let him stand there a couple times and pose. wouldn’t they wisk him off stage regardless of his protests?
regardless this will decide the election and as of today the US is fucked.
it’s just very convenient and fantastic timing. They’ll rally around this, they got their photo op, naturally blame the libs and It wouldn’t surprise me at all, not one little bit, that when they “find” the shooter…gasp…they’ll be a self proclaimed massive liberal.
This just seems like russan levels of “fell out a window” bullshit.
Just as I get everything all how I like it you make this comment, I look it up, god dammit i have my snapshots ready.
personally I’m addicted to AUR. I just like going down the rabbit hole on there and seeing what people have.
