Linux wasn’t very good for gaming in 2016 when I first tried it. Then I tried again in 2023 and only switch back because I can’t get foundry to be easy on my arch based system, so like 3 hours every other week and for the least intensive thing I run.
Foundry the virtual tabletop? If so you can run it via docker fairly easily
Well then I really need to learn how to use docker
Yes definitely look into docker. It's a very cool piece of software. If you can find a tutorial for what you want to run try that as it can be a bit confusing if you never used docker before
Yeah I tried using it for 5 minutes back on windows. Chaotic AUR has spoiled me lol
Arch really has like Apple level of hype and marketing.
The biggest company in the world vs dozen of fat nerds keeping a system as a hobby. Who would win?
No it doesn't. It's mostly a passionate minority hyping it up, but there's pretty much no marketing.
If any distro has "Apple level of hype and marketing," it's Pop!_OS or Ubuntu, because both have a large-ish company behind them actively pushing for user adoption. Your average Windows user is far more likely to have heard of either than Arch.
I have no problem with Arch or Ubuntu, I used Arch for ~5 years and Ubuntu was my first (used for 2-3 years). I'm on openSUSE Tumbleweed now though because it ticks the boxes that are most important to me.
Lol Arch users mad.
I wanted something with an easy to use wiki and Garuda fit my needs. Idk
