Yeah those are the steps I followed.

I have used bazzite before and it worked well, I just recently reinstalled fedora after using Windows for a month or so (Thought I would need it for class, but my teacher is okay with us doing our work on Linux so yay)

I will probably just rebase than

By making that comment you did engage with it... Not commenting at all would have been disengaging...

I wouldn't advertise on the premise that Windows is a horrible, privacy invasive OS. Even though it's true that would easily be grounds for Windows to claim defamation and pummel the entire thing into the ground with legal fees

That makes a lot of sense when you put it that way. For some reason I never factored that individuals were extending apps for their own use cases lmao

I feel like Linux alternatives often falter by trying to offer as extensive of a feature set as the proprietary options. GIMP would be better if it simplified it's menu's and focused on offering a strong central feature set, then expand on that core over time to offer a powerful workflow of it's own.

I noticed this especially with FreeCAD, which is trying to do like 12 things for some reason? Just offer intuitive parametric cad and focus on it. We don't need OpenSCAD inside FreeCAD because OpenSCAD is already it's own thing for example.

Yeah that is wild. Back on windows I had a three monitor setup at one point and honestly rarely utilized the whole of it.

Ever since moving to Linux and learning about virtual desktops I have never felt the need for more than one monitor. So I could hardly imagine the need for seven beyond novelty lol.

Awesome, I will look more into that!

Any modern distro.

There are GUI methods for adding repositories to every major software center to my knowledge, and it isn't very hard.

Kate, and other modern file editors are more than equipped to handle some config files, that's probably the simplest thing ever.

There are multiple GUI front ends for samba.

Don't comment on the usability of Linux GUI if you haven't even tried in the last 20 years like seriously

Would not mind at all if consoles got lumped in and forced to allow alternative app stores

Yeah that's why I put it in quotes, it just kept popping up when I searched for distros more inclined towards gaming lol.

Yeah I didn't know about bazzite before going about this whole thing, but I am not going to try gaming on my system until nvk becomes more capable. Even then only light work.

I'm not necessarily a begginer as I have been using Linux for a few years now, but arch is definitely out of my wheelhouse

You even see this with games that were insanely cash grabby from ten or so years ago. Borderlands 2 made you pay for every level cap increase and tiny piece of updated content as it rolled out. The handsome collection fixed that, but it's still true that it really tried to toll you at every corner. Game is still highly regarded though.

The thing that kept me attached to VR was Echo. Guess what they did to one of my literal favorite games
