Dual booting W11 and Linux Mint. I like linux, but can’t get adobe premiere to work satisfactorily there. There are also some softwares like a viewer for 3DS games on my modded 3DS that I can’t really use either
We should send all those people, pages and guides suggesting distros to hell.
And then instead we suggest update-schemes (fixed, rolling, slow-roll), package managers and Desktop environments. People with enough brain cells to start a computer are then absolutely able to chose a distro fitting them based on that. Everything else coming with a distro is just themeing/branding anyway…
(and just for the use statistic: Archlinux, Opensuse (Leap and Kalpa), Debian here…)
Been running Bazzite for a month and having a great experience with it! My nvidea cards work with no hassle, and with the extended proton I have had issues with only 1 game so far, and even that was fixed by just switching to a different version. Only downside so far is that Wayland doesn’t work as well as X11 on my DE, but with the rest working great, I have no complaints :)
Would you recommend this distro to someone who hasn’t used Linux (Ubuntu) since 2006? I have nvidea as well and haven’t switched because I hear of issues with nvidea
So… FWIW I post often about I have a painless NVIDIA experience, including playing Windows only games, including VR games.
I thought “Damn… how did I get so lucky?” and yesterday while tinkering with partitions (as one does…) I decided I’d try a “speed run” to go from no system to a VR Windows only game running on Linux.
I started from Debian 12 600Mb ISO and ~1h later I was playing.
I’m not saying everybody should have a perfect experience playing games on Linux with an NVIDIA but … mine was again pretty straightforward.
I’d argue it’s easier with Ubuntu and accepting non-free repository, probably having the same result, ~1hr from 0 to play, without even using the command line once.
Boston has a whole road that is the physical manifestation of Chaos.
Storrow Drive. Runs along the Charles and is basically the northern border of the city. It has many underpasses, most of which are low enough to munch moving trucks. Every year around late Aug early Sept when college kids are moving in a few trucks get Storrow’d. It’s refered to as The Storrowing. It’s a fun time to need to get around the city.
Honestly Storrow is one of the scariest roads in New England, and I used to drive every day to and from work almost the entire length of Memorial which is on the opposite bank of the Charles which is a NARROW four lane road (2*2), with a speed limit that is both probably too high and completely ignored, on top of being almost eternally congested. How I didn’t see a horrible wreck every day confuses me still.
tl;Dr: Don’t drive in Boston unless your ready for some fun (I love the chaos)
