“newbie gamer” sounds cute. Did you mean newbie to Linux instead? Or perhaps newbie to Linux gaming?
Hahaha yeah that’s what I meant. For a newbie Linux user rather than gamer.
Furthermore, are you also interested into a distro for yourself? Or to recommend to others? Or were you just interested in some of the distros you’ve been seeing and wanted to try a couple of them out?
I really don’t know. I’ve been using Ubuntu for so damn long now that it’s just comfortable to work with. I know all the dpkg and apt commands by heart and I know where to find everything when I need to really customize my system. Plus they have great support for 3rd party drivers for things like NVidia which is great. But, I’m really wary about the whole telemetry thing and sending package and usage data to Canonical. Plus, they’ve been pushing snaps pretty hard to a point that they sneak snap packages instead of installing the actual deb package when using apt. I don’t like being forced into using things like that without my express consent. So, yeah I’ve been thinking of switching.
I’ve been hearing about all those other new ones and was curious. I’ve been meaning to try them out for fun and who knows, maybe find my next daily?
Which would imply that you’re at least (somewhat) interested in exploring a different daily driver. Are there any reasons you want to let go of your current daily driver?
