You can try Void. With 4 Gb it should be a breeze. I’m rocking it on a netbook with an atom processor and 2 GB of ram and I use Firefox on it without any issues.
I added the Ubisoft Connect installer as a non Steam game, installed it with GE-Proton9-4, and then switched the shortcut to the location of “UbisoftConnect.exe”.
I second this. I distro hopped for quite a while before I found Nobara and have stuck with it ever since. Based on Fedora, but with a bunch of fixes and QoL improvements. If you’re a gamer, I highly recommend Nobara. Created by the guy that made GE-Proton, so he def knows what he’s doing.
I tried nobara with my lappy and it just did not work with my GPU (gtx960m). No matter what i tried and installed it just wouldn’t work. I switched over to pop-os and it’s been working like a charm since. So YMMV with whatever os you try so don’t be afraid to switch it up to another if one isn’t doing it for you
I daily drive Arch for about 7 years, therefore I’m clearly biased. But I love Arch for the AUR and the ease of getting packages. For me, it is the best OS on desktop to get things done. For other use cases, I would probably choose a different OS, but desktop is Arch all the way.
No. I suggested Arch and its variants for years, and I see the error of my ways. Merging pacnew files and resolving issues are well over the head of most newbie users. Arch is a great place to end up, not a place to start.
I recommend Linux mint to start, and Fedora after you’ve learned a bit. Nobara is cool too, but it’s a version behind Fedora, so I don’t use it at the moment. Linux mint is hands down the best place to start your journey.
I will say I have an RTX 3080 and AMD CPU and had issues gaming with fedora, Nobara and PopOS just a few months ago, endeavorOS is the only thing that hasn’t had or caused issues. Been running it for a couple months now
My experience with endeavour was much the same, I switched after building a team red system. Endeavour and Arch are wonderful distros, but eventually something breaks if you don’t closely follow release notes. You either gain that level of awareness and competence to fix things yourself, or it breaks and you just wipe and reinstall.
My brother, I have been caught, I didn’t read the last paragraph. Damn. Okay yeah, use EndeavourOS, on a BTRFS file system with timeshift auto snap and grub snapshots. Boom.
I don’t play D4 anymore so I can’t say if this still works, but back when I did, I used to launch it (ie the Battle.net launcher) from Steam, as a non-Steam game.
I also used the latest Proton-GE as the compatibility tool, so that’s something you could try as well.
That never even occurred to me and I used to do this for non steam stuff all the time. I mean without the added learning curve of Linux but still.
I’m gonna try that as soon as it finishes patching. If that works it would be so amazing. Almost too simple to actually work.
Edit- It’s already working better than Lutris. It would have chunks of the UI just turn black sometimes. All the interactable bits would come back if I pointed the mouse at them, but there would be black squares and rectangles all over the place with Lutris and I just chalked it up to a weird quirk that forcing cross compatibility just brought up inherently. Never even questioned it.
they’re the secret fourth and fifth window buttons that the government doesn’t want you to know about (one pins window behind everything when there is a lotta windows, the other pins it on top of everything)
The above user seems to be on Plasma. In which case it’s buried in the settings somewhere (KDE in a nutshell lol). I believe it’s somewhere in the themes section, IIRC.
On Gnome you can access the same functionality by right clicking the header bar. There’s also an option to have a window always move to the workspace you’re on, which is pretty cool.
E: idk who’s downvoting me relaying features that someone asked about, but that’s hilarious. How did that offend you?
