A Sharky Anthro

Just a dude on the internet, looking for content and fun! I love Linux, gaming, writing, reading, music, anime, walks, and occasionally movies too. Chronically ill and anxious too, that makes life quite interesting…At times. Also learning about my anthro shark leanings…Thanks furries for providing me with a safe place to explore this part of me!

I might blog a lot more at: https://brainbox.micro.blog/

Blogging, remains to be seen!

    Yeah, but ultimately, it was even easier with Garuda Linux which was built to be used. As my drivers were correctly selected when the installation began. It was a good surprise.

    There is a command line workflow for installing NVIDIA drivers, but, the provided drivers (which Trixie was built against) were pretty moldy at that point. For just a simple productivity machine, Debian would’ve been my go to.

    For one that is a gaming/entertainment/productivity machine…It wasn’t for me, personally. As Debian is pretty stable and mostly easy to use.

    Man, you had it harder than me with the realtek drivers. PikaOS is pretty cool overall, as it does streamline some things that Debian makes annoying (graphics drivers, for example). I do hope you enjoy PikaOS, after troubleshooting that annoying issue! The good thing about anything Debian based is that .debs are probably the most prevalent installer out there (cries in Arch).

    Terrible joke, but, to answer truthfully America is a melting pot. I believe in the strength born from people of numerous cultural backgrounds, as varied perspectives can contribute to building strong and innovative ideas/places/things. If anything, I am pro-immigration, I prefer people taking the legal route to becoming a citizen. Though I don’t agree with what ICE is being used to do at the moment. It’s cruel, despotic, and unethical to the max…MAGA feeds on the pain and suffering of fellow human beings, I do not.

    If you do have some experience with Linux, I think perhaps Garuda Linux might be worth a shot. It’s based on Arch and makes it pretty easy to install Arch and configure it. I find their ChaoticAUR is probably one of the best repos. The Garuda team polices it and keeps bad malicious builds from being born on that repo. I’ve gotten a lot of great software from that place and never touched the actual AUR. In my experience of running Garuda Dr460nized KDE on my gaming PC, it’s been one of the best that I’ve ever had. Surprisingly, I haven’t jumped to another distro (notorious distrohopper here). My system is pretty stable and I’ve not had any problems with my installation of 2 months so far…

    I chose Dr460nized because it is colorful and bold, but also customizable, it gives you a strong base to build off of. I also like Garuda Mokka, which has a chill, smoky, gray vibe to it!

    Also, Mullvad VPN is in the Arch Extra Repo, you would just have to set it up by installing the application and the daemon which would run in the background. It’s not particularly difficult, and only takes barely 2 minutes.
