greg just fucking cooked
unless maybe it automatically restarted and put all my applications back on screen that I had running, not sure. but I know it didn’t shut down since I literally hit the power button and it was immediately on, it was asleep.
they have an option which lets you turn off automatic updates
and with immutable distro’s, you can always rollback to a previous state instantly and not update the OS if you don’t want to, just the applications.
goodluck! hopefully Manjaro won’t push another broken package!
Bazzite is my first true experience with an immutable distro, and wow, what a magical moment it was.
I’ve been eyeing on fedora 40’s release for some time now because it fixes all the Wayland problems for Nvidia cards. One night my grandma needed some help, so I walked away from my PC, it automatically suspended, came back 30 or so minutes later, and when I logged in I was just automatically on KDE 6 with fedora 40, didn’t even reboot.
This is truly the year of the Linux desktop.
was just curious if like other video game series the story isn’t in sync with the time they were released if that makes sense
why would they post this on April first this is amazing
probably because keepass is installed via flatpak (default way of installing things, also they’re sandboxed)
still waiting on when they add EAC to Rocket League randomly without proton support
What do you want out of your system?
There are two more I’d reccomend as its what my family and friends have been using and have ran into literally, zero issues.
Linux mint (specifically cinnamon edition) is very stable, and customizable if you’re into that sorta thing, you can install custom kernels and get greatly improved performance out of gaming if thats your thing. It’s built off of Ubuntu (but just better) so there’s great support for it, especially with devices such as printers.
Fedora Kinoite is a solid, also well supported, immutable distribution which will either make your life easier, or more difficult.
Immutable means you can’t change anything in your root directory, so basically your “C: Drive”. You still have a regular file system and can install all your apps, but the operating system stays the same as everyone else’s and is something that by design, never breaks and “just works”, and is what I personally use.
Pop_OS is definitely another option if you have “newer” hardware and Linux Mint doesn’t work for you and you don’t like the immutability of Fedora Kinoite (you can always try regular Fedora KDE). But I’d personally reccomend just the first two. But Pop is also built off of Ubuntu, so you still get that great hardware support.
But please, avoid stock Ubuntu. Ubuntu has far gone away from being a beginner, “just works” distro.
Hope this helped! Please reply or message me if you have any issues or are confused, or you can always ask for some more help within this community as well!
You can also try their immutable desktops if you’re not planning on tinkering with anything like the kernel and just want to install your apps and have them work.
p.s. if you ever run into performance or weird flickering screen issues with Fedora, switch to x11 on the login screen
Tried Vanilla OS and immediatly screamed in my head “what the f**k??” when trying to access an encrypted hard drive.
LUKS was stripped for some very odd reason
man I love those old Eee PC’s! my dad gave me his old Eee 900 one when I was like 14 and I put Lubuntu on it and it was such a blast having this tiny little laptop I could take anywhere with a snes controller and play snes games on it without it taking any room, it came with a really cool Asus case made for it too. Sadly its just been sitting on my shelf collecting some dust not really sure what to do with it.

we anticipate that the kernel, d-i and images teams will cease to support i386 in the near future.
I don’t think it’s fair to jump on Microsoft for this one. Windows 10 has been out for almost 10 years. Apple gives less support for systems than 10 years, they are closer to 8, which is still a while.
it is absolutely fair to blame Microsoft, because they promised their customers, device manufacturers, and even businesses that Windows 10 was going to be their last OS, and flipped that switch out of nowhere when they realized they could be making more money.
Windows 12 supposedly going to be subscription based I feel like is a great example.
amazingly well said, thank you
When I was 13 and still watching LTT I had an extremely old dell optiplex with a 3rd or 4th gen i7 that was really starting to slow down on Windows; I just thought it was old hardware (partially true) but then LTT released a video about Pop_OS and was like “oo what’s Linux” and just deleted Windows and installed it. Never looked back! Everything was super snappy and I was really shocked.
