This also extends to playing games (unless you're using Nobara, then again, I still prefer Windows for that). I'm not sure what you are talking about. Almost all software runs way faster on Linux than it does on Windows. Even most games that aren't native run much smoother on Linux. In games like GTA 5 on max settings I get double the amount of FPS compared to Windows and in other games it's even more. At this point Linux is literally better for gaming than Windows. |

In games like GTA 5 on max settings I get double the amount of FPS compared to Windows and in other games it's even more. At this point Linux is literally better for gaming than Windows. Well I literally couldn't disagree more. Performance-wise, I got it worse on Linux sometimes for some games like Elden Ring (to name one on top of my head), but maybe it's just my machine. But honestly, I don't mind it that much because it's usually insignificant for most games. But Linux runs into lots of issues that I can hardly say it is "out of the box" for gaming. This is the same for browsers (that said, I don't use Firefox, which is what was recommended, and I usually use Edge, used to use Chrome, both were literally a lot worse on Ubuntu and Debian). If we want to go a bit further, the average joe prefers Office tools like Word (including myself) over LibreOffice as well. You can certainly get Office on Linux, but I wouldn't really say it's optimal. But yeah, most of my time is spent on programming with servers, as well as stuffs from both front and backend so I use Linux most often anyway. I love it, but honestly it's not perfect. I use different OS for different purposes and that is working the best for me. |

| Sooner or later, I'll be messing around with Gentoo or derivatives. Yes, that could mean making the OS from scratch. Other than that, I'm glad that Xenia or new emulators are making their way to alt-tech so that heavy gaming on an open source OS will be even more possible. Can't wait to ditch Windblows for good. Everyone knows that alt-tech is free of political correctness. Like piracy, I see alt-tech as a way to stick it to the man which is America's plutocratic regime. |
_Nette_ said: You can officially now say "BTW, I use Arch" then. I was surprised to see they went with Arch for the Steam Deck, but then again: rolling release, packages are always up to date, bugs are squashed fast. Ran Arch for a time, great choice.I own a Steam Deck now so I have joined the enlightened ones by a technicality. Kurt_Irving said: Ah, Gentoo. Haven't run it in years but I remember when I got my first Stage3 install properly configured & working with AMD graphics back in 2010. Stayed on there for a bit then went to FreeBSD & loved the ports system it has. Can be a bit tedious to set up but once you learn the in's & out's of emerge, USE flags, & the make.conf file it's not too bad. I like that they're providing pre-compiled binary kernels from Debian now as an option, that's a nice touch. Genkernel always made it so easy to build new kernels though. + No SystemD init shoved down your throat unless you want it (it's an available profile for system setup), so that's always good. There's also Linux From Scratch if you want to completely build your own OS from the ground up, unlike Gentoo that gives you just enough system in a tarball file to get started. I ditched Winbloze many years ago, haven't looked back. Distrohopped a bit since then, but Debian, FreeBSD, Arch/Artix & Slackware have remained favorites of mine (I'm typing this from Slackware64 15.0 right now)Sooner or later, I'll be messing around with Gentoo or derivatives.

| I dual boot Windows with Ubuntu. Ubuntu became quite good-looking and user-friendly. Also Linux is very useful for backing up data and it is so much easier to make adb work with Linux. |
