Buddy, I did read it. Allow me to quote in case the OP is too long for you:
I missing any key steps or tips to make the experience even better on a Surface? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
Dude is distro hopping and wants general input. Please fuck off.
It was on topic and made perfect sense. What’s funny is that it was in response to you saying”AXSHHALLY you guys shouldn’t suggest immutable distros” because those don’t count as Windows alternatives for reasons?
If you’re gonna be a prick, at least be correct.
Ahh. You’re just a prick. I get it now.
Hm… immutable distros are alternatives tho?
And did you just downvote me for politely disagreeing?
I think I disagree.
After using Bazzite, if I had to set something up for my mom, it’d be Aurora.
Updates are dead simple and most of what she would use would be flatpaks anyway.
They seem like a rock solid way to get into Linux with a low chance of breaking something.
My favorite theme so yeah, def voting for that.
I really wanted to like it. I’ve used ansible and puppet for work and there, declarative configuration made sense because I need to duplicate the same thing 1000’s of times.
For desktop, it was incredibly annoying to me to have to change my config file every time I wanted to install a new application. I still found myself messing with drivers which I hate on any OS.
My distro choices after Nix were meant to reduce the need to mess with drivers. Zorin and Mint have first-run installers for whatever card it detects (Nvidia for me at the time) which worked well enough.
By that point I had read about immutable distros but wasn’t sure about them just yet. Since I was on a hopping spree I decided I’d try it out.
When the Bazzite install went well and 99% of the applications I wanted to install were flatpaks anyway, it was a perfect fit. I’ve been running docker containers on my Ubuntu server for years so BoxBuddy was a natural fit for things that aren’t flatpaks (minecraft runs great in one). What’s more, KDE has a lot of keyboard combinations the same as Windows by default which made the switch even better for me. One that I had been fighting to add to gnome, which is admittedly small but annoying, the ability to use Meta+period to bring up an emoji selector, was built right into KDE by default?! I couldn’t believe it.
Then, I started looking for an equivalent to FancyZones found in Windows PowerToys and… What do you know, that’s also built into KDE by default?
Then a friend of mine gave me an AMD graphics card he was getting rid of which was an upgrade to my GTX 1060 I’ve been using since 2018. Since I had already moved to Bazzite, it was a simple re-base to move to the AMD version and it went off without a hitch.
It’s all over, Bazzite and KDE are home for me now.
Bazzite has been amazing for me.
I started with the nvidia base which I was getting some flickering on when using Wayland. Switching to x11 at the login screen resolved that for me.
I recently upgraded my GPU with an AMD card this time and re-basing was super easy. Didn’t have to reinstall any apps or mess with drivers.
This year I stopped using Windows 10. I started on NixOS, then tried Zorin, Mint, and now Bazzite. This one is it.
This also happens to be my first foray into KDE and my god I’m liking it so much better than gnome or cinnamon.
I just switched it to x11 and it was fine.
I recently picked up an AMD GPU so I re-based to the regular one which was amazingly easy.
Oh sorry. “Just kill anyone else rather than yourself. That’s a good idea.”
Cool…
“Hey all I said was that’s a good idea”. Tha fuck?
“Just kill anyone else”. Man, STFU.
I wouldn’t call this journalism. It’s a jailbreak/hacking project centered around the r1. This is just an article they posted.
I know all of the above because I was capable enough to navigate to their home page and … read it.
Grow up.
lol knock it off with the helplessness.
Open another tab and do one single search. 3 mins? Lol.
Search engines haven’t gotten that bad, have they?
I want to switch very badly but their device apps are lacking.
If it’s vegan (is fetal bovine serum still an input?) then yes.
Any vegan who says no is saying so for some other reason besides veganism (ick factor, no desire, environmental considerations).
If your knee-jerk reaction to this is to downvote because “what kind of vegan eats meat?” - consider why you went vegan. Was it for the animals? Well, if lab meat allows us to produce meat without animal suffering then it’s vegan…
I hope this is sarcastic.
Is MS supposed to support everything in perpetuity?
Ok I don’t actually know if you’re just joking or neurodivergent so as not to not pick up on the sarcasm.
OP can do whatever the fuck they want on their device. The worst thing that can happen if they don’t like the suggestion is to close the single extra tab they opened on their browser to read about it.
But thank Christ you were here to save him from that catastrophe.
