![]() ![]() If you don't know what to go for, just use this one. This is by far the most popular one and at the time of writing this article it's the one I am currently using. If you're someone who is new to Linux, how do you pick a distribution? This article will attempt to explain some options that I've used and would recommend. The novelty of having a new-looking system is cool, but having to set everything up again is incredibly annoying. I was doing this a lot in December last year and I can tell you from first-hand experience how much of a pain it is. When you start out with Linux, you have to pick a "Distribution" which determines what desktop environment, package manager, repositories, software, login screen, even bootloader that you will use out of the box (if you don't know what those terms mean, just think of it as how your system looks and functions).ĭistro-hopping is the practise of switching from one Linux Distribution to another repeatedly in order to find the "perfect" distribution.

Only time will tell again if anyone wants to rally the troops under a single banner. ![]() They even convinced EAC to support Linux because of it. They're going to try once more at the start of the year with the Deck and SteamOS 3.0. Steam has tried once before with SteamOS. Until someone in the community wants to take the lead, it's never going to happen. Because of that it's been the market leading smartphone OS for several years now. Love it or hate it, it's been developed with a clear goal on form and function. Perfect example of how Linux can succeed is Android. Linus and Carmack have both commented in the past about the need for the community to standardize, or at least choose a direction in which to develop. Every time someone finally makes an effort to create a standard, someone forks it and further dilutes the pool. Unfortunately it's not the lack of capable kernel but the lack of conformity in building a comparable OS around it. There is NO REASON why games cannot or should not work on Linux. and before anyone says anything about the intrinsic nature of games on Linux: you're wrong. Like wtf is it going to take? How much effort? How much screaming into the void must we do to get Linux gaming dragged into the 21st ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ century.

The new SteamOS is being actively developed and the client STILL sucks ♥♥♥♥ on Arch. The only game I can play is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Portal AND THE ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ RADIAL CONTROL INVERSION DOESN'T WORK!!! All of this tinkering I don't mind doing, but I want to see an outcome. ♥♥♥♥ anyone who says gaming on Linux is not a complete an utter waste of time and energy. It has taken me 3 days to get an AMD card working (RX 6600), then it took another two to get an Xbox One controller working over bluetooth. It doesn't seem to support any major games on Linux, at the very least not over Steam Play. In the past few years I've heard about all these great improvements, proton et al. I've used Arch Linux for nearly ten years now, I'm no slouch. There is nothing anyone can say to convince me otherwise, I just came here to rant. ![]()
