  • I would recommend what looks most promising/fun to you.

    personally I am staying with the “big ones”. on my gaming pc I have installed fedora with kde. on my notebook(with touchscreen) I am trying Debian with gnome and eventually arch when I am clear on how I want my system to be exactly

    for work and network stuff I use debian with kde.

    If you are unsure I’d recommend either debian or fedora with kde. Ubuntu isn’t really something for me because snap is really annoying (apt installs sometimes default to snap but don’t tell you outright)



  • I have noticed a weird issue. Maybe I am just dumb but every time I press and hold the steam button the screen goes black and stays like this until I force a restart. If I press and hold the steam button during the black screen phase, i get a glimpse of the shortcut menu. as soon as i let go of the button or use other inputs (b Button for example) the screen goes black again even if I am holding down the steam button.

    Is anyone else having this issue, too?


  • which is ok. the cool thing about switching to linux is that you don’t have to take risks(e.g. buy an expensive os/hardware) so you can try it out, switch back, wait a bit and try again. I did that and last year was the year of the linux Desktop for me (also thanks to the steam deck)


  • Cpu: Ryzen 5800X3D

    RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR4 32 GB

    GPU: Palit RTX 3080ti

    PSU: BeQuiet 800w

    Storage: 2x Samsung 980 nvme 1tb

    Filesystem: btrfs 2tb span across the two drives

    OS: Fedora 38 with kde plasma

    Am really happy with it thus far. unfortunately I bought the GPU before making the switch to Linux. Otherwise I would have bought a rx6800 or something similar



  • Dark souls saves very often. you can’t really save scum. if you die, you die. if you fall from a cliff and you quit out before the “you died” shows, you are on the last stable ground and alive. if you quit out during a boss battle you will load in before the boss fog but if you used estus or items they will not be restored. enemies will reset their position if you load in but stay dead if you already killed them. this is true for every platform and every soulslike game made by from soft . if your game crashes you will load in a few seconds before the crash.

    but you also cannot really pause the game. your only reliable glitchless way of “pausing” is quitting out



  • Here are my go tos if I want to just let my mind wander and not think about what i do:

    bullet hells

    • vampire survivors
    • brotato
    • soulstone survivors
    • 20 minutes till dawn
    • bounty of one

    emulated:

    • pokemon leaf green/fire red
    • zelda BOTW (small chunks possible. Do one shrine, explore a bit. Search for some koroks.) runs beautifully on yuzu

    RPG:

    • Dark souls 1 Remastered(Because the game practically saves every second or two you are not in any way committed to play a long time)
