Xfce user, here to represent!

I love it and haven’t had any trouble. Try it out!

Check out Garuda too, it is specifically designed with gaming in mind.

Non immutable just means that your system isn’t locked down to make sure you don’t accidentally break something. Some people have a strong preference for it one way or another.

As to why it might help, every distro comes with a custom mix of software and tweaks. Bazzite is fedora based while Garuda is Arch based. Some things may work better or worse with less tweaking.

So if you are frustrated enough to consider something else and aren’t committed to an immutable distro, it might be worth experimenting with.

If you want a non immutable distro, I switched to Garuda after Bazzite and it has been great for gaming.

I didn’t get a Bambu printer because of the price or design, I got it because of its “just works” reputation, which it does.

Unless Qidi matches that ease, it isn’t equivalent, and that’s important to mention. Maybe it does?

And yeah, I don’t love the recent changes, but that’s only ideologically. Practically speaking it is still amazing.

I dunno, I use Garuda and it’s an Arch distro. It’s been super user friendly and I’ve only had to learn console stuff when I wanted to mess with stuff most casual users wouldn’t be bothered with.

And maybe you would say, “well that’s not really representative of a normal Arch install” but isn’t that the point of different distros? That anyone can build on functionality to do something like make Arch more user friendly?

I hear you, but what if maybe, I know this is crazy, the government only took from the people but didn’t actually provide any services to them. It could be soooo profitable!

Bazzite was my first and was great and easy. If you don’t like the immutable aspect, check out Garuda.

Bazzite was my first go at Linux. For that it was great. It proved I didn’t have to give up my games if I switched.

Why learn the language of a second world country when you can learn the language of a first world country?

Kidding/not kidding

5th stage of grief… Acceptance.

We know we’re fucked and the government believes it’s role is to wield power, not help people.

We learn who we are and what we want by trying different things. If you aren’t sure about something, try it. And it’s ok to discuss it in advance to set guidelines or expectations if you need to.

The one thing that’s non negotiable is respect. If you invest time in someone you don’t really respect, eventually that time ends up wasted.

If you have trouble trusting, start small. Lay your head on her lap while you watch a movie or something.

None of what you say is wrong, but I will say that though my regular number is on permanent silence and straight to voicemail because of all the spam calls and texts, the Google voice number I have had for years has been largely free of all that BS and continues to work great.

Maybe they are tracking everything I do, but the product DOES work pretty great.

Just puncture a hydraulic line, right?

because all of my coworkers and I keep failing these really hard tests, we aren’t allow to study during downtime on the clock.

Well there’s your answer. It sounds like they are tired of making losing investments.

I think you are getting too caught up in their stating “1995”. Video game graphics had already improved a lot by then. By talking about “pixelated” they probably really mean mid to late 80s technology. Heck, even in 1995 they were still using digital video disks the size of records.

When you compare that to the amount of memory in video game consoles, they had to keep things simple and couldn’t afford to go fill professional digital audio.

I think people may be missing a big factor in their replies. The graphics and audio on video games is digital, but music and video used in the rest of the world had been maturing for quite some time as analog.

Think about a record, you are capturing the vibrations of the noise directly into physical media. Digital requires translating that somehow into a pattern of 1s and 0s, and at the beginning, we just weren’t that good at it and memory chips were just painfully small at that time.

I’m using Garuda with Nvidia and it’s been painless. I do feel like a get a little less performance, but it’s been good enough to keep me happy.

Tabs are a totally different thing with completely different properties than any particular number of spaces.

If you are thinking of tabs in terms of how many spaces they are, you are doing tabs wrong.

A tab is really a jump to a specific measurement that you set. That most word processors have tab stops automatically every half inch has only helped train people to not understand tabs.

I think it’s important to realize that these old stereotypes aren’t necessarily as true as they used to be. I started on Bazzite and it was great, but I didn’t like immutability so I switched to Garuda. It’s an Arch distro and is dead easy and super beginner friendly.
