  • I really started to dislike Windows and projects like Bazzite made it incredibly easy to make the jump. The wife is now gaming in Linux for the same reasons.

    Google is discontinuing the Chromecast line
  • Dunno. I've come to rely on the "cast" functionality from my Android, but finding a FOSS client with even similar functionality is proving difficult.

    Chromecast will continue to work, until it doesn't. I'll use that time to test some options and see where I land.

    People doing the 30 days linux Challenge are having several problems because of Mint's old packages and technology. Why people still recommend it when there is Fedora and Opensuse with KDE and Gnome?
  • Fedora (including Silverblue/Kionite) is hard to recommend as a first distro though. It's an excellent platform when you know your end goal and how to get there, while providing "leading-edge" packages that's great for gaming.

    But a project like Bazzite? Phenomenal new user experience for gaming and a very easy recommend.

    I'm going to reinstall linux on my computer. What is it like to run something Silverblue based these days ?
  • +1 for Bazzite. I stopped hopping around when I tried it with Fedora 38, been using it since.

    I've had one problem related to kernel 6.9.x affecting Steam game stability on my old hardware ( i5 2500k). Newer systems have BIOS settings that mitigate the issue. It's not a Bazzite specific problem. However, I was able to roll back and pin a previous image that uses kernel 6.8.x. Will unpin and update once I see a fix deployed.

    Microsoft to test “new features and more” for aging, stubbornly popular Windows 10
  • Stubborn? Windows 11 does not support my older hardware. With no other reason to upgrade, I'm not dropping that kind of cash just for Windows 11.

    Regardless, I fully migrated to Linux last year.

    Describe the bug After the latest update and reboot, I found that every game on Steam using "gamemoderun %command%" ceased to work. When I look into it further in the terminal using gamemoded -t th...

    This is just a heads up for anyone running Bazzite Desktop and using gamemoderun %command% to launch games. Took a bit to figure out why my games were no longer launching. 😅

    >It's inclusion was an oversight that affected only desktop images. Feral gamemode is completely replaced by the existence of System76 scheduler and joystickawake, both of which require no manual setup on the part of the end user. > >You can simply remove that from your launch options.
