Deciding on Linux distro in 2025

Jump

  • I liked Pop OS when it was a modern release, but since they're putting all of their resources into creating their own desktop environment Cosmic, they haven't actually updated their OS significantly since April of 2022.

    I use Manjaro for gaming which is pretty user friendly and Arch based like Steam OS. Gaming on Linux means that you're going to be using the windows gaming emulator Proton, developed by Steam. While Proton works well on pretty much any distribution you'd think to use, I think it works a bit better on Arch distributions because they're of the same family as the OS that Proton was designed for (Steam OS).

    It's also pretty easy to install proprietary Nvidia drivers on Manjaro.

    Either way, you should also install:

    As it is a very easy user interface that allows you to install alternate versions of Proton that may work better.

    You're also going to want to bookmark:

    As that is the backbone of troubleshooting gaming on Linux.

    • Posts claim West Point cadets 'silently revolted' against Trump, refusing to shake his hand. Here's what we know

  • If they forego their "whataboutism" then they'd actually have to stand for something which is against their Weekend Warrior code of honor.

    • what would you do?

  • Sounds like you operated a small business that unfortunately went belly up because of the recent economic turmoil. What were you, CEO?

    • French parliament adopts long-debated bill to legalise assisted dying

    Jump

  • Unfortunately, I don't know that there's a way to make sure the system isn't exploited by an economically motivated government who can use this as on opportunity to get rid of people who have been failed by society.

    In Canada for instance people who are poor, homeless, or have complicated medical issues are more likely to use assisted suicide with some reports of even being coerced into it.

    • Interesting question I really hadn't thought about

    Jump

  • We've been through some rough stuff together. It seems like the least I could do.

    • Which TV show do you watch again and again?

  • Underrated take. The true end of the TNG era of shows.

    • What is the dumbest tattoo you have ever seen?

  • Please tell me that he's gonna be pointing his gun where I think he's going to. As if he's expecting Bugs to pop out.

    • I cheated. Wife forgave me. How to reearn trust?

    Jump

  • Presumably, you cheated because you had issues going on that you at the time felt that the other person could satisfy. You should probably make an effort to go to therapy to show that you are really working on yourself.

    • Trump has lowest 100-day approval rating in 80 years: POLL

  • Why should people trust the Democrats? They lost to this ass clown. /s (but only a little /s)
