Steam OS time

I switched to Mint a year ago. Don't miss a thing.

I've seen a lot of people praising Mint in here. It sounds like that's the distro for me to try first.

Good. The one issue I've had installing it is needing to choose Grub2 instead of Grub for the bootloader. No idea why or what the difference is.

Being a deck owner not over obsessed in the latest tripe A games.

My friend was unable to update to windows 11 due to the TPM requirements and looking to switch to linux. I upgraded my CPU and said they should buy my old one. They finally said OK and asked if I could help them install it before they switched to Linux. I installed the CPU and they never switched to Linux because now they have a CPU that meets the TPM requirements.

Windows users really hate change. Microsoft will force them to update and the users will whine but 1 week later they will be used to it then they will stick on windows 11 till EoL.

Seems not so many.
And if they are ending in 7 month why bother.

My Windows 10 PC's only function at this point is to play FFXIV in my living room, so I'm not super worried about viruses or anything.

But maybe eventually I'll switch to Linux on that box and do that weird set-up to get FFXIV running there.

Anybody tried a steam deck with dock? Gaming and casual desktop should be doable with that.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Steam deck with dock is amazing. I picked up a dock about 6 months ago and have gotten so much use out of it.
