This weekend I want to make a point to finally begin the transition to Linux...
Alright, I need to move my main desktop to linux. Help me decide which distribution. Note that I already run a desktop-less server on Debian, a raspi on their flavor of deb and have a laptop I rarely use on fedora (installed it to test the waters, but Mint would probably suit its use case more).
My main desktop PC is on windows and I wanna switch but im not sure which distro to switch to. The thing needs to be gaming ready for 2024 hardware. Debian is too slow to update for such a use case, I dont jive with Ubuntu philosophy, Arch is... im just not that kind of guy... so Im leaning on Fedora but I kinda dont like that it has 100 updates every time I boot it up. Is there any in between? Stable and quick with updates, but not when updates can crash the thing?
Edit: thanks for the recommendations, I'll probably check em all out!
Peppermint is worth checking out. I don't game but Debian and some extra on top. Lightweight
I know you said you're not an Arch kinda guy....but I highly recommend Garuda.
Takes away most of the rough parts of running Arch, and comes in more flavours than you can shake a stick at. The forums are highly active, and Devs/admins/mods are very quick to respond to question/issue posts.
Edit: I've only had one single update related fuckery in the 3ish years I've been running it, and it was through personal error.
Is it necessary though? Microsoft have already been campaigning pretty hard to get people to switch to Linux. Telling people their perfectly good PCs won't work anymore because the operating system is expiring, and they can't even "upgrade" to Windows 11 is a pretty powerful message.
How can I play cracked the last of us on my popOS sytsem?
Lutris should handle that. Its requires some tinkering as it works differently.
It seems it's just a platform that I can run games on, and I need to find a cracked version of the game by myself, right? Do I need to look for a Linux-specific cracked version? Sorry for the dumb questions.
No it's running Windows game on Linux so cracked versions work just as well. Don't ask how I know that..
Oh that's spicy thanks!
Honestly I don't mind 11. It's miles better than 10 ever was IMO. However with that being said, Linux is better. I have to dual boot Windows 11 on my computer because unfortunately there's no way I can use my Elgato Capture Device on a Linux machine.
I downvoted you for not minding Windows 11 🐵
