flashgnash,

Debian based, arch based, rhel based are all somewhat different and have different package managers (with flatpak, appimage and snap that might be less important nowadays though)

Nobara comes with all the stuff for gaming, not everyone who uses Linux knows exactly what they need to install themselves

NixOS is fantastic and drastically different from all the others

NixOS, silverblue, vanilla are all immutable which makes a massive difference

Also not everyone wants to install their own DE, so if they want something like cinnamon, pantheon, KDE they need a distro that comes with it preinstalled

flashgnash,

I look at mine like they’re toys lol

flashgnash,

Fortunately my laptop only has nvmes built in, so 99% of the time all 3am me has to do is not type nvme and I’m good

flashgnash,

NixOS. You can change DE by editing a couple lines in your config, running sudo nixos-rebuild boot and rebooting

flashgnash,

Yes it is an absolute luxury to use

Have to use Ubuntu for work servers and apt is such a faff to work with compared to nix

flashgnash,

Problem is companies don’t care about making their games efficient, they care about keeping production costs down

As long as it’s efficient enough to run on medium settings on the average consumer’s machine they won’t put any more resources towards improving it

Optimising them requires expensive developer time that probably won’t affect their sales proportionally (realistically do most people really not buy games just because they can’t run them on max settings?) And they’ve already got the eye candy for their trailers that consumers can technically achieve so they don’t bother
