lordnikon,

Gardiner Bryant I liked him when he was doing Linux News updates and talking about Linux gaming but after he blew up with the LTT Linux challenge.

It’s like his personality shifted and has that I’m being managed vibe and doesn’t hide it very well. I’m glad he found success but he is just not for me anymore.

I just checked back in and I guess he is just a generic gaming handheld reviewer now like we don’t have a million of those.

Switching to Debian on my gaming pc

Hello everyone - I have been wanting to ditch windows on my gaming pc for a while now, and since I have recently finished a large project, I now have the free time to switch. I am relatively comfortable with Debian having used it for a while on my web server as well as school laptop, but I am concerned about using it on my...

lordnikon,

Debian is great for gaming just takes a little work. I run Debian sid and that has its pros and cons but I do it to have super updated packages and to help report bugs. But running stable with a mix of flatpaks and backports works great as well.

Debian is great since it’s just super vanilla packages from upstream for you to make it the way you want it.

lordnikon,

I use KDE but that is out of habit and preference I have used them all and they all have pros and cons. Debian doesn’t customize them at all so there is no Debian specific DE for stable or sid.

It’s all about how they make you feel using them. also the nice thing is you can use gnome apps on kde and kde apps on gnome so unless you super care about theme there is no down side.

Like my favorite scanner app is Document Scanner for gnome and when I’m on gnome my favorite text editor is Kate. Yeah you’re doubling your needed disk space for libraries but disks space is cheap and your going to use up more space with flatpaks anyway.

lordnikon,

I run AMD now but ran Nvidia for years (RIP Evga). I had no issues with ether DE, other than the occasional update breaking things (only an issue with Sid) but that’s what you use timeshift to rollback for when something breaks and apt-listbugs to be aware of issues before you update.

Note you can swap between X11 and Wayland on KDE by just changing the session on login.

The Distro Wars are good actually.?

If all the seemingly pointless discussions about which distro is better comes from attachment to a spesific distro and if a distro is just a way to interract with linux than all the discussion about witch distro is better etc. fundementally comes from a a place of love and appreciation for Linux as an OS....

lordnikon,

I kind of feel that could be said about any product or service. very well put.

I use linux for the same reason I wear fuzzy socks and sweaters

My understanding of the history of fashion is that back in the 1950s America it was expected that you wore a suit/dress at work unless you had a different uniform. There were a bunch of very boring people who thought that we should be wearing office job garb all the time, because they wore suits so much it was their default...

Basically MacOS is high end fashion wear that is only workable on a runway and is outrageously expensive. It’s worn as status not for function. You wear it like the designer thinks it should be worn not how you want it otherwise your wearing it wrong.
