SFaulken , in Is Nobara tied in with all the Redhat Drama?
@SFaulken@kbin.social avatar

No, nothing RedHat is doing affects Nobara. Nobara is based on Fedora, which is upstream of RedHat. Nothing is changing.

I heard the guy working on Nobara works at Redhat tho. Idk what this means but if It doesn't mean anything for Fedora then it should be fine right?

I have no idea who signs his paychecks, but no, none of the announcement about the RHEL Sources affects Fedora in any way, unless Nobara is pulling sources from RHEL (which it isn't) this doesn't affect it at all. Nobara isn't an official Fedora, or RedHat product or project.

Oracle: Hey RedHat, there's only enough space for one open-source-crippling company, and it's already occupied by us!

Too bad that sub didn’t have a seat for Larry.

Oracle, the hero we deserve, but not the one we need.

ryannathans OP ,

less “on the same team”, more “interests temporarily aligned”

I mean...Steam OS on Steam Deck...and probably on PC when they release that. If you mean on PC now, Kubuntu. Because I like KDE and Ubuntu is well-supported.

Using Linux Mint Cinnamon for most things currently, gaming included. I've been dabbling with the gnome DE so I can use Wayland, and it's been nice. However, I'm not as big of the DE and don't have time to tweak things to my preferences so I use it sparingly.

I installed Garuda on my main desktop PC and have been absolutely loving it. I'm not a linux expert, this is the first time I've dived in with my main pc on linux only (but I have been "trying" linux every so often for as long as I can remember basically). It is amazing how far Linux has come in just the last few years. It is very close to what I would consider a full replacement mainstream OS. I am on a fully AMD system though, so I can't speak for nvidia issues (but honestly I've been sick of them even under windows for a few years now...).

Arch linux, minimal install. Feels really nice to have control over my whole distro and to not be clogged by third-party annoyances.

Carter , in This again: What distro are you using for gaming?

I used Arch for a while but am currently back on Windows unfortunately.

technologicalcaveman , in This again: What distro are you using for gaming?

Been using arch, don't have issues. Sometimes it doesn't play nice with dwm, but if I switch to xfce then games run without issue. My current computer has an nvidia gpu, next one will be entirely amd based.

8565 ,

Do you have issues? I run a 12th gen I7 and a 2070 Super and everything just works

technologicalcaveman ,

Not really. If I do it's usually because of my weak components. Dwm causes issues sometimes but it's just cause whatever I'm playing doesn't know what to do with a tiling window.

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, YaST is the deity I pray to

Montagge , in This again: What distro are you using for gaming?
@Montagge@kbin.social avatar

Ubuntu 20.04lts
Probably going to update to 22.04lts soon

I do use kisak-mesa ppa to use an up to date mesa driver. Pretty much the only thing I've had to do for gaming.

@jakwithoutac CachyOS, cos it supported RDNA3 on launch. It's since been easily the best I've ever used

Honestly, I wouldn't make any specific recommendation. Because when you do, you instantly become most peoples personal support technician, when they can't sort something out.

I'd probably make the general suggestions of Fedora/Silverblue/Kinoite, openSUSE Tumbleweed/Aeon/Kalpa, and maybe Pop!_OS if somebody put a gun to my head. But no recommendations.
