ffs stop using popos

Put Fedora gnome workstation and be done with it. Heck, put Linux Mint XFCE and I guarantee he wont even need to reinstall the OS unless the hardware breaks

Why shouldn’t we use popos? Just curious…
Show threadmacnielMar 9
Isn’t popos just Ubuntu with more eyecandy?
Show threaddarkmogoolMar 9

Not as i’m aware of it. It’s clearly an Ubuntu branch, but they did other things to it. I don’t an expert 😅

And imo popos is still better than Microslop.

Well that ain’t hard to achieve :)

You can realistically use whatever you want. But if you want a stable out of the box experience, choosing an OS that is in a beta testing phase of a new desktop environment, might lead to a less than optimal experience.

The LTS releases should not have that DE just yet, right?
Show threadKr4u7Mar 9
Yes but he didn’t choose that.
Show threadFizzMar 10
He did grab the lts
Show threadKr4u7Mar 10
You are right. I assumed they wouldn’t test a new DE in an LTS version, but they, in fact, do that.
Show threadFizzMar 10
Yeah I was pretty shocked they were shipping it LTS with no warning or disclaimer

I also don’t get it. How many people realistically only use their desktop PC for gaming and what’s the benefit of using a “gaming” distro if the same can be achieved with minimal amount on a more versatile distro?

I’m not sure if CachyOS counts as a “gaming” distro or not, but I use that on my desktop/work machine. I’m pretty familiar with Arch (BTW) and I can do a manual setup from scratch if I need to (that’s what my laptop runs) but Cachy just seemed like a way to use Arch with a simple setup and a bunch of default optimizations. So tl;dr laziness I guess lol.

Gaming distros are great. They come with preconfigured drivers, controller setups, emulators, gamescope. Kernel patches, latest git for new game compatibility.

There are a lot of tweaks that even experienced users wouldnt think to make and it all adds up to the experience of plugging stuff in and playing games be seemless.
