• Linux vs. Windows for couch-gaming setup?

  Rather soon, I'm going to be moving in with my s/o, and when that happens, I'd like to set up my existing desktop in the living room as a gaming machine. Since it's for going to be mainly for games, I want there to be as little need for mouse/keyboard, or any sort of desktop interaction, which is something that seems like linux could be great for (reading the pinned for this sub, GamerOS seems like it could be nice).

• Xbox Creates Stream Friendly Experience for E3 2021 Restreamers by re-acquiring transmission rights for all songs playing

  Propably not what you would like to here, but you could try something like Gamer OS. Haven't tried it myself so I don't know if it is really 100% usable without a mouse like they promise. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Using Linux Full-Time 2 years later

  Back when I first started to commit myself to "full-time Linux" I experienced stuff that many others had which was Decision Fatigue due to the amount, I mean the AMOUNT of choices of distros that I can use nuts, and I stick to the gamer OS which is Pop!_OS and my experience isn't really nice, especially with the experience of updates that sometimes a bit...outdated, also the software I use is limited that is just... - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

• Cannot Launch ANY Games...........

  Pop_OS uses systemd_boot instead of Grub and requires a 1GB Fat32 partition with the boot flag enabled. Manjaro can still boot Pop_OS. Pop_OS LTS ISO ==> https://pop.system76.com/. Source: 5 months ago

• New to Linux

  You have a mix of older and bleeding edge hardware. Core i7-4790 was release in 2014 thus "older" (not old in my opinion). Your RTX 4060 GPU is bleeding edge hardware. What this means is that your CPU will be supported by a long list of Linux kernel versions. Your GPU might need one of the newer kernels to work properly. System76, makers of the Pop_OS distro, also sell Linux laptops and desktops with RTX 4000... Source: 5 months ago

• Introduction

  My first Linux distro was PopOS and It was a refreshing experience. It was really easy to install, use, and game on. I distro hopped a few times to see what other linux flavors are like. These are the ones that I remember trying Zorin OS and Linux Mint. These ones looked mostly like windows and it was easy to use. At work, I gained most of my linux knowledge from docker and configuring / administrating RHEL... - Source: dev.to / 7 months ago
