Only he kernel modules, not the whole driver like AMD

“Don’t theme my app” is all about distro defaults. No one is arguing against user modifications as long as the users don’t expect any official support for their custom stuff

Sounds more like a Freedombox problem for not supporting one of the best ways to run sevrer software ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They joined that open washing company? ughhhh

Title should have something like “Steam Deck only version” in it IMO.

This is not a general Linux version and will only download on a Steam Deck, not a generic Linux PC, as per my reading of the article

I think there is also

Who play mobile games

So not proper gaming like on console or PC?

Still rocking a GTX 1070 and I plan on using my Graphene OS Pixel 8 Pro till 2030 (only bought it (used ofc) bc my Huawei Mate 20 Pro died on me in October last year 😔)

Back when building my PC, I actually considered getting a 980 Ti. Luckily I did go with the GTX 1070

(they were both similarly priced)

I’ve been on Linux since 2018 (my PC is from 2016) and my next GPUs will always be AMD, unless Intel somehow manages to produce an on par GPU

Hey, it’s not 2026 just yet!

I’m running Linux for everything and my GTX 1070 is still chugging along trying to power my 1440p 144hz monitor ^^’

Well, I mostly just play strategy games and CS2 (which I do have to run on almost the lowest possible settings without FSR. I basically turn everything to lowest except for lowest still AA setting and dynamic shadows to not have a disadvantage and get 110 - 180 fps depending on the situation)

But I’m planning on buying a used Radeon 9070 XT and just inserting it into my current build (i7 6800k based lololol) and on eventually buying a new build around it

(A 750W 80 Plus Platinum PSU should be able to handle a new 970 XT)

gnome terminal and console have hardware acceleration and have had it for a while AFAIK

Every IT-literate person fights kernel-lvl malware disguising as games with everything they got.

Since Linux has a high percentage of those, I hope those “solutions” will never spread

Go on the official Taler Website, they have all the info there iirc

Atomic distros by Universal Blue build proprietary codecs into their images

Maybe Aurora by Universal Blue?

It’s based off of Fedora Silverblue, so it’s atomic, rock solid and basically guaranteed to work (more secure by design as well). But uses KDE Plasma instead of Gnome and has a bunch of improvements here and there, including proprietary codecs and Nvidia drivers preinstalled (latter depending on the image you choose)

The partial unannounced update broke my installation, which is why I finally ditched Nobara for Bluefin

Doesn’t seem like anyone mentioned it yet, so I’m gonna chime in: Bluefin-DX by Universalblue might be worth a look.

It’s a special developer version of their already interesting and rock solid atomic distro, meaning it’s not rly meant that you do much with the OS part of the filesystem (I’d recommend you read up on it, since I can’t explain it that well) It has VSCode preinstalled (you can replace it with VSCodium tho with a simple command IIRC) and allows you to spin up virtually endless Linux environments where you install your additional programmes that aren’t available as a Flatpak (you can still use them in the CLI, DW)

valid, I just feel like Gnome is a rly solid base for me, with one of the most intuitive workflows and consistent designs out there

the ecosystem of apps is just superb too
