  • Dumbest Thing you have done distro-hopping?

    Jump

  • Damn. I am sorry for that loss. I agree, I am always boggled every time I use the Fedora installer. I don't know how I clicked the wrong disk. I didn't read close enough, or I don't know.

    I hope the new things you make are better than what was wiped.

  • Good tip! I... would maybe have realized that would worsen the situation.

  • I guess I can try it, since I did not like, wipe everything.

  • Hah, I don't think I illustrated how dumb I am. I deleted the partitions already.

  • I am really keen on Lutris. Nothing beats it for downloading GOG games, not even the galaxy launcher.

  • Okay, fleek is looking like everything I need to be happy. Learning about devbox made me excited too.

    Damn, I am about ready to start doing some actual work, hah. Get back to programming actually start making things.

    No, Silverblue + distrobox is enough for me. Fleek will probably help solve some of my package edge cases I have been struggling to resolve.

    Computing is fun.

    What in your opinion is the worst Linux Distribution ever made?

    Jump

  • I may have remembered the details incorrectly!

    Was it the name they were trying to preserve? I guess that is a trifle also.

  • Perhaps Solus. Not because it is bad per se, I have not touched it in years, but more as an example of glorifying a distro because of the contribution of a single person, which almost imploded when the main contributor could not continue working on it.

    Same wirh Void, where it almost got lost because the dude with the github access disappeared.

    Slackware is cool, but it will be a sad day when they guy behind it stops working on it.

    Or maybe I am bugging. They are all doing fine. Open source doesn't allow for catestrophic demise on good ideas.

  • I super appreciate all of the tips! I thought I was good installing Bazzite with a fresh install using an ISO, made sure to pick the NVIDIA option... it just failed to load the drivers, and showed a gray screen switching to open drivers. I know what I am not buying when I uprade in like 5 years.

    That usb become necessary.

    Anyways, before falling unconsious (finally going to sleep... and waking up early damn) I played with NixOS in a VM. I have sooooo much to learn... so I think I will just install the package manager, and gorge on the cake I get to keep.

  • You may be happy, or perhaps dismayed, to learn that I finally installed Bazzite on my desktop.

    I did a bit tonne of sampling, with BlendOS and Vanilla, trying things out, but Fedora wins.

    I have Fedora Silverblue on a usb in case Bazzite does not like my computer, but I think I have done enough hopping for a lifetime.

    I swear I will just jump onto the NIXOS (or guix) bandwagon if I ever decide to switch again.

  • Not yet! I was surprised that home directory is shared across containers, but it makes sense when the system is the problem, not the files in home. Still, it is nifty to keep certain environments separated.

  • Thank you for your feedback! I am learning a lot. This is the first time I have run into issues where I was not tempted to abandon ship and go back to what works. I actually care about this system and want it to succeed. I think this is a super cool path forward.

    The only other time I felt this interested in a new paradigm of linux was GoboLinux with its compartmentalized installation of programs, so you can have every version you need, but I got confused with the recipe system and I don't know if it is still active.

    One problem I had is that I was trying to download an image for linux mint, because it gives me access to PPAs without needing to use SNAP due to Ubuntu, but I could not get an image to download, no matter what combination of linux + mint + version I used. I finally realized I could search podman, now I can go forward!

  • I think I am using Wayland since that is the default.

    Also, I once made the mistake of running on DX11, which was worse.

  • Also, what is nice about this somewhat failed experiment is that it was easy to just rm the container and everything went with it.

    Yeah, I am not going back to regular linux.

  • So it turns out, I cannot use my NVIDIA card using distrobox. I guess it only works with AMD?

    Anyways, gaming using Bazzite is a dead end for me. I still find Fedora Silverblue super fun to use, and I think I will just run Steam + Lutris using Flatpaks. I was wondering if distrobox would somehow allow better performance, but I don't understand the technology well enough to even make those presumption. I see that this image is used a lot on Steam Deck, which I also don't understand why (as opposed to having everything native).

    Anyways, I can still game well on Silverblue. Baldur's Gate 3 runs okay. So, that means I am fine, hah!

    The only gripe I have, which is just my stupidity, is that I have way of using Mozilla VPN. I tried to run it on an Ubuntu container, but I must be doing something wrong because it does not launch. Maybe I need to look into podman more closely, or maybe I am missing some graphical dependencies that is assumed to exist on a DE. I shall keep trying.

  • Honestly, it is making my like using linux more. Flatpak made not having the app I wanted available and up to date, distrobox allows me to use a distro that has it up to date natively. Nothing is more dope than that. Except nature? But for computing, I adore it.

  • That would be so fun I am buzzing with excitement. I am not talking facetiously either. I am out in the cold as I type this, happy and quivering.

    I cannot wait to get home and try it out!

  • Fedora Linux 39 Released As A Wonderful Upgrade For Leading Workstations & Servers

  • Oh nice! I will do that. I see this as save scumming for real life!

    Speaking of, save scumming is a habit I need to rid myself of. I need to allow myself to fail in Baldur's Gate and other games.
