  • Android will soon be able to theme every app icon, and Google Play won't let developers opt out

    Jump

  • All your icons should not be the same two three four colors. It gets harder to distinguish one app from another. It all becomes noise functionally.

  • Bazzite/bluefin so Fedora silverblue 😂

  • Newer 3d games (RE 7 biohazard, Chronos) start stuttering like hell randomly, and my Monitors backlight flickers all the time

  • I will check later. I have two machines on my bench with Bazzite. One with a 7800xt and another with a 2070 super. I usually encounter most issues with Nvidia. Bazzite is usually on the bleeding edge driver.

  • Honestly I'm ecstatic to see more Valve hardware. They're setting the target for hardware for game developers which means a better experience for us all.

    PC Game Developers will know they need to get they're game running on deck (and now FRAME) if they want to hit the maximum size audience. Nvidia currently owns PC gaming but they're not good stewards of the PC gaming ecosystem anymore (nor is Microsoft).

    • I really have no interest in title's that beg me to run buggy builds on a $2000 graphics card that is less than 2 years old to be "playable". (Looking squarely at unreal engine 5 games)

    • I have no interest in GPUs that cost 200% the cost of the rest of the PC.

    I want AMD apus to dominate the space. I want Linux to empower them. I am tired and TBH my next gaming PC is going to end up running Kazeta.org at this rate.

    Thank you for coming to my TEDex talk

  • I've honestly been thinking about doing this myself. I'm so happy right now I can barely be contained!

  • What will MS do when Linux becomes a serious threat to their monopoly ?

    Jump

  • It is (unfortunately) their primary foothold into the market. Microsoft also knows this which is why some many other projects at Microsoft have been killed and absorbed by the Microsoft office team. They have a cannabalistic corporate culture. Its clear that at Microsoft the only threat to Microsoft... Is Microsoft... No one else on the radar registers.

  • They will adapt.

    Embrace, extend, extinguish. They will become Linux.

    In all seriousness, if you look into how windows manages its security now, it leverages virtualization to essentially run windows inside of a hypervisor. At some point in the future, the legacy windows kernel is going to just be another virtual machine running side by side with Linux and the hypervisor will probably run their HyperV tech on top of a Linux (compatible) kernel.

    Then they will say that you need their version of Linux to run specific hardware and software.

  • The writing of this article was not the quality I would have preferred. The infotainment angle really makes it feel like their data can't be trusted. With that being said,

    "as long as you have a distro with an up to date kernel and the latest Mesa drivers your out of box experience won’t vary much at all."

    This is actually a greater challenge for the average user than they think it is. Its also why the universal Blue project exists. Using the OCI container model for the OS, they can easily upgrade and customize the kernel, drivers, and even upgrade to entire new versions of Fedora without batting an eye. This is the main reason I've switched over to Bazzite. The pain of updating is gone. Also, most images have the "-nvidia" version which alleviates the headaches of maintaining your Nvidia drivers.

    Rant: If anything, this article shows that the nuances of the FOSS ecosystem is lost on them because they're afraid of strange elitists imaginary neck beard criticizing them? I understand this is for comedic effect but it feels sophomoric and hacky; like they've missed the point. I would ask them to follow Jorge Castro a bit and understand the work he's doing is specifically to make Linux for everyone else.

    TBH they will be the last publication to come around to it. As Microsoft leaves us all no real choice in the matter, the future of the PC hobbyist is Linux, weather they like it or not so they need to stop complaining and start contributing.

  • I have an Nvidia GPU, can I game on Linux?

    Jump

  • I have an HP z4 G4 running Bazzite-dx-gnomr-nvidia with a RTX 2070 (it does not fit in that case at all) and other than the lack of the functional steam big screen mode that the steam deck enjoys, everything else works extremely well!

  • The answer is Feynman

  • Bazzite has gained nearly 10k users in 3 months while other Fedora Atomic distros remain fairly stagnant

  • I have been using Linux for a long time and it's only been in the post chrome os era that I've really seen updates and maintenance begin to turn the corner.

    A lot of Linux users will tell you their system is perfect but it kinda reminds me of that documentary where all these inventors came to show off their sex robots at a sex robot convention. Its obvious how absurd it is when you're on the outside looking in at a bunch of people who are like "I know she's rough lookin' but just check out this feature".

    ChromeOS was really a first class experience on third rate garbage hardware. It did however really spark the potential for a new paradigm that projects like ChimeraOS, universalBlue, vanillaOS, blendOS, and even steamOS are tackling.

    Ubuntu is a bit "dated" in its design. (For lack of a better description even though they keep trying to re-invent the wheel). There is a reason why everyone is rushing to make Linux usable now and that's namely because it's become valves chosen desktop platform moving forward. Immutable/atomic distributions are set to fix the problems the average user deals with when it comes to Linux.

    I'm actually using bazzite-dx with Nvidia and gnome right now. Its been an overall success with some kinks due to the average jank you get with Nvidia drivers. For instance, Bambu studio flatpak was busted for a week but I just checked tonight and it looks like it's been fixed.

    Its ok to be frustrated about this. You're not alone.There are dozens of us! Dozens!

  • Steam data reveals PC gamers shifting from Windows to Linux

  • Right and I agree. All my recent hardware purchases in the last 3 years have all been AMD.

    I have SOME Nvidia hardware right now and I'm sure other people do too. Unfortunately, AMD is lagging behind in some key scenarios that will hopefully be resolved in the near future. AMD knows this and doesn't compete in the high end currently (outside of Datacenter).

    I do like to think that AMDs apus are the future and the death of the discrete GPU is imminent. I have been looking at things like the 395 AI MAX (poorly named CPU) for some testing but right now it doesn't make sense to hop platforms financially.

  • Steam data reveals PC gamers shifting from Windows to Linux

  • Just my two cents. I personally own a lot of different gaming devices running different platforms. I don't have an allegiance to one particular platform because::I just think they're neat::.

    I don't think I'm unique in this case either. In reality it's always been "use the right tool for the right job" kinda scenarios.

    With that being said, open source platforms have broken into the scene in a big way recently. I built a bd790i/radeon7800xt system a little while back and it has become my primary gaming platform. It runs Bazzite and it's always just ready to go with most (if not all) of my steam games running.

    I basically use windows on machines running Nvidia hardware. Even on my workstation where Nvidia has basically decided their chosen platform is WSL2 and chosen not to embrace the larger Linux ecosystem completely (yet).

    I do have a test box that constantly runs bazzite-dx where I am testing Nvidia compatibility. It's getting REALLY GOOD. however I just had a set back where Bambu studio flatpaks do not render 3d objects anymore. Flatpaks integration with Nvidia is a major pain sometimes as it can break with driver updates. I'm really new to this but fltapak needs the driver as well as the base system and then the flatpacked application needs to support it as well? It seems cumbersome. I don't have this problem with AMD GPUs.
