A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I don't really like Windows but it's for my gaming PC. My laptop does run linux. I don't know much of anything about 11 and whether it's better or not.

Depending on the game tinkering may not be needed. With proton most of my games except like dead by daylight it was install and press play

Dead by Daylight is actually running now on linux after the devs chose to unblock linux in EAC.

Oh yeah absolutely the only tinkering I've really needed to do is make sure I installed steam properly (NixOS) and a little bit of jiggery pokery for battle.net games (though battle.net is actually really good, you just give it a path to the game files and away you go)

Thankfull y I don't have to stress with tinkering on mint but I get the advantages nixos has

[–] flashgnash@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Never tried mint but weirdly enough NixOS has been the easiest distro for me so far, haven't run into any weird bugs in drivers or my touchpad not working after hibernation etc like I have in Ubuntu based distros

(Other than the bugs I caused myself that is)

One of the many reasons I use mint is it does things better significantly than Ubuntu based distros
