I can hear both of these quotes so clearly. I’m sad about what Blizzard has become.

EndeavorOS might also be a good option, from what I’ve heard. It’s Arch based, but easier to install and use. I recently switched to Garuda, also Arch based, but focused more on the gaming community.

I did select a number of programs to install during setup so I had everything I needed. Spot on!

That’s really cool! Didn’t know that. Thanks for sharing, since I’ve just subscribed to the community.

Sorry about that. I’ll keep that in mind if this gets taken down. Thanks!

I’ve been using those on my Fedora install without a hitch. I think I’m gonna go for the Garuda install today after I finish backing things up. Excited!

Woah, you were involved in the project! That’s really cool. I’ve had Garuda on my mind for a while, and earlier today I was able to boot it off the live USB with NVIDIA proprietary drivers. That’s a really good sign for me, so I think I’m gonna go for it once I’ve backed things up.

I have an ASUS ROG laptop running Fedora 39 right now. The reason Fedora is popular with these laptops is that the controller that switches between the two graphics cards is native to Fedora. It’s explicitly recommended on the site.

EDIT: It looks like there are more distros that work on ROG laptops since I did it. Pretty cool!

I prefer this version.

Bee running Fedora for months. Love it on my gaming laptop.

Sonic and Knuckles is one of the best games out there because of the cartridge slot on top. Playing Sonic 2 as Knuckles was so much fun.

I’ve been running Fedora 39 on my ASUS gaming laptop because it’s the only OS that natively supports the utility to deal with the discreet graphics card. I was thinking about using bazzite for the next gaming desktop I build. What do you think about it? I’ve been using Nobara on my Surface Pro 4, but I can’t update using dnf anymore because it would alter some protected drivers, and I don’t want that issue with another distro.

Celeste is a wonderfully brutal game. I love the characters and the whole idea behind, “conquer a hard thing just to say I did it.” To be fair, that is what it feels like when climbing mountains or other large rock structures

Plants vs Zombies is the best tower defense game out there. Y’all can fight me on that.

Yes! I wholeheartedly agree with you. There are pieces of GNOME I wish I could bring into KDE, and vice versa.

I’ve been running Nobara on my Surface Pro 4, which is based on Fedora. It comes with all the surface drivers built in, which really helps. It’s been working pretty well for me.

Sleek is a great way to describe GNOME. It’s really pretty and slick, and I was sure happy with how it worked. Plus, with all my google accounts hooked into GNOME, Evolution just pulled all that info and gave me real easy access to my mail. I wish KMail did the same thing.

That’s why I’m calling it a playground fight. They’re both good, but right now I’m loving KDE. GNOME is really beautiful. I organized the taskbar in KDE to be similar to default GNOME, but with some extra stuff that I’m digging too.

I hear you there. I like the workflow of GNOME, and I wish I could make the app launcher in KDE be as minimalist as the GNOME launcher in ArcMenus. But at the same time, a number of things I was using the launcher for can be done as a keystroke in KDE, so it kinda makes up for it.

I do agree that GNOME is really beautiful. I spent time making the taskbar more like GNOME before commiting to using KDE.

Sailor moon, you ain’t got no hands!
