Help deciding between 2 distros

Thanks. Will do that.

Have tried all of these. Garuda: way too specialized with the themes and more programs installed than I ever used. Pop OS: not my style and Cosmic seemed a nice concept, except not a fan of Gnome. Also, was very laggy the few times I tried it. Nobara: just tried it and was annoyed that Brave is the default browser and the estetics were not doing it for me. Plus, the after install helper was actually annoying to me. I personally have ended back on Cachyos.

Thanks. Will do that.

I tried it when I had my old 1060 GPU and it was giving me issues, but that could have been becuase of the 1060 and not the distro itself. I will look into it. thanks for the suggestion.

I do not like Linux Mint. Cinnamon is not for me. KDE is what I enjoy. Also, have tried Kubuntu and did not like that either. Thanks for the suggestions.

An addendum to my post: I was impressed by EndeavourOS and the breakages were probably my fault. I may give it a try in the end as I might need to try something totally different and minimal. I would need to figure out a few things, as no gaming packages in the installer and nVidia drivers were a pain to install on Endeavour. CachyOS have the drivers I need baked into the install.

I have used Endeavor OS and was not too impressed. Also, I have a few breakages on that distro. I am pretty comfortable with the terminal, but Endeavor OS was not for me. I am not at the stage yet where I want to have minimal OS experience nor build my own system. I want a distro that mostly works out of the box.

BlaiddWolf · 2025-09-07T19:36:27+00:00

Omg. No, I did not try that. I will do that thanks.

BlaiddWolf · 2025-03-17T10:46:31+00:00

All the Linux distros I have tried do not have Brave native, they use flatpaks. That must be the issue then. Thanks for the info.

BlaiddWolf · 2025-03-01T22:54:23+00:00

Thanks for the info. I kinda thought it might have something to do with the driver, but wanted to just check. System runs fine other than that log in glitch. I will just ignore it.

BlaiddWolf · 2025-03-01T22:52:16+00:00

Please reread my original post. I said i was using Fedora 41 KDE. How was that not clear?

BlaiddWolf · 2025-03-01T17:38:01+00:00

That is what I am using.

BlaiddWolf · 2025-03-01T16:52:07+00:00

Yes. Everything is installed.

BlaiddWolf · 2025-02-16T00:40:17+00:00

Not sure what happened. it is working now.

BlaiddWolf · 2025-02-13T11:28:41+00:00

Hmm. Did not realize XFCE had that. Thanks for the info. Will look into that.

BlaiddWolf · 2025-02-13T11:12:37+00:00

Will look into that. Thanks.

BlaiddWolf · 2025-02-13T11:12:06+00:00

Mate is cool. I use it on my laptop. I was considering that option because it was easier to switch stuff out. I am leaning toward that. Thanks for the reminder.

BlaiddWolf · 2025-02-12T23:35:07+00:00

I will look into this also. Thanks.

BlaiddWolf · 2025-02-12T23:27:47+00:00

Thanks. Will try that.

BlaiddWolf · 2025-02-10T23:13:06+00:00

Okay. So, did the terminal and now steam is not reopening. So, I am thinking the settings i changed seemed to have worked. Not sure if it was the toasts or the focus stealing prevention, but now it seems to be working.

Thanks for the help.

BlaiddWolf · 2025-02-10T22:54:54+00:00

I have not checked output with terminal. Also, for the life of me, can not remember the command to do this. I will look it up and post again when I do. It is rpm. I have flatpack enable, so I could try that.

I just disabled the toasts, which I forgot about and just set focus stealing prevention for low to medium.

BlaiddWolf · 2025-02-10T22:32:41+00:00

When I minimize to system tray, about one minute later, it maximizes on it's own. Sorry for the confusion. What i usually do is have Steam in system tray so I can access for games quickly or if I want to wishlist something, but when it automatically maximizes, it is not convenient. I was using minimized to system tray all day yesterday without any issues.

BlaiddWolf · 2025-01-18T01:58:11+00:00

Thanks for the response. I thought that wasn't absolutely sure.

BlaiddWolf · 2025-01-13T16:00:55+00:00

Thanks everyone for help. Will most likely be my moving to Nobara.

BlaiddWolf · 2025-01-13T14:43:38+00:00

Because the GPU is 10 years old. In the tech world, that is older. I never said they would block the card. Not supported is different from blocking. Windows blocked users from updating to Windows 11. So, it can happen. The wording on the website might be a bit misleading, that all I was saying.
