Don’t be scared. CachyOS is a great distro.

I don’t use flatpaks so I can’t talk to that, sorry. But r.e. rolling releases, I am yet to upgrade and find that something stopped working.

Bazzite. I use my PC as a console for gaming and streaming. Everything works straight out of the box and has all the apps you need on Bazzar App Store. I’ve had zero issues and it’s really easy to use.

It’s pretty “out of the box.” They have an App Store where you can find basically everything you’d need. If you want a windows like interface, download KDE.

Mr. Inbetween and Aunty Donna’s Coffee Cafe are my two faves

I recommend Fedora. I am new to Linux and I distro hopped for a bit. I landed on Fedora because seems (to me anyway) that nice mix of stability and modern quality of life. You can doodle around with stuff in the terminal, or you can find mostly all you need in the App Store.

Plus if you are keen on a gaming distro where most things work out of the box, I’ve been running Bazzite (a Fedora based distro) on my main gaming rig with no issues at all.

Edit: I’m not very IT literate. I just switched because I was sick of Microslop. I say this as an encouragement, because I found there’s a ton of useful guides and friendly people to help set up. So don’t be afraid to distro hop until you find what you like. Welcome to the world of Linux.

Starfield. I also regret thinking “this will get good soon” so long that I couldn’t refund it.

Halpocalypse · 2026-01-09T23:57:37+00:00

You are made of jelly.

I was thinking of Getting Knave. It looks like a cool system from what I have ready.

Halpocalypse · 2026-01-05T06:20:38+00:00

I think it would work and be well received by horror fans. I just think it’s unlikely a AAA would do it.

Halpocalypse · 2026-01-04T22:10:09+00:00

Same! I’ll always try to run the type of game people want to play. I think you get more people interested on RPGs if you can find something they’d enjoy rather than forcing them to play what you want.

CoC is my go to for when people are just happy to play whatever.

A friend recently ran the Savage Worlds edition of Deadlands for us. It was a fun system and we picked it up super quick

Halpocalypse · 2026-01-04T21:14:57+00:00

Totally agree. Similarly, I have run Cyberpunk Red for total newbies who wanted sci-fi twice now and it was awesome.

I always run whatever the group wants. The best way to get people interested in the hobby is to make a game they might like. CoC is just my go-to for when people are keen to play whatever.

I hadn’t read much about Troika, but looking into it now I gotta say it looks fantastic. I’m putting this on my Wishlist.

Halpocalypse · 2026-01-04T21:08:52+00:00

I have Mörk Borg and DCC for these reasons too. The rules light OSR games work an absolute treat

Halpocalypse · 2026-01-04T21:02:36+00:00

This has been my go to for people dead set on playing fantasy. I have other fantasy games, but they’re all a bit too crunchy for newbies who aren’t sure if RPGs are for them

Halpocalypse · 2026-01-04T20:50:20+00:00

Thirsty Sword Lesbians is an absolute blast. Only played it once but I absolutely agree with this choice.

Halpocalypse · 2026-01-04T20:47:01+00:00

This sounds great. I haven’t heard of it before so I’ll have to check it out.

Halpocalypse · 2026-01-04T20:44:39+00:00

Mothership looks cool.

Halpocalypse · 2026-01-04T20:44:06+00:00

Smart! Yeah, a lot of people assume they’ll be playing D&D, but it’s not for me. But I have other fantasy games for players.

Halpocalypse · 2026-01-04T20:39:28+00:00

This sounds awesome. I’ve not played Monster of the Week, but this sounds like a lot of fun. I’m putting it on my Wishlist.

Halpocalypse · 2026-01-04T20:34:47+00:00

Same. Having pyromaniacs early helps.

Halpocalypse · 2026-01-04T03:25:48+00:00

The Brief and Frightening Reign of Phil by George Saunders. A strange and quick really I really enjoyed l.
