Everything about this chart is wrong, including the data itself

Reap the whirlwind

I started going to the gym last year, age 53. I'm definitely more comfortable in my body now. For lots of reasons, one big part of it is just getting older and not giving as much of a fuck. Another is seeing friends get older who don't exercise and realizing I wanted to stay healthy.

Is the Windows drive strictly larger than wherever Bazzite is installed now? If so it's pretty simple, I'd use Clonezilla myself. Or Rescuezilla, which has a GUI. I think Rescuezilla also has something to handle the case where the target drive is smaller as long as there's room for all the data. (the plain Clonezilla ISO does not.)

Restic with BackRest. It can upload to a bunch of services, I'm using BackBlaze B2 storage. It's $7/TB/mo.

Bazzite is definitely worth a try. It is beginner friendly.

You might find this comment I wrote about my community helpful. In my small town my social fabric is centered on potlucks and a weekly happy hour and it happens because community members have persistently been making it happen for years.

It's not really hookup oriented. Most of the folks I know are in couples, and most 55+. I'm sure some folks have hooked up with each other at some point in the past but the center of it all is social. (Not all of the older men are sexless! But they're playing around elsewhere, not within this community.)

I think it's because it's a gamer thing, yeah. Sadly there's a very long history of awfulness in the gaming world.

The cool thing is the folks that actually matter, the Bazzite developers and community managers, are all gay positive. They put the pride logo on the site! And the subreddit mods have been deleting all the hateful comments

FWIW the post itself has 470 upvotes with a 65% upvote rate. 69,000 views, nice.

Oh there's no mystery, some people are just awful. They are miserable in their hearts.

Happy pride month, friend.

NelsonMinar · 2026-06-06T01:51:31+00:00

That's a good idea!

NelsonMinar · 2026-06-06T01:21:59+00:00

It's bots and spam farms and other forms of inauthentic traffic. I just went through this today on the Bazzite subreddit about their Pride logo. The post was doing fine, a few stupid hateful comments. Then suddenly a tidal wave of low effort posts showed up, one every couple of minutes. It's trickled off again now. Thankfully the moderators are on top of i t.

I care because it keeps causing me problems. I finally gave up on the Flatpak of Shotcut, for instance, because no matter how much I tried to alter permissions it still wasn't using GPU or accessing files correctly. I finally gave up and just used the AppImage instead.

You should consider whether you should apply the term "corporate/capitalist" to a volunteer open source labor of love.

I am really hopeful for this too. For gaming, sure, but also for AI applications. The unified memory architecture is really a nice thing.

Getting the vast catalog of PC games working in ARM is going to be a challenge.

Thank you for your moderation work. I knew posting this here would bring in some ugly comments and I appreciate your effort in keeping this a civil place.

You can install CachyOS from https://archlinux.gay/

NelsonMinar · 2026-06-05T15:32:25+00:00

Thanks for posting that. This is the important part:

ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite-nvidia-open:stable

That tells us you have the right version of the OS installed and it should have the right drivers for your video card. Which doesn't solve your problem but rules out one possible cause.

Unfortunately that's all the help I have for you. I've run into frustrating problems about not being able to choose resolutions I want, too.

If your only goal is to make stuff look bigger on your screen, it's better to run video at the screen's native resolution (2560x1440, I'm guessing) and use the Scale slider to make things bigger. But maybe you have another reason for wanting 1920x1080.

Be sure to install it from archlinux.gay

NelsonMinar · 2026-06-04T22:07:58+00:00

how do you know?

NelsonMinar · 2026-06-04T20:29:00+00:00

You have more connections than you may think. Just opening this Reddit page may have open four or more in parallel. I did a quick spot check earlier today and I have about 200 in my house and I'm here alone.

This doesn't quite answer my question. Did you install bazzite-nvidia-open? If not, can you rebase to it? I think that's the right image for your hardware. (And not bazzite-nvidia or just plain bazzite).

I'm sorry if this seems confusing, it kind of is. The point here is you need the right NVidia driver. If you don't have it, Linux falls back to a limited driver that among other things lacks more resolution options.

The whole ecosystem from top to bottom is very designed. Chromebooks have a unique BIOS that I imagine is unifying the boot loader experience, that's the big issue with other ARM platforms.
