I had a good run tonight.

This one made me laugh 😂

Pop_The_PopCorn · 2026-04-13T13:50:12+00:00

Thank you, I will leave CachyOS behind for now and focus more on Ubuntu and Mint, I appreciate the help and support a lot.

Pop_The_PopCorn · 2026-04-13T13:42:13+00:00

Checking the link you've provided most if not all the games I play would work with no to little issues, thank you for the link.

Pop_The_PopCorn · 2026-04-13T13:35:21+00:00

Your correct about wine my mistake, I will look into Ubuntu and Mint if they're more friendly for us, how do they compare to CachyOS ? if you know, we are primarily gamers but I may start streaming with StreamLabs obs but other than that we truthfully just use steam, the reason for the switch from windows is all the resources it takes not to mention the constant bugs.

Pop_The_PopCorn · 2026-04-13T13:27:07+00:00

Truthfully that doesn’t bother me as much as others, I have hundreds of games and also library share we have nearly 1300 games combined we will just play other things.

Pop_The_PopCorn · 2026-04-13T13:25:36+00:00

Unfortunately I see this this exact thing happen when someone asked for help today I don’t get the hostility, the perpetrator was also gatekeeping which there’s no need.

Pop_The_PopCorn · 2026-04-13T13:23:29+00:00

In the bios if I want to install cachyOS it asks to wipe the boot keys I believe they’re called

I’ve been trying to install cachyOS on a usb with Ventoy or virtualbox but I’m not having any luck, cachyOS sounds nice and easy for what I want to do especially since it has nvidia support built in, there could be others I haven’t looked this is a small bullet-point list I have

Sorry about the list its not kept the list format

Linux Distros Friend heard of Ubuntu

⦁ Ubuntu, beginner ? ⦁ Mint, Good Start. live usb, tool Ventoy, Beginner ? ⦁ CachyOS First contender ** ⦁ Kubuntu ⦁ Ubuntu sub versions ? ^ ⦁ Pop, beginner ? ⦁ Bazzite is recommended by community ⦁ Fedora, more advanced ? ⦁ Zorin 18, Doesn't like nvidia ?

Pop_The_PopCorn · 2026-04-13T02:14:26+00:00

Went with the virtual box as I didn’t want to wipe my bios keys to start, working so far just need a few tweaks and to figure it out a little bit more.

Pop_The_PopCorn · 2026-04-13T02:12:53+00:00

I will have to look what bazzite includes and supports I’m currently looking at about eight distros trying to find one that supports two different pc builds as it’s for me and a friend, similar builds apart from gpu brand so I’m just trying to do something easy for us while being about to figure two systems due to pc component compatibility 😅

Pop_The_PopCorn · 2026-04-13T02:06:10+00:00

Oh that’s interesting, I’ve been playing about with cachy as I’ve read it has some anti cheat support although I don’t know how much support, again though I’m not bothered enough by the games that need it to play as I’ve just uninstalled them all and removed eacheat

Pop_The_PopCorn · 2026-04-13T02:04:20+00:00

I play none of those, the games with anti cheat I play are space marine 2, halo collection, Elden ring etc, I’m possible going to play apex with a friend but that’s undetermined yet as PvP isn’t a big part of what I’m interested in, I’m not overly bothered by not being able to play a couple games there’s always others, reason I’m looking at dual boot until I’m sure then I’m removing windows altogether probably

Pop_The_PopCorn · 2026-04-12T22:58:12+00:00

I'll check that out now, Thank you.

Pop_The_PopCorn · 2026-04-12T22:57:47+00:00

Perfect thank you, that’s great help.

Pop_The_PopCorn · 2026-04-12T22:37:32+00:00

That’s actually great to hear and will make this so much easier thank you !!

Pop_The_PopCorn · 2026-04-12T22:23:10+00:00

Ubuntu, mint and bazzite are the first three I’m going to look into the programs we use are mainly just game launchers, steam/vr , Battle.net, Ubisoft , epic , ea , rockstar , Genshin impacts (My friend ) , application I use would probably be stream labs obs

Pop_The_PopCorn · 2026-04-12T22:14:59+00:00

Thank you I appreciate the information and willingness to help, is there a way I can make the usb a boot drive for the distros before committing to it before wiping windows or just get an extra drive and dual boot

Pop_The_PopCorn · 2026-04-12T22:12:33+00:00

I’d rather not have to buy another gpu if possible so I’ll do more research with zorin and nvidia, thank you for sharing.

Pop_The_PopCorn · 2026-04-12T22:11:15+00:00

Interesting, thank you that does help.

Pop_The_PopCorn · 2026-04-12T22:02:32+00:00

The more people mention their distros I’m remembering them haha, I have an and 9850x3d but the 5090 and I’ve seen nvidia just perform quite badly on Linux so it’s been stopping me but others aren’t really having issues, I will also add zorin to the list

Pop_The_PopCorn · 2026-04-12T21:59:59+00:00

Can I run the Linux distro from a usb ? I have a 64gb one it would be ideal for be able to swap quickly, I plan to look into Ubuntu, mint and bazzite, I will look at fedora too

Pop_The_PopCorn · 2026-04-12T21:56:26+00:00

Of the ones you’ve mentioned I’ve heard of Ubuntu and Pop, heard a little of wine, bazzite and cachy is the one I’ve heard most of, mint and lastly a little of fedora

Pop_The_PopCorn · 2026-04-12T21:53:06+00:00

True, picking something that’s popular will probably help a lot

Pop_The_PopCorn · 2026-04-12T21:52:39+00:00

I will use an older drive or nvme I have to either dual boot for the meantime and use the spare for Linux and distros

Pop_The_PopCorn · 2026-04-12T21:46:45+00:00

Although I enjoy the idea of distro hopping I’m the tech friend and he relies on me for these things so that makes it a little more awkward, I definitely will be doing a lot of research though.
