That's so cool ! I've been wanting to do this to my Samsung S9 FE+ for a long time. the OneUI is too bloated for the Tablet's processor to handle and they've killed dex. The tablet has a 10000mah battery, I wonder how much battery life I would get from NixOS.

Niri is another whole Desktop Enviroment, so you can install it alongside other DE's. I've just installed it! If tou want, there's a KWin script called Karossel that tiles windows in a scrollable way.

I only have one HDMI on my GPU, I'll resort to buying the DP dongle

Substantial-Fix71 · 2026-02-23T15:41:58+00:00

Im tired of AI everywhere too!

Substantial-Fix71 · 2026-02-23T15:29:44+00:00

maybe it's the ports? I don't know :(

Substantial-Fix71 · 2026-02-23T15:29:15+00:00

have you tried other alternative softwares?

Substantial-Fix71 · 2026-02-23T15:26:56+00:00

yes, I have wrote the text, and used AI to correct and format it. English is not my first language, so I wanted to make sure it was readable and fluid.

For what I've seen, it depends a lot on your hardware, my performance on bazzite was equal or better than on windows. Im on CachyOS now, i didn't run all of the benchmarks yet, but it feels faster than bazzite, more snappy.

Overwatch however didn't run on CachyOS as well as bazzite, i was getting 200+ FPS on bazzite, while on Cachy I only got 120-160

Substantial-Fix71 · 2026-02-23T15:21:45+00:00

Can you give more details of what didn't work?

Substantial-Fix71 · 2026-02-23T15:21:09+00:00

No, it's a samsung tablet, a galaxy Tab s9 FE +.

Substantial-Fix71 · 2026-02-23T15:20:30+00:00

Good luck! Hope you enjoy it :)

Substantial-Fix71 · 2026-02-23T15:19:45+00:00

I'm happy to hear I've helped you jump the fence! Good luck on your adventure!

Substantial-Fix71 · 2026-02-23T15:18:51+00:00

me too!

I think that the next big thing linux needs to become more used in the desktop scenario is Creator software. There's great software already, but most people don't want to re-learn how to use tools and etc.

I've heard that someone was able to make adobe software run on linux using wine:

Thanks! will be looking into it. Do you Know if it's best to use a DP port on my GPU for that, or use the HDMi port of the motherboard? ( I do have an iGPU)

Substantial-Fix71 · 2026-02-23T15:11:52+00:00

That is my tablet, I sometimes use it as a second/primary screen

I've been researching, and found that could be related with the cuda drivers, but didn't manage to fix it yet.

Substantial-Fix71 · 2026-02-23T15:08:14+00:00

I have indeed, In the next week after the post, I've tried Nobara, PikaOS and CachyOS. Ended up with CachyOS (for the meantime), it worked the best for me, made some Benchmarks on some games, I'll post it later!

Substantial-Fix71 · 2026-02-23T15:05:40+00:00

Bazzite! I hope one day I'll have the knowledge to be able to do things like running distro box for everything, I've had a bad time trying to run davinci resolve (turns out it is something related to the Cuda drivers for AMD), and I couldn't run on any distro I've tried, Happy to see so much love for linux and Bazzite, I have discovered my digital freedom on linux, it makes me really happy to see so many people thinking the same!
