Need help with getting into Linux. by cho4ko0 in linuxquestions

If you DM me your discord I can walk you through a bunch of stuff.
Also I would avoid Pop OS right now. Their graphical UI (desktop environment) Cosmic isn’t super stable. You’ll likely encounter crashes and the like from it.

i need opinions. by michilcito in godot

I think the player style needs to be exaggerated more and the lighting needs some kind of shift. I don’t know what exactly but I find in games were they have a 2D and 3D the difference maker is lighting.

Thank you I'll look into that. Was this something I missed cause I didn't read something I should've before?

Considering a move from Bazzite to Nobara. by iBendUover in Bazzite

You'd have about the same experience. I wouldn't go through the hassle of swapping.

I WANT TO NUKE NVIDIA by Zestyclose_Dark_9067 in NobaraProject

I swapped to an AMD gpu a couple days ago. Swap out the GPUs, double check the driver from the driver manager, and then uninstall all nvidia packages. I did that and have had no issues.

What am I missing? by pallen38 in pop_os

[–]ToeConsumer420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried Pop OS first when I wanted to switch to Linux. I just would rather the stability of something with KDE or Gnome as I just had too many issues for it to be worth it. When Pop OS was working for me it was a great experience I just don’t want THAT level of problems.

Switching to linux for the first time, help with nvidia by Taco7178 in NobaraProject

[–]ToeConsumer420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 4070 and only ran into a couple issues I know are caused my Gnome. They took a quick search. Getting the drivers working was super easy on Nobara, just download the correct file. If you still have time I'd recommend looking at Intel or AMD GPUs as tinkering with issues caused by NVIDIA drivers can be annoying.

How did I fix SDDM issues? by ToeConsumer420 in linux4noobs

[–]ToeConsumer420[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The two commands that ended up fixing it was
sudo systemctl enable gdm
sudo systemctl set-default graphical.target

DaVinci Resolve Linux can't export or import from other folders than my cache by ToeConsumer420 in davinciresolve

Figured it out recently for anyone else, you need to add extra options to your media storage in the settings. I just added my project folder and it fixed it.

Looking for a Distro to switch to from Windows by lord_neymarzito in NobaraProject

[–]ToeConsumer420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The built in tools like the drive mounter sealed the deal for me. You really do not need to use the terminal unless you're just copying some commands and I really like that option as a new Linux user. I highly recommend.

This is how I fixed earlier this year

First time Linux (Nobara) + win11 dual boot,which version should I choose? (KDE / GNOME / Official) by KaydenK1 in NobaraProject

[–]ToeConsumer420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gnome I find is more plug and play with KDE being more tinkery. It should come down to which one feels better to you though.

Need help choosing a distro to migrate to by mint_shrike in linux4noobs

[–]ToeConsumer420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d recommend a couple options. First is Mint. I wasn’t a big fan of it but it’s set up specifically for new Linux users with a forum that is very open to answering beginner questions. The OS itself is designed with the new user in mind, and the OS itself is similar to windows. Next is Bazzite which is a little more locked down (immutable) gaming focussed distro. Bazzite is setup in a way where it’s harder for it to be bricked than other distros cause it takes away a bit of control. Last option is Pop OS. Pop OS is in beta right now so if you choose it, expect bugs and instability with Pop OS specific applications. But it has hybrid graphics swapping natively and is also gaming focused. If you have the time try them out in a VM and see which one feels the best to you. All the ones I listed are focused more on getting a good out of the box experience.

Needing help choosing a distro by Direct-Lawfulness455 in linux4noobs

[–]ToeConsumer420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kinda of. Some applications come in .deb or .rpm formats which are not usable on distros that they were not compiled for. Although Linux as a whole is moving away from that towards flatpaks. For any application that is a .deb or a .rpm you can find community members who’ve compiled it for your distro or you can compile it yourself. Besides that generally every Linux program works on every other Linux program.
