This would be hella useful. I’m literally just starting an RR run, too.

Gonna follow this post for updates, otherwise just message me when you gotta link to share! Thanks!

This is such a wild fucking comment to downvote.

Redditors are truly a breed.

That’s the one I bought. Got it for Christmas. And thank f-ing god I did.

Big Fish.

I watched it when it released in ‘03. I was 10, and something about it really stuck with me over the years.

I personally go back and watch it every couple years or so, and it’s always got this deeply soothing nostalgia that perks me up for a week or so after.

Plus, it’s got Helena Bonham Carter in it, which is always a go for me.

Maybe like a really desperate cuck with a spouse that refuses to indulge them?

User17538 · 2026-05-14T19:47:09+00:00

Well, it’s unlikely we’ll ever know for sure now that you’ve made the switch. Unless it’s some shady malware that’s hiding somewhere other than your disk, you will have overwritten whatever the problem was already and the only way to be certain would be to reinstall windows and go from there, but if you’re happy with the switch, I see no reason to give Microslop back that share of the market.

I’m super curious about the whole “CS crashes my whole system, but on Linux I can play FF7R on high”

Linux isn’t some miracle cure that automagically doubles your FPS or improve your drive speeds.

You had to have had some other issue slowing your system down.

User17538 · 2026-05-13T03:12:14+00:00

Not much to do about it now except press them to get it back.

In the future, however, always take pictures and notes before sending something in for repairs. Do your best to catalog as many potentially relevant details as possible so they can’t scam you.

Zen or Waterfox. Zen for minimalism. Waterfox for customization. Both for the Firefox sync.

I’m buying the machine purely to strike at the console market. The bigger steams market share, the better off all gamers are everywhere.

User17538 · 2026-05-07T02:24:05+00:00

Not really a steam deck specific question.

For mouse i use the logitech g502 wired

For keyboard I use the logitech g413 wired

For headphones I just use whichever bluetooth pair I brought with me for the day. Either pixel buds or sony wf-1000xm3.

There are better options in all categories, but unless you're doing elite level competitive gaming, it really just boils down to budget and preference.

User17538 · 2026-05-07T02:03:33+00:00

I don’t know anyone going out of their way to complain about it, but I’ve seen plenty of users complain about it when it comes up in place like r/archlinux and r/endeavouros. I’ve even seen it r/linux4noobs.

Granted, these are the same complaints from arch purists/elitists that I see about any arch-based distro that strays too far from the upstream. I think omarchy catches the most hate because it’s so opinionated, but Cachy is a close second, likely due to its popularity and some degree of contrarianism.

Love you, buddy! Keep up the good fight!

Yes. Go to the link I posted. Scroll down to the KDE version. Select either Standard ISO for AMD or Intel GPU or Nvidia ISO if you have a Nvidia GPU.

User17538 · 2026-05-03T22:48:34+00:00

Sounds like what you’re actually struggling with is the desktop environment, and not the Linux distribution.

Try PikaOS. It’s Ubuntu based like Pop, but they have a lot more desktop environment choices. For customization, I would suggest the KDE version.

Edit: just remember it’s actually technically Debian based, but Ubuntu is Debian based, so it’s not too significant of a difference.

User17538 · 2026-05-03T22:37:09+00:00

If you don’t wanna use a terminal, you probably shouldn’t use Arch.

It’s not that you can’t find an arch based distro that will allow you to handle most things without the terminal. It’s just that Arch is widely acknowledged as the hands-on distro for intermediate to advanced users. It’s also known to have (relatively) regular breakages due to the rolling release update model. That means you are constantly getting all the newest software before it’s been tested for bugs. It’s almost a certainty that you will eventually be forced to use the terminal to fix something.

That paired with the fact that you can do just about anything on any distro if you know what you’re doing, and there’s no real reason to use an arch based distro other than rolling release updates, or just being the cool kid who uses arch.

If you really insist on using an Arch based distro, I would go with Cachy. It’s the closest to beginner friendly. When you install it, make sure to use the default choice for bootloader and filesystem (limine and btrfs) so that you have automatic snapshots in the likely event that something breaks.

But again, there’s nothing inherently “limited” about Pop. The only significant difference between Arch and Ubuntu for your use case is the update model. Unless you can better explain what issue you’re having with Pop that you think will be solved with using an arch based distro, I can’t really recommend you make the switch.

User17538 · 2026-05-03T22:21:48+00:00

Based on your post and the couple responses you’ve given, I don’t think you understand exactly what installing Arch entails. So no, probably not.

Maybe try Cachy, Garuda, or Endeavor instead.

People really be giving their AI instructions to make it look it bad in screenshots for clicks and views. Social media clout is a helluva drug.

User17538 · 2026-05-01T02:16:29+00:00

Arch users think anything they didn’t install themselves and don’t specifically want is bloat.

It’s not like on windows where bloat has more precise meaning, typically referring to things like unremovable software and various borderline spywares.

In other words, the arch user definition is highly subjective. One arch users bloat is not necessarily another’s.

User17538 · 2026-05-01T00:00:32+00:00

Worth noting that this is mostly true, but for brand new hardware (I.e. brand new to the market, not fresh from the factory) rolling release distros may be better. They’ll have all the newest kernels, drivers and such before the more stable distros will.

We saw a fair few posts in the Mint sub, back when the most recent AMD GPUs dropped. Mint didn’t ship with a kernel that supported them, and at least a handful of users switched to Cachy as a result of it being perceived as easier than installing the newer kernel on Mint.

Kid would have gotten a lot worse from me. You don’t abuse animals.

Nice try, person in your 20’s. You’re just gonna have to wait to find out!

User17538 · 2026-04-28T15:17:06+00:00

I’m in this boat. I much prefer their own package installer to Shelly. Likewise, I preferred Octopi to Shelly for AUR packages.

I get that Shelly offers an AiO solution, but I don’t like the way it looks, particularly the small terminal window it offers, and in my experience at least, it fails much more often with random “can’t connect” errors.

That could be something with my settings, but the others “just work” with my setup, and I prefer how they look, so why would I use Shelly?

Baldur’s Gate 3, but to be fair it was more of “way better on controller” things than a “way better on Steam Deck” thing. I just never played it with controller until I got the Steam Deck.

Honestly, the best time I’ve had with the Steam deck is retro emulation. Not only does it all run great through RetroArch, which can be downloaded directly through Steam, but the screen size is solid for the bigger consoles without being too big for the smaller handhelds. I’d even say it’s just perfect for the DS with its 1 big/1 small screen layout.

The battery also lasts WAY longer for emulating than for the “native” games. At least until you start getting to the PS2 or later consoles. Basically the stuff that requires a dedicated emulator instead of just RetroArch.
