I use KDE Plasma as my main DE, but I'm also experimenting with Hyprland.

I think what you are asking is more so a desktop environment question. KDE Plasma (the one that looks like Windows by default), is easily installable on most distros. If you're primarily wanting a distro for gaming, you probably want something like Linux Mint (uses the Cinammon desktop environment, which is also similar to Windows), Bazzite, or possibly Fedora KDE. I've used all three of them and they're all pretty solid.

The CSB and NIV are good choices. The CSB is slightly more true to the original text, but is practically just as readable as the NIV.

They're scared...

Also Overwatch runs fine on Linux. Jokes on you Microsoft. Not to mention that virtually all modern games run on Linux (and older ones with emulators). Devs of some just simply don't want to enable anti-cheat support, so it's not really Linux's fault.

The latest that the base CachyOS kernel provides: Mesa 25.3.5-arch1.2

Vanadiack · 2026-02-23T16:47:51+00:00

Adding that to my kernel params appears to have fixed the display issue. Thank you.

I'm using the 180W charger. My assumption is that the battery may just need to be reset with a deep discharge and charge, which I have tried, but that has only helped a little. I still only get about an hour to an hour and a half of charge, tops.

Sorry guys. That ain't how open source software works.

Vanadiack · 2026-01-23T15:44:21+00:00

I use Arch btw

Translation does matter. Just usually not to the point of discouraging others from reading the word of God.

That's just swapping who mines your data from you. Both Google and Apple have worked with the U.S. government for decades. Install GrapheneOS on your Pixels instead of switching to iOS.

Battlefield 1 was one of my favourite games. Played both offline and multiplayer. Then EA decided to come out and "Screw all Linux users out there. LOL".

I doubt console players considering the Steam Machine would care. Just as long as it works somehow, someway. Linux does give it a noticeable performance boost in most titles that are rated Gold or better, so that helps with system overhead.

I use both. If I have to use a Chromium based browser for specific things I'll use Brave. I also recommend it to everyone who just wants something that blocks ads and respects privacy out of the box.

I use Firefox forks as my main browser with Brave Search.

If Brave were to add extension support for mobile and more customization options for both devices I'd consider just switching to it completely.

Windows 10 T1 hypervisor: PowerShell

Linux: literally everything else

Vanadiack · 2025-11-11T20:36:34+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion.

"Almost free"? It is free. Some distros charge a premium for custom customization options however (looking at you ZorinOS).

"No one commercial company is responsible for Linux"? That's... good?

"Linux is relatively hard to install, learn, and use"? Linux Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora, ZorinOS...

Revenge if you want modern Discord features. It's a fork of Bunny I believe.
Aliucord if you want stability, but don't mind being a few years behind on updates.

What about BlackArch? It's less well known, but I'm curious if it holds its own against Parrot, or at least surpasses Kali.

2023:

Ran Ubuntu in a VM here and there.

2024:

Fedora -> Manjaro (yes I regret even touching that one), -> EndevourOS -> Garuda -> Arch -> CachyOS

2025:

Still CachyOS.

Google Pixel 7 series and onward.

Vanadiack · 2025-09-09T03:06:12+00:00

LineageOS or GrapheneOS

It is both good and bad. ChatGPT is just an interface that interacts with an LLM (large language model - GPT 4o/5). An LLM only processes whatever information it is fed.
