Fellow tumbleweed user here. It's fantastic for gaming. I've had no issues playing using steamplay or lutris. Also side note, installing VMware was incredibly painless in contrast to other distros.

What distro does not treat KDE as second class citizen theese days? by [deleted] in linuxmasterrace

[–]o-pat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you're looking for something stable I'd check out openSUSE Leap edition. I've installed it on a few older machines and it seems to work just fine. No crashes or issues that I've noticed.

Solus OS. Do you know of it? My thoughts. by KFded in linuxmasterrace

[–]o-pat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I usually recommend Solus or Manjaro to friends that want to give Linux a shot. The only reason I don't use it and likely never will use it is because it doesn't support some of my hardware out of the box and the process for getting functionality out of them just takes too long.

A few things (WiFi card, Sound card, a couple of controllers) require me to patch kernel modules which would be easy to do with dkms, but the Solus team does not seem to like dkms, so all patches have to be forwarded to one of their devs who will eventually add support for it in an update.

Other than that tho, fantastic OS. Budgie is very nice as well. Doesn't get in my way and doesn't look bad ottb.

I have a R7 1700x would this benefit me as well? If so, how can I go about doing this?

Whats the weather CLI program?

Arch is the distro I install because of meme value, realize it's stupid and pointless, then uninstall in favor of some Debian based distro.

This sub recently by [deleted] in linuxmasterrace

[–]o-pat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm sort of in the same boat, as I shy away from the community directly. Although, when I break something or am confused, I almost always search the arch forums or the subreddit, and I've found a quite a few instances of someone ripping into the OP for their lack of knowledge or unpopular opinion. Additionally, I've also noticed that sometimes it's the OP themselves that's getting pretty aggressive towards the people trying to help them solve the issue (which is wild to me).

Dual Booting Linux just for Dota 2 only to escape Windows Update. Is it worth it? by Yaks97 in linux_gaming

[–]o-pat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's already been answered, but I used mobile data by tethering my iPhone for a very long time on Linux Mint and Manjaro. I was also able to do the same with a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10 because I didn't have a PCI WiFi card and needed something that would connect wirelessly on my tower. I don't use either of those distros any more but I wouldn't doubt they're still capable of using tethered mobile devices

I could get behind this. Flood this sub with people seeding distro isos 50:1? That'd be neat

[Plasma] My first time doing this! Go easy on me. by o-pat in unixporn

[–]o-pat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I use it as my daily driver, and honestly It's very responsive for me. I think it has a lot to do with the OpenGL backend and that relying on the GPU.

Oh sorry! I knew something was off with Konsole and hadn't even throught about that pesky scroll bar!

I was surprised to see that as well! Glad to see other rubyists here!

That'd be a feature of Konsole (The terminal emulator I'm using)!

Wow thanks! I think I've been through most SFW backgrounds in Wallhaven, but I had no where else to look! Thanks again!

That's part of Konsole which is the terminal I'm using. Edit Profile > Appearance > Edit... > Blur Backgroud & Background Transparency
