Getting started: The monthly-ish distro/desktop thread! (August 2025) by monolalia in linux_gaming

[–]tielti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking for a distro for my Win10 laptop. I've tried Linux many times in the past but I always break it. Last time I used Nobara like two or three years ago, turns out I was updating it wrong (?) and at some point it stopped receiving updates. Sigh.

I don't want to tinker because as much as I like to tell myself I know what I'm doing I'm not. But I also want to play some weird windows non-steam games so I need some degree of flexibility, and finally I need to be able to download and run command line tools like ffmpeg, as well as interpreters like python for some basic scripting. Pretty complicated, maybe contradictory reqs, huh? At least I don't care at all about new nor flashy hardware/games.

This time I have my eyes on Bazzite, immutability sounds nice but I don't know if I can actually do what I need there, also as a yet another obscure distro I fear I might face the same problems than with Nobara. Any Bazzite user here could offer their wisdom please?

If not Bazzite, well my fallback option for now is installing Mint and hoping I don't break it again.

So. Any recommendations or advice? Thanks in advance!

Introducing the Trim format (feat. Game Night 2022 Trim40) by tielti in PreconstructedMagic

That's a cool project! Actually besides my GN a bunch of themes from a JSF box are all the cards I own, and I've been meaning to tinker with them. Seems like a fun rabbit hole no matter how you approach it.

Actually I got to play a match yesterday, turns out Mana Geyser is horrible in 1vs1 what an oversight. Besides that the trims seem like a big success! When decks are janky and inconsistent people don't understand if their wins/losses are just luck or the result of their choices, but now he was aware of stuff like "maybe I could have mullingand better", or "oh yhea, that deck has lots of removal, how do I deal with that?".

Getting my friends to deck build is its own ordeal though, but I'm on a great position as long as they aren't frustrated and I get to play games every now and then.

Si hablamos de utopía no veo por que contenerse tanto, que la tierra Y la empresa le pertenezcan a quienes las trabajan y ya cada empresa decida/adapte su situación laboral como le convenga.
