Oh yes, that’s entirely my own fault. I first installed Aurora, then Steam as Flapak and later rebased to Bazzite. It was all just for trying stuff out, on my main machine, the install will be clean.

Oh I think I’ve found my answer, it was about SELinux being disabled. Now it says on their official website: "SELinux:
– We have replaced SELinux with AppArmor (AppArmor is used in Ubuntu and OpenSUSE) as we find it to be more user-friendly, less intrusive, and easier to write policies for. You will still see some SELinux packages as they are required to keep Fedora compatibility and not break package dependencies."
I am very interested in what you are saying. I’ve been trying Bazzite for a while now and I ran into some quirks I couldn’t resolve - tiny stuff, that’s mainly a small inconvenience like not being able to put icons on the desktop with Steam due to it being Flatpak and Valve not having enabled that specific option) -
BUT -
I’ve also tried Nobara then was kinda put off by people saying something along the lines, that GE disabled some security features for better performance (and since it was a distro for personal use at first) and I tried to search for the details, but came up empty. Could you say a bit more about this or where I could find more info, please? Cause I’m using my distro as daily driver and not only for gaming, so it got me worried a little.
😂 Well, at the beginning I was a bit lost and a friend played with me for like half an hour and then I knew the basics. After that you look things up that you want to know more about, but it’s not necessary to have the wiki open all the time. The game actually has a quite clear progression and hints on first playthrough.
Highly recommend. I have finished so many worlds with and without mods and I still return to it once in a while.

Glad to hear so many volunteered so quickly, awesome!
This really caught my eye, but does it make sense for an older PC?
Only me reading that as ‘uwu’?
If you want an elaborated answer you will have to share the hardware you want to install it on.

Great and very informative read, also good advice for people who want to contribute but aren’t able to write code.
The blog post is about KDE of course, but I think the idea isn’t limited to that project. There was this post on Lemmy not so long ago where people were discussing other ways of contributing or how people help with open source projects. And there were quite a few who said they can’t code but would like to help with other things (apart from donating money).
In January I read this post on the Linux Mint forums saying: “Wayland isn’t expected to replace Xorg as default any time soon, not in 21.3, not in 22.x, but we want to be ready all the same.”
A blog post in January stated that Linux Mint 22’s “Cinnamon edition will include a new Nemo Actions Organizer”. But that’s all I know sadly.
Wow what a ride. Congrats on making it work, I’m not sure if I wouldn’t have given up at some point. Great job!
About kissing M$'s ass, don’t get me started on updating the BIOS on a HP Laptop, they require you to do that in Windows cause it’s the only way to get their downloader to run. So it’s not only Lenovo’s Laptops that don’t play nice with Linux.
People often forget that they also often have to tinker with making games work in Windows, because they are more familiar with the OS and get it done faster. Also I think you’d be surprised how many games just run without any tinkering at all nowadays. But then there are some that don’t run at all, mostly due to invasive rootkit ‘anti-cheats’. That’s no real loss for me, I wouldn’t install something like that on a Windows machine either.
I’m using Linux Mint with an Nvdia card and it works great. But I don’t have a completely new PC so I don’t need the latest of the latest stuff. Taking your hardware into account is always a good idea.
My advice: don’t switch too fast, maybe keep dual boot at first and give yourself time to learn. Try distros with a live USB stick on your system to see if it works. For the look and feel consult https://distrosea.com/ and play around. Linux can be fun and it’s serving gamers very well now (for the most part - there are games that won’t run mostly due to invasive rootkit ‘anti-cheats’).
Oh I completely forgot about RedHat! Yes, that was my first one too. Then Ubuntu was kinda the thing to go to and it worked for a good while until it just didn’t work for me anymore.
Today I’m on Mint because it was the first distro I tried that was able to get the Wifi working on my super old/bad HP Laptop. I started to like it and then also moved to Mint on my desktop. Running it for a year now and since my PC isn’t the youngest anymore, I doubt I will switch distro again anytime soon.
If you decide to contribute there, it’s quite clear that all the information is public. I mean you can see how the website is structured and what kind of information can be found at each entry.
Additionally, the github states the following about the protondb data: “Data exports from ProtonDB.com released under ODbL” - see here: https://github.com/bdefore/protondb-data
Thank you, that’s very helpful. I will have to think about it - it comes down to a question of convenience vs. “best” security possible.
