    Yeah, bad timing on my end to recommend it lol. From the little I read on their GitHub, I don’t think the API change was intentional to break stuff, just so happens to do so, but I could be wrong. Hopefully it gets solved soon enough, at least there is already a pull request to that fixes it.


  • Yep, it can use your Spotify account if you want to play mport your playlists and doesn’t have ads because it fetches the music from YouTube.

    It looks like YouTube did something to their API and a bunch of apps that use it are not working, including Piped, but some solution is being worked on.





  • I’d recommend you test Bazzite, Nobara and Solus and see which one you like best.

    As far as I know screen resolution issues usually comes down to outdated drivers and/or kernel, at least for newer hardware. Using a distro that’s very up-to-date usually solves that, any of the 3 ones I cited above are regularly up-to-date.

    I’ll briefly explain the differences between them.

    Bazzite:

    “Atomic” distro. Basically means it updates like Android, where it downloads an image of the system and uses that to update, instead of updating every single package individually when you try to update. It also means some parts of the system are read-only, making it impossible to mess with the more critical parts of the system, which helps a lot to mitigate user breakage and issues.

    It is Fedora based, comes with KDE Plasma and a lot of of useful gaming stuff pre-installed. Just use the software center to install anything you need. It has a forum and Discord server if you ever need help with something. Also, it auto-updates on the background by default and only applies the update once you restart you computer.

    I use it daily since the last 3 months at least and has been the smoothest, most plug and play experience I ever had on Linux. It is also the only one of the 3 that I recommended that supports Secure Boot and easy TPM2 setup, both which I need because of an external drive with Win11 I barely use and because I encrypt my system.

    Nobara:

    It’s not Atomic, so it updates “normally” and doesn’t have the read-only protections.

    It is Fedora based and comes with KDE Plasma by default, but have options to use other Desktop Environments. There’s a Discord server to ask for help if needed.

    I used it for a year before I moved to Bazzite and it’s pretty good. The only 2 caveats is that on major upgrades you need to upgrade through the terminal following specific instructions, and I had to manually intervene in the system a few times, which I only knew about because I was in GE’s Discord, otherwise it would be a pain to find how to fix the issues I had.

    Solus:

    It’s not Atomic, so it updates “normally” and doesn’t have the read-only protections.

    It’s not based on any other distro, it is it’s own thing. Comes by default with Budgie but there’s also a KDE Plasma option. There’s a forum to ask for help if needed.

    Used it for at least 4 or 5 years I think. Was the first Linux distro to actually get my attention and one of the best computer experiences I’ve ever had. I only ended abandoning it because of some issues with the team behind it that resulted in months of downtime without a single update, to the point I thought the distro was dead. It ended up coming back after some restructuring, but I never tried it again. I still recommend it because of how good it was, I found nearly everything I needed natively on their app store. The biggest problem other than the one I already talked about was outdated apps here and there.




  • I get what you’re saying and I would definitely agree in the case of Fedora Silverblue/Kinoite. I specifically said Bazzite because it is specifically made to be as hassle free as possible while also providing a lot out of the box.

    If someone needs help there’s a dedicated forum for that, documentation and also a Discord server. It can be more complex in some areas for troubleshooting, but it is also big enough to the point where you can get help if needed.

    Bazzite has been the smoothest experience I ever had on Linux since I started using it in 2018 when Proton launched. I even use it on my main computer and laptop.

    If I had to recommend a non atomic distro the only ones would be Solus and Nobara, but on Nobara you need to keep an eye on their Discord because of manual interventions every now and then.



  • Congrats! Is this the first person you’ve told?

    Thank you!! And yes, she’s the first person I told about it.

    You are you! The labels are all just oversimplifications anyways. :) Do you have any plans to make any changes?

    I do want to, like I want to act more feminine for example, but I’m too shy and too afraid/anxious to do so right now, so it’s probably take some time before I start showing my true self.

    I probably should just switch to a non-verbal method to come out to my family. Cuz verbal methods seem really hard.

    It’s way easier that way. I mean, still difficult, but definitely more maneageble. I do hope it goes well for you ☺️





  • I used Nobara for a year and my main partition got corrupted after a hard reset because my RAM is faulty. Decided to try Bazzite, everything has been smooth sailing and the best experience I’ve ever had on Linux, but if I had to list three things that would be:

    1. Can’t install xpad drivers from git because the Desktop is atomic.

    I used a pending PR for xpad under Nobara that allowed access for the extra buttons for my Flydigi Vader 3 Pro under Linux. Right now I’m just using a VM with Windows to configure it as I want, it’s a hassle but it works.

    1. I don’t know why the Steam client likes to freeze so much under Wayland every time a Steam spawned window is closed, it honestly gets on my nerves sometimes, wish it would just have native support by now.

    2. Kernel level Anticheats that block Linux.

    Not that much of a problem but it’s annoying when some game I really want to play just doesn’t work. I wanted to play the 2XKO alpha on Linux, but for some reason Riot decided to use Vanguard for it and I now I have to play it on a separate Windows install I did on an external SSD.

    People will always suffer. There’s a multitude of variables as to why people around the world suffer.

    Let’s take a step back. Why does the majority of people suffer under capitalism? Because they have to live in a world where they don’t get good, free healthcare, don’t have a right to a house, don’t earn nearly enough to live comfortably, don’t have enough vacation, can’t afford to take a trip, don’t have time to enjoy their lives, are alienated from their work, have shitty jobs, work too much, etc, etc, etc.

    That creates a necessity for charities for all the basic stuff everyone should have, but doesn’t currently have. If we give free good healthcare for everyone, the need for charities to threat people disappears. If we give everyone a home, the need for charities for homeless people, disappear.

    Okay, so how about they don’t donate to charities… no more technical advancement in medicine, so people can be poor and die from disease.

    What??? You do know that most breakthrough advancements doesn’t come from the private initiative right? It comes mainly from public, government expending, into research. This idea that private entities advance society is just a liberal propaganda lie that is peddled to us all the time since birth.

    Charities isn’t something you enforce or eliminate. It is a free choice to give. Mandate it and you’re just legalizing theft by the authority.

    I’m not talking about making charities illegal, I, like every other communist in the world, am talking about solving the issue at it’s roots, eliminating capitalism, and that requires eliminating exploitation through labor and eliminating the rich and insanely wealthy as a class.


  • They donate not because of the goodness in their heart, but because they get tax cuts from it.

    Furthermore, what does donation really accomplish when:

    1. People are still suffering, regardless of how many charities there are and how much money they get;

    2. Those wealthy donors are the reason people continue poor since they are only wealthy by exploiting other people’s work.

    Charities shouldn’t need to exist in the first place.
