    It’s bad for normal people. The Linux community is still delusional about the desktop state and it’s lack of easy use and compatible hardware.

    Now, here come 20 nerds to screech at me about how my issues aren’t real and 10 years outdated.

    Running bazzite deck/desktop (gnome) and still have multiple issues configuring displays, audio, and getting games to work correctly.

      Every machine I have tried it on it works flawlessly. Actually it is Windows that now has weird driver issues with older hardware.

        🤣 I can’t even get the display to work without having unplug it every time or have audio work without a pulse wire script. We’re talking about day one bullshit like Bluetooth working inconsistently and with tons of latency. VRR and HDR not working in tons of games.

        But I’m sure I’m just doing it wrong 🤣. This is the year of Linux desktop!

          Probably running Nvidia with a shit motherboard on a distro that doesn’t support it. HDR not working!? It works just fucking fine on the Steam Deck. This is clearly a user problem.

            12700k, MSI tomahawk, and yeah Nvidia. But it ain’t a shit board it was all upper mid range when purchased. Thank you for proving my point so elegantly. “I’m holding it wrong” - Jobs probably

                You’re incorrect. They have since earlier this year and it’s highly recommended in the blue discord.

                But I do love the cognitive disconnect between Linux DE is easy and you’ve chosen the wrong hardware and haven’t done enough compatibility research 🤣. It’s fascinating.

                  They just started their support, Jesus you are acting dumb. Try another distro. Fascinating you haven’t done this already.

                    What distro do you suggest? I’ve done Debian , similar display and audio issues. As well as mint and Ubuntu. Is it going to fix my Bluetooth and pulse wire issues as well? Does it support deck mode and btrfs?

                    Bazzite founder here, we’ve supported Nvidia since 1.0

                    Can you not lie to potential users? Please?

                  I’m not trying to shit on you guys, you all are doing great work and I understand why Nvidia sucks.

                  I just wish the community were more honest about the current state on general purpose hardware.

                  Fair enough, I remember decades ago when Nvidia first created their universal driver and everything just worked in Windows and Linux. It used to be the preferred hardware for Linux. How far they have fallen.

      Exactly this. I’ve been running Fedora for about 2 years now. I love it, but I’m NOT going to pretend it’s “ready” yet. It’s getting close, but there are enough edge cases it doesn’t handle well that someone is very likely going to trip over at least one of them.

      Yes, finally someone sane that understand that most linux distro are SUCK !
      The only linux distro that very beginner friendly is Garuda Linux, i said that because that distro has garuda ranni package in it that help even the dumbass linux user to fix & tweaking the OS. No one other linux distros has come close what garuda team does, they singlehandedly making Arch easier to use & tweak even for the dumbass user.

        Perfection.

        It is both easier and ready for the public and a skill issue.

        Peak Linux DE cognitive dissonance.

          Stop all the cherry picking, this isn’t Reddit. Engage the argument in good faith.

          Linux IS easier to install and use than ever before. If you stay within the FOSS ecosystem, the DE does usually work fine for what it’s made for.

          But people are complaining they can’t flawlessly run Windows games in Linux. Come on. Most computer users aren’t even gamers.

            It is easier than ever before. Still not good enough for the general public. Basic stuff doesn’t work consistently or without additional text based configuration and cli tools.

            This is not a problem in window or osx.

              Fair enough, but one person’s “basic” may be another person’s fancy tool/workflow. As far as I know most popular distros either come with a browser or install it from a GUI-based “software store” with pretty minimal effort, and then it “just works” to get on the internet. However, did your distro detect your machine’s Wi-Fi card correctly? Maybe… so I concede your point.

                I think you’re confusing my Bluetooth issues. Either way, it’s not typical with a Windows machine. And I know a lot of it is out of the community’s control. It doesn’t change they random shit doesn’t work distro to distro and with different CC m hardware configurations.

                I can easily connect my PS5 controller to everything flawlessly. Except for my bazzite distro. A gaming focused distro. I have an MSI tomahawk 590 that’s popular and was recommended as a nice upper mid end board. I can’t get my LG TV to connect consistently or use VRR and HDR. And not that it makes me the smartest person on the planet, but this shit is literally my job. I spend all day in podman, dockerfiles, terraform, and have commits to cncf, Apache, and NGinx.

                I understand how to write gameconf.conf files, I can fight the 15 years of display mode crap to specify a new display mode to Wayland.

                Who is this person who isn’t in tech that magically knows this shit and isn’t making 250k a year in tech? I’m us based so maybe this is skewed but I just think most are optimistic at best about Linux DE.

          If you wanted a serious response you should have A) written a serious post and 2) not set up any reply to be “nerds” yelling at you.

          If you think Win11 has a wider support for hardware than a Fedora based OS no one here’s gonna convince you any different because that’s so much concentrated bullshit it’s not even funny.
