I’m on a 3060 on popOS and I’ve literally had one driver issue I had to rollback in the year I’ve been daily driving it.

Not sure if different or just tuned to work better with the distro or something else entirely.

Kinda agree. New graphics card is deffo a nuclear option. I’m running pop os and haven’t come across a game I can’t run as it’s got the Nvidia drivers built it. I’d probably try swap distro before buying a new card just in case it’s that. That’s just time and effort rather than buying something that ‘might’ work.

Probably also worth noting that valve are updating the proton drivers all the time, they want the entire steam catalogue to work on steam deck so I would expect every game to work on proton over time. Might just be a waiting game tbh.

No worries, enjoy your coffee experimentation

Edit: have a subscription with Podda and Wren ATM, new coffee; roasters choice delivered fortnightly.

Extract in Bristol, Square Mile London, Podda and Wren Lake District, Routon coffee North Yorkshire. Can’t remember where Hasbean are based but they’re solid.

I’ve got coffee from all of them at one point or another and enjoyed them all.

Seems roasters are all over the place these days :)

To each their own :)

I enjoyed it. It’s a different vibe to the others but still enjoyable. A lot of human drama and tensions

If you want something that’s in the vein of episodic sci fi and is family friendly, try find Seaquest DSV.

In that same vein again, i would recommend Andromeda as it was created by Gene Roddenberry but the lead was Kevin Sorbo who had gone full maga mode, so maybe pirate that one 😁

Edit: did you also watch all of Stargate Atlantis & Universe?

Hello new Linux user! So yes, your correct when installing apps on Linux sometimes you might need to do it via command line other times you’ll get a nice install file you can double click. It’s really down too the software manufacturers on how they choose to package it.

In general with Linux you’ll find there’s still a lot of command line usage compared to Windows or osx. On those platforms for most users they would barely touch a terminal except in some kind of bug fixing emergency.

Some distros come with their own app store built in (like the windows or osx app store) and allow you to install a bunch of apps via the gui.

What version of Linux did you go for out of interest? Some are much more beginner and use friendly than others.

Nah you’re thinking of printers, they come from the depths of hell, 9th or 10th ring at guess. Bluetooth is an amateur by comparison.

I was in a similar boat to you, but then I installed pop and just gave it a go. Stuck it on a separate hd for now but with everything setup and working I’m very happy with it.

Started dual booting Pop a few weeks ago, kept Windows for gaming for the same concern, but if you’ve got the major of your games in stream, Proton really is amazing. Had 0 issues with any game so far.

Check out Protondb and see if your current games are supported or not.

Once I’m 100% comfortable with Linux again I’ll probably bin of windows forever.

I already had a Windows install so letting Windows manage the bootloader seemed easier as I know it can cause issues if it thinks it’s not the OS as others have said.

I use a local roster as well. They have a rosters choice option so I never know what I’m going to get.
