What is the True Gamer Os?
If you would use a Steam Deck would you still install Midsofts Os?
Let me know in the Comments below

Yeah, was thinking about adding a line about how vanilla Arch users hate Manjaro when I wrote something positive about Manjaro, but I was thinking to myself: #notall.
Well, how I was proven wrong. The memes are true.

The reason is, Manjaro tries hard to market itself as being easier, when the truth is it's actually not. But in that effort to market itself as easier, they do a different package repository which may use different packages and versions, which breaks compatibility with a lot of Arch based software and binaries. Then when that stuff breaks, users look for solutions online, and will almost always find solutions for Arch, but those solutions won't work.

The best part about Arch is it has one of the, if not now the largest user community putting up fixes and tweaks online for people in need of help to look up, find, and be able to fix things themselves.

Most the "ease of use" stuff people associate with "easy" distros as well are actually part of the desktop environments, not the distro. So if someone installs Archlinux, using the archinstall script (which is a guided install process like any other distro uses), and in that process they select an easy desktop from the list of choices, such as KDE, then they'll be better equipped than with Manjaro.

Endeavor is also fully compatible with Archlinux, but comes with a graphical installer. There's no difference between that graphical installer, or the one you'd use on Manjaro, Opensuse, etc. And the only difference between an Arch install using the archinstall script, and those other installers is archinstall will run you through a list of the same options, but using text prompts.

Used the Arch wiki many times to fix issues with Debian/Ubuntu-based systems. Once you understand the differences, it translates surprisingly well. It's Linux after all.
And once you acknowledge that Manjaro does things differently from vanilla Arch, like being heavily authored by the devs, it's actually not that big of a deal.
There's nothing wrong with vanilla Arch and nothing wrong with Manjaro. They do things differently. Simple as.

Maybe it's best to view Manjaro decoupled from Arch. Like some already do view Ubuntu decoupled from Debian, despite being a downstream project, but because it does some things radically different.

windows is for games
linux is for doing life stuff that needs human rights and non tracking like email and school and bank

[Rhila]

of course Windows for gaming.
Linux was a nightmare for me.

Not really, I mean I doubt Microsoft has any intention of dropping Windows any time soon, Windows 11 is still fairly new (in windows terms) and will receive updates for quite some time.

So really, you won't be forced off that platform any time soon, so you can continue to enjoy using Windows :-).

At the end of the day, you should use whatever suits you best, if that happens to be Windows, well go right ahead :-)

I have to admit I have have never had an issue with Windows since 7, Win 7 had 1 update that broke stuff.

Oh, that DirectX update that was required for IE11, but broke a ton of games?
Thank goodness we could roll that back!

Windows is not focused on gaming. It would be a vastly different OS if it were.

That and the Nvidia driver that burned GTX 590 and other Fermi cards, I had a pair of GTX 480 back then with a 2500K CPU.

heh, "it's not you, it's me."
I'm talking about dropping M$ because of a fatal loss of marbles on their part. I don't care what they do after that...

Oh, was that a driver sent through a Windows update?

Yikes. While it was for a Microsoft OS, I think we can blame that one on Nvidia, not Windows.

(unless it was WHQL in which case we should never trust "WHQL" again, lol)

At the moment, I'm a bit annoyed that Firefox abruptly quit working on my Steam Deck desktop mode. It eventually opens several minutes after I click the icon. After I uninstalled it and reinstalled it several times, and wiped the profile folder, and messed around with the flatpak commandline.

And the Game Mode menu keeps failing to upload a system report.

And the fan keeps spinning up.
