If I install Arch with Hyprland...

[Bind0fGod]

Will I be a real gamer?

[Bind0fGod]

No one replied so I went with KDE Plasma.

I hope I can still be a real gamer

Mint is the way to go.

Arch is for try hards who think something being complicated makes it superior.

I actually tried Mint a few days ago but the packages were out of date for KDE as opposed to Fedora so i switched to that and then I realized if I was going to use KDE+Fedora I might as well just switch back to Arch- which I used for a year before.

It's already snappier than both of them. Or Debian 12 which I was maining right before this.

I won't disagree in that it is for tryhards- but Arch did just unzip a file probably twice as fast as any other distro. It really is lightweight and well formatted.

I installed Hyprland on fedora before i wiped it and it didn't really seem like it was for me. I like my floating window puzzle.

If I was to use Linux, it would be Mint. I like having a GUI like Windows. Easy to use and easy to learn the names of other packages/programs that Windows has.

Buuuuuut... I don't like needing to screw around with Proton layers when I want to play a game.

You're asking something about a top notch Linux distro on OT? I'm I high or something? This can't be real. Unicorns, flat earth, yaaaay colorful colors...

i have a laptop with arch and all i ever did with it is tinker/fix stuff and look up forum answers. gaming on arch is possible of course if you set things up properly and be willing to deal with technical issues. however if you want a stable system where you can just boot and play stay away from arch and use ubuntu... or better yet use windows since all games run natively there.

I had Overwatch running at the 600 frame cap in less than an hour of installing ARCH

I've done the whole Arch thing before.

KDE- the DE I am using- is also very much like Windows and more powerful than the cinnamon DE that Mint ships with.

KDE is what Steam uses on their Deck's desktop mode .

Yeah, but I don't have Steam Deck and don't need one when my PC would eat the Steam Deck for a snack.

It's also a massive pain to get emulators working on the deck.

That wasn't really he point of my post. I was just pointing out that KDE behaves shockingly like Windows so Valve handed it to a bunch of normies on their plastic console.

Regardless- everything is easy on Deck if you know what you're doing.

Valve was intentionally trying to get people used to Linux because Gabe hates WIndows, or so the conspiracy goes.

I prefer how simple Windows is with everything I do. Games just work unless they're really old and require some additional files. Proton layers can be a real nightmare.

I remember a thread here once where someone was trying to get some old game to run on Win11 and there were tons of comments and none of the solutions worked and I tried it under proton via Lutris on Debian 12 and it booted immediately.

Linux- the grass really is greener over here.

Windows isn't perfect.

Very green since Mint is green and mint is very minty, and green.

Mint is absolutely fine for people starting out- but there is nothing particular stand out about it besides how stable it is.

After using Debian 12 and Arch though , it felt a little bloated . Both of those distros are pretty lightweight .

It is very snappy using a distro with only the minimum installed

Mint is what I recommend to anyone who is curious about Linux, but I also warn them that it isn't as simple as Windows 10 or 11, just in case they want to scream at me later for not being able to install stuff the same way.

Is Arch still command line based or do they have a GUI now?

Surprisingly enough, I've had 0 issues with Windows 11 and RAM usage is only about 30% with nothing else open.

The installed is command line based but there is a very good script included called archinstall that you can use as soon as the live disk boots.

I did it manually last time, but this time I used the script and it worked like a charm.

Even let you pick a Desktop Environment and extra packages you may want.

Loaded up with no issues as easy as Mint after executing it. But you do have to start the script and understand what it is asking.

Windows RAM usage is fine-

I am using 8% of my 64gb~ of RAM with this browser + 22 tabs open + a few other smaller apps on Arch
