Bilb!

I use Aurora DX instead which has the same Universal Blue core as Bazzite. I’ll echo what you say about distrobox- its fantastic once you realize how capable it is. You can set up a container for each development environment you need and never worry about conflicts or anything like that. Install SDKs, editors, IDEs, etc. and as you say, just run them as if they were on the host OS. Your container can be based on Fedora, Ubuntu, NixOS, and many more- so choose whatever you’re most comfortable with and just get to work. Aurora DX also comes with brew setup which can provide a lot of packages to run on the host as well, but I don’t often feel the need to do so.

I do wish I could add certain features of Bazzite to Aurora, like the gamescope session and the ujust waydroid script.

Keep a journal. Every day just jot down how you’re feeling and what’s on your mind, what you plan to do/did. Its amazing how helpful this has been for me.

Don’t drink alcohol. It’s not good for you in any amount.

I’m curious, do you recall what hardware issue you had? I’ve been using Fedora-based Aurora on my 13 and 16.

Ah, this is so cool. I have been absolutely loving Aurora. Maybe I can make a check point and rebase to this to try it out.

Is there good humor somewhere on Lemmy?

It’s possible! https://lore.kernel.org/all/YzwooNdMECzuI5+h@intel.com/ This was only 2 years ago.

There was a intel driver update that broke some laptop displays. It’s not impossible. https://lore.kernel.org/all/YzwooNdMECzuI5+h@intel.com/

KDE is now working on releasing an atomic Arch-based distro themselves, which sounds a lot like SteamOS. I wonder how they will compare.

“Hence why”

Syntactically makes no sense. Just say “that’s why,” that’s what you are trying to say.

I will be the next King of Linux.

Alcohol. Last drink was 42 days ago. I was getting very drunk every day for years. I feel pretty good right now, getting therapy to work through the issues that I was self-medicating. Also making some big positive changes.

I guess it’s too early to say with confidence that I “kicked” it, but I haven’t gone this long without a drink for a very long time and I’m determined to never touch alcohol again.

Also also: since you’re already down with KDE, check out kinoite (atomic F40 KDE). Atomic distros are awesome :)

And check out Aurora! It’s basically Kinoite with a lot of nice tweaks and inclusions. Aurora-dx is especially nice if you do dev stuff. I’ve been really happy with it.

Yeah, I don’t see why I should care about that. Gimme some crazy graphical effects, particles and shaders!

You’ve lost me on this one. No idea what you mean. But either way, I think you should take my comment just a bit less seriously.

So in other words, I’m thinking of Linux

On bad operating systems like Linux, yes. ;)

The Wendy’s 4-Alarm Spicy Chicken Sandwich.

Anyone else get free Ubuntu CDs shipped to their house? I think I had 7.10 (Gusty Gibbon) shipped to my house back in 2007.

Otherwise, Mandrake Linux was my first “good” distro. I first tried one called Lycoris which claimed to be an beginner’s distro with it’s own DE, and it was impressive how well it handled setting up a dual boot installation and at the time it was a revelation that I could use a computer without Windows. I didn’t begin preferring linux until I tried Mandrake with KDE 3, though.

It’s not as if they are holding themselves up as supporting Free Software philosophies (as opposed to Open Source), so where’s the pretense?

If somehow it ever makes strategic sense for them to stop making use of the open source model, yeah, they’ll stop. That doesn’t mean they were pretending.

I don’t think they’re pretending. Open source software is a valuable resource for basically all major tech companies, and a lot of it is driven by major tech companies. Some kind of combination of open source and proprietary software will always be a thing for them. This isn’t some major contradiction, they use either model based on the specific needs of the project.

This is why some think “Open Source” is too permissive since they see it as free/cheap labor to be exploited by huge corporations.

I’m not sure that I see it that way, but I can see their point.
