It runs like shit, at least when I tried it. Never heard of Continuwuity, will looks into it thanks.

Yeah Keet (and Pear in general) are doing some open washing, branding their apps as open source while using very restrictive licences, at least that’s how I feel about them. It’s closer to source available to my eyes.

A website called The Pirate Bay with nothing to pay doesn’t look the official way to acquire or watch the last Disney movie to me.

Maybe memoria but I don’t think it support e2ee. However it is a self-hosted solution which is more private than a unecrypted SaaS with tons of telemetry.

That is the distinction between Open Source and Free (as in Freedom) Software. I prefer the spanish/latin/french term Libre to refer to what you call “truly open source”.

Open source is indeed frequently used by big and smaller companies to do what I call OpenWashing. Yes the source code is available somewhere but the licence is so restrictive that it doesn’t respect my freedom and thus isn’t Libreware / Free Software.

Also copyleft for the win!

It’s less resilient, honestly with today speeds it is not that less efficient I would say.

It depends on your local laws I think. I’m pretty sure downloading free copyrighted product from an unauthorized source is still illegal in France for exemple.

4K UHD Bluray Disc rips ;D

InstaFel?

I’m not a fan of NonSteamLaunchers but I’m happy about this

And we are still waiting for RDNA4 on AMD’s APUs

Yes, developers needs to implement fovated rendering but not fovated streaming.

Yeah fuck the video codec mafia and all these proprietary shits like HDMI

Heroic has slow download from GoG and Epic on my machine too.

I don’t remember the name but I remember seen some info about a Emerald remake as a Cobblemon server.

The most illegal ROMHack according to Big N

I never tried CachyOS but I know it’s popular.

Well if you’re daily driving Kubuntu and wants an Arch-based distro go for it, CachyOS is really popular these days.

I think it made sense for Valve to go with Arch for a custom Hardware with console-like experience cuz they can tweak it and optimize it in depth but for a desktop PC you won’t have big difference from a gaming perspective.

I’m not 100% sure about this but I think you could copy/backup the file that create all the non-steam link and metadata if you make the switch to another distro. But you’ll have to do some research I guess.

Doesn’t change the fact that you will have a great experience from any of these distro when it comes to gaming. Most of the changes in UX come from the Desktop Environment (KDE Plasma, GNOME, Cinnamon, XFCE, etc…). Other difference are packages availablility but beside Steam which is on most distro package you will probably use Flatpaks anyway. Also you should be able to swap distro without loosing files and games.

So beside some minor changes you won’t notice much else. If it’s your first time on Linux I would suggest you Bazzite (or Mint).

Nobara isn’t Arch-based but Fedora-based like bazzite. And Glorious Eggroll isn’t behind Proton but a popular fork of it (he does contribute to main Proton from Valve too I think)

Honestly every distro will do the work and you won’t find your perfect distro on the first hop, you probably never will. Just pick one that have good track record, a big userbase for help on forums if something goes wrong.
