One thing I give Linux credit for is how it handles updates. Like, yeah, Linux doesn't force updates, that we all know, but I like how at least in the GNOME desktop, there is no "Update and action" button, there is only the shutdown and restart buttons, where if I am to press either, the system will ask me if I want to install updates or not with a nice box to tick the option. Nowhere near as cluttered as it is in the picture.
I’ve been looking at mint but I’ve been using windows all my life. I’m worried about the steep learning curve and terminal “language”
Would a noob like me survive on linux for gaming?
I’m hearing two opposites sides of arch. Some say that Arch is not as stable and only for experienced users who already know linux…while you’re telling me it’s so stable I won’t need any help. What? 😖
I’m running Linux mint on a spare SSD and steam games won’t even launch for me right now (yes I enabled proton) Someone told me here Mint is the most “windows” like and best distro for new users…I’m conflicted on if I should try arch
I’ve also heard of Nobara that’s gamer focused but I’m worried that it’s a custom build, support won’t be widely available as more mainstream distros should I need help
No you’ve definitely been a great help…in convincing me to give arch a try
