I’m sure there’s a guide for it. All you need is either lutris or bottles and flatseal if you’re installing on the SD card.

It’s actually pretty easy with lutris and bottles. The same process that I do on my arch machine works on the decks desktop mode.

The lack of drawing and photo editing software. Krita is nowhere near clip studio paint, darktable in nowhere near light room. I use arch with qtile on my main gaming rig. My surface pro 9 is unfortunately stuck with windows 11.

Surface runs great with fedora and the surface kernel. Unfortunately, the lack of software makes it an expensive tablet/laptop that does nothing special. I could flip the surface and get an IPad pro, but I’m not going the apple route. I’ve been considering the Samsung Galaxy tabs. Those can run clip studio, concepts and some watered-down lightroom app.

Trash guides. It has a a bunch of info on installation, setup and post install. Its a great source of info and step by step guide if you want to use that way. I mean it is a guide after all but very detailed.

I have a 3080 with a 5900x at 1440p under arch and the game runs very poor, nowhere near as it should. It’s just not an optimized game.

God dam dude!!!

I switched to arch using qtile wm a few months ago. Couldn’t be happier. If a game doesn’t run on my rig either though stream or lutris well I just don’t play it, there’s way more games to discover and play.

It’s a great time to game on linux. I my personally use arch and everything works fine for the games I play be it with steam and lutris. I also have an nvidia 3080 and it works fine.

I recommend pop! Os for your first distro. It’s a very good distro that is newb friendly and it’s ready to go from the first boot.

It’s a perfect time to get your toes wet and there’s plenty of places to get help when your stuck. The popos subreddit is full of people with the knowledge to help and most important here at lemmy.
