This is one of the coolest things about Universal Blue OSs like Bazzite. You can very easily roll your own custom OS based off of one of their images. And it’s all automated.

I feel like that’s the best of both worlds. Extreme customizability and standardization.

I haven’t thought about Fear Factory in a long time.

I can’t believe Valve is creating a fully immersive VR Stardew dating mod with realistic interactive sex scenes.

Socialize the costs. Privatize the profits.

That’s not how these OSs work. You’re thinking in terms of traditional distros.

Think of it like this. With an image-based OS like Bazzite, whenever you do an update or you switch between different flavors, it’s like completely wiping the system directories and reinstalling them fresh, while leaving the user directories alone.

So you’re not removing GNOME or KDE. It’s like they were never installed in the first place.

To spread the love, basically.

Aurora sitting down there at the bottom of the desktop OSs. I’d love to some of the Bazzite users migrate to Bluefin or Aurora.

If you’re not aware, switching between different Universal Blue OSs is super easy, with one caveat. Switching from a GNOME OS to a KDE OS or vice versa is problematic.

I’m a huge fan of Aurora, the least popular ublue desktop OS. Bazzite is great, too. But I prefer Aurora.

Hell, even my wife uses it and has no complaints.

I guarantee I will never use this information. But thank you anyway.

I guarantee it will.

Defenestration.

Java isn’t an exciting language, sure.

Kotlin is, though.

I love the vertical task bar in KDE. It does exactly what I want it to, and that’s so refreshing.

Sadly I’m in this boat. We use Oracle database and have stored procedures all over the place. For us, the cost to convert everything would probably be huge.

I’d love to switch to PostgreSQL.

There are subjective reasons to not like Mint just like there are for every distro.

I, personally, would not use Mint. But it’s great for a lot of folks.

There’s nothing wrong with Mint and there’s never been a better time to move to Linux.

There is a better way. Instead of compiling when you launch the game, you can enable background processing of shaders. This will happen while you’re not gaming. If you don’t do other stuff on that computer while you’re not gaming and it is turned off or asleep instead, it might not help.

I had some issues with Bazaar, but it’s easy to switch back to Discover or back to Bazaar.

People think I’m crazy to not claim free games from Epic. I don’t, and won’t even have an account on that cursed platform.
