Hey guys, so I installed Bazzite on my 2nd SSD last weekend and I've installed some games and searched through the OS to familiarize myself with it, but I still have a few questions about Bazzite and Linux in general that I'd like some help with! I've used Ubuntu and Linux mint in the past (2014ish) just to mess around with but...
Thank you very much for the detailed response, it's very helpful! Browsing through the discover store is actually fun, like the good old days of checking out random programs on windows before everything went to shit.
Thank you, I'll look into that and see if that works for me!
Yes I'm trying to install the Plex media server app so that I don't have to boot back into windows whenever I or my family wants to use Plex. I don't have a dedicated server so I just install it on my main pc. Still haven't figured out how to get it installed tbh, any help on that front would be much appreciated!
I'm perfectly fine with that, in fact I'd like to learn more about how to use the terminal in detail cause I find it fun. Part of why I switched to Linux is because I'm bored of Windows, among many other issues it has these days. Learning a new OS is fun, I'm enjoying my time with Linux so far.
You're the 2nd person to bring up my choice of Bazzite, I don't have much installed yet so I'm open to switching to another distro if that'll make things easier for what I want my system to do. I almost installed Endeavour OS but ended up going with Bazzite because I've heard that Arch distros can be a pain to keep up, but I'm speaking out of ignorance, I still know barely anything about Linux.
Basically I want something at least somewhat stable for a Linux noob, but I don't want something like Ubuntu or Linux mint, I'd prefer a more "intermediate" distro over a beginner one like the previously mentioned distros. Building Arch from scratch is a bit much for me for example, but I don't want it overly simplified either. What would you recommend for a distro?
I'm kinda mixed on it so far, I feel like I should've gone with something like Endeavour OS or something similar. Using a more commonly used distro would simplify troubleshooting and provide a bigger user base to siphon information from. I don't have any problems with Bazzite but I'm kinda feeling like I'm missing out by not using something a bit more complex tbh.
I've read about rpm-ostree and my impression is I'd rather not use it to install anything if I can avoid it, which also feeds into my desire to use a different distro.
Bazzite comes pre-installed with distrobox and boxbuddy, I'll need to put more effort into learning how to use it. I've read up on the basics of it but I haven't yet put in the effort to fully understand that program.
I'll check out that video, thank you for the link. I also wanted to say that you've been a massive help and I greatly appreciate all of your help that you've provided me! Thank you!
The worst is when you're dead tired all day and struggling to stay up after work till it's late enough to sleep, then when the time comes to go to bed....
That's the thing that people who want flavour bans don't get, it helps people quit cigarettes cause it tastes good and gives you your nicotine. Yes it's more appealing to kids as well but if flavours get banned then more kids will just start picking up cigarettes again cause they're dumb kids(I was one too, no shade) and want to look and feel cool, and if their friends are doing it then there's a good chance they will too.
Idk what the solution is but banning flavours is just gonna push people back to actual tobacco which is absolutely worse than vapes. Kids are gonna use nicotine no matter how much or a fuss people make or how hard you regulate it, a flavour ban isn't gonna make things any better and will piss off a lot of people that aren't kids, including me.
Fuck off and let me poison my lungs with fruity vapour if I want, that's basically my retirement plan at this point anyways is lung cancer or liver failure.

But he uses the right buzz words, just gotta say "I'm not Trudeau" "that's woke" and "evil LGBTQ agenda" etc and the right will eat it up like pigs eating slop out of a trough.
r/Canada is such a fucking shithole these days, it's never been good, but it's insane how badly that sub is astroturfed these days. I'd be shocked if more than a quarter of regular commentors there are even Canadian or have even been here.
I upvoted already but I just wanted to add that this is an awesome reply and I appreciate the information. I grew up in the guitar hero days so I heard a lot of both good and bad about dragonforce but I never bothered to follow up after the hype died down.
Where's the line? Should normal people also not be able to have German Shepard's since they're also dangerous if not raised properly? I had a GS in the past and she was one of the best dogs I've ever had, amazing and funny personality and insanely loveable. But that's because she was brought up in a house where she was treated right and raised right.
Blame the dumbass owners not the dogs themselves ffs. Just because you or someone else is scared of certain dogs doesn't mean they should be blanket banned for everyone.
Same here, mushrooms are the one thing I never grew out of hating. Everything about them is disgusting to me from the weird texture, the way they look, and the mouldy/dirty taste they have. Mushrooms are pretty much the only food I 100% refuse to eat no matter what.
Having dropped New Vegas in the past due to lost interest, I decided to try this game out finally since a friend of mine was having a fallout 3 playthrough himself. It was it 8 bucks, so I figured why not. I have to say, I put way more hours into this game than both other Bethesda games I've played through (Skyrim and Oblivion)...
Fallout 4 kind of in a weird place where it's simultaneously a bad Fallout game and arguably the best Bethesda game.
Thank you
That's how I've described fallout 4 since it first came out. Nice to see someone else had the same thought. It's a great game and I've put a ton of time into it and I play through it every 2 years at most.
But it's really not a great fallout game. The game overall is excellent but it feels the least fallout-y, to me at least.

Tbh if he had to try anywhere near that hard to deflect, that would be an improvement in and of itself. As it is, the 2 major parties aren't gonna do shit about them even if they straight up said they're trying to maximise profits at the expense of the common Canadian.
Liberals and Cons are just 2 sides of the same shitty coin. Unfortunately a ton of Canadian's think voting for the NDP is "socialism" and it doesn't help that Singh doesn't seem to be particularly popular.
The unfortunate state of Canada really fucking sucks.

I've been lurking for a few weeks now but finally made an account and I'm really liking it here. Less content but higher quality is preferable to tons of content but most of it is garbage like on reddit.
My main complaint is the fediverse isn't big enough to have a lot of activity on the more niche communities so I find myself going to reddit for a few of those subs still but only on my desktop so I can use old reddit and block ads.
Gonna try and contribute more here since it's much less toxic and noisy than reddit is.

Interesting how artists don't make enough money from their creations, so our solution is to make certain information illegal to share, rather than give them a universal basic income.
