After my previous post (here: https://lemmy.world/post/16593726 ), I took some of the advice I got and switched over to Bazzite for the time being. After some very minor tinkering, Elden Ring launches and runs great other that a very tiny amount of stuttering....

No surgery needed. Just insert the ElonDongle into your rear port to upgrade your ElonOS. The process might be a bit stretchy, be patient and don't remove the ElonDongle before it finishes the load to avoid unwanted residue leaking out of the port.
I'm pretty comftable with linux mint right now but i want to peruse the wares so to speak, what are some cool or interesting distros that do things differently than mint?...
"Sorry guys, Elon is experiencing technical difficulties, please remain patient while we bugfix his Neuralink and then update it to Evil Overlord OS v0.2 alpha to his Neuralink"
Linux is open source, anyone can grab the code and distribute their own Linux distro, some of them are community Maintained, some are backed by big companies. Some of them are based on another distro and they change stuff, a spin off of sorts. Think of Linux as a big waterfall which then is forked into several rivers, and then forked into more rivers. Each river has it's own characteristics, which some come from upstream and some others are their own.
There are four big players: Debian, Ubuntu (which is based on Debian), Fedora and Arch. Then you have POP OS and Linux Mint which are based on Ubuntu, but they change stuff to make it even easier to use, specially for Nvidia users.
In Linux, everything works out of the box because every driver is part of the core of Linux called the Linux Kernel. Except for Nvidia, for which you need their own non-open source, proprietary driver. Installing that driver manually is much harder than on Windows, so that's why everyone recommends a distro that ships with Nvidia drivers out of the box.
I don't know how they will behave with double touchscreens. Try some distros and report back please.
OS
All major Linux distros have no ads
For a PC with Nvidia GPU, pick a distro that ships with Nvidia drivers. Like POP OS & Linux Mint.

Now, my take:
I love GNOME's UX/UI because it's amazingly intuitive for me, but it's underlying tech is inferior to KDE, for gaming purposes. That's why I use KDE, but I miss GNOME every day.

A popular way of dealing with discussions, and familiar to most people, I assume. As far as I see it, adding a poll system to Lemmy is a good way to enhance user engagement. I'm not really aware if this has been a topic before or not, tried looking it up but didn't see much juice on the topic, so thought I'd spark it up....
Just got a steam deck and immediately checked out the desktop mode, and I was somewhat surprised to see KDE and pacman as opposed to GNOME and apt, I have nothing against the former though a strong preference for the latter, anyone know why Volvo went in this direction?
Arch gets faster driver updates, KDE is faster at developing Wayland protocol implementations.
Edit: Valve gets their desired stability by turning Arch into a point release distro through image based releases. And, the system is practically unbrickable since it's immutable. So, in summary it's the best of both rolling release and point release models. By best, I mean for gaming.
I understand your comment if you have an Nvidia GPU and/or if you don't do any gaming, but if you have an Intel or AMD GPU and you play games, Wayland is just better. VRR, HDR, Fractional Scaling, Nvidia Reflex (for all GPU brands), in GameScope (wayland compositor made by Valve) you can have FSR, upscaling, on all games. It's even better than on Windows. And if you use Bazzite, all is set up for you out of the box, you don't need to be an experienced Linux user to use all of the above tech. Just like on the Steam Deck.
Pardon me if I'm using a derogatory term in an incorrect way, english is not my 1st language. With Woke, I wanted to convey the message of Disney shoehorning girl power in a forceful or artificial way. In contrast to for example all Alien movies where it works perfectly. I don't mean that women should not be protagonists at all. Sorry if that's how my post reads like. Maybe I should have worded it better.
I'm not a right wing extremist, sorry for wording my post. But I stand by my mistake, that's why I won't edit my post. I saw the movie on D+, and I thought everything about it was fake. The Xmen movies had almost all the same ingredients, and while some of them where better than others, all of them felt honest to me. I didn't feel like they were riding on values in order to sell. The Marvels just felt artificial to me.
I agree with you on all points. But I feel like Disney did it only for the money. Lots of my favorite movies have strong female casts or leads, like Alien, Contact, Arrival, Star Wars, Anime: Ghost in the Shell, Nausicaa, Mononoke and more. But I felt those movies were honest.
I don't have anything against a primarily female cast, or gemder-swapped Dar-Benn at all. I don't care about that. I just felt the movie was fake in spirit.
I'm sorry if I have offended you by misusing the word "woke" which I now know it's meaning, and secondly if I have expressed myself in a demeaning manner against a movie you enjoyed. My first mistake was out of ignorance, the latter mistake is of bad etiquette, and I apologize for that. I hope this post can convey my opinion in a more respectful manner, beyond our opposing point or views or not, i really value healthy discussion and the exchange of point of views as I enjoy learning, and even more so with well educated people like you, well versed in a topic (in this case, comic-books).
Thank you for taking the time to reply to my post (that I now understand looked like a right wing extremist's opinion 🤣) and sharing your point of view with me.
Xmen is a great example, there are men, women, and everyone in between, just like real life. When there's an only alpha macho team, it feels like The Expendables movie... similarly, an all female cast, seems equally forced.
Another great example is Star Trek, I love Strange New Worlds, there's an episode where they are all forced to sing and it's so, so good. It was amazingly executed, wonderfully hilarious, the press praised it. Star Trek has an all ethnically encompassing roster of binary, non-binary human and extraterrestrial characters alike, orders of magnitude in comparison to The Marvels, and I haven't even thought about questioning any of it. In fact I just realized this now, when writing this reply.
I agree with you on the pacing, and I believe it may have to do with that. Like there's no build up, not enough justification as to why are we seeing what's on screen. I think this may be why I believe there's pandering, because it's all unjustified. The scene in Endgame would be unthinkable in Xmen, why would they group up by gender? It's crazy if you think about it.
Quantumania is so bad on so many levels, I don't know where to start. Eternals is so bland and forgettable, I feel bad for the cast, most are very good actors. I didn't know anything about what you mention, but I didn't find it pandering. It was just weak on all fronts.
I absolutely agree on this:
I enjoyed them for what they were, people bringing my childhood comics to life.
This is why I keep watching bad Marvel movies after another 🤣
Regarding this:
I should not have assumed the worst of you
I do hope you'll reconsider the use of the term "woke"
First of all, you did not. It was 100% my fault for using a word I didn't really understand it's meaning. And I learned that and much more about Marvel, thanks to you. I really appreciate that you paused to look beyond the first post and tried to understand. You're awesome, and I'm glad there are people like you on Lemmy. Thanks a lot for taking the time to discuss and enrich my English and Marvel knowledge.
