Literally a less than two year old continuation (EndeavourOS) of a distro that had just wound down (Antergos) was my best choice for a almost beginner user who hadn't used Linux from late 2011 to around early 2019 when I distro hopped like crazy.
And now with the Kubuntu 25.04 upgrade issue, I can't go back to standard non rolling releases. These point release distros always feel less stable and behind rolling releases. Except MAYBE Fedora recently.

Linux Mint is why I went to @npub1du2…f6r3. Tuxedo OS didn't exist in 2021, Fedora KDE wasn't as polished as now (Fedora 34 was pretty bad for the KDE then spin), Mint dropped KDE several years prior, Kubuntu was always behind and had been unstable for a long while, as was KDE Neon, and I had never heard of OpenSUSE Tumbleweed in 2021 when I switched (and Zypper back then was slow af).

Obviously, this would have to be repeated for each Steam OS device, which would be a problem, but IDK another way to do it otherwise...

Broken by Developer: Reserved for anti-cheat blocking Linux in general for the entire game, like Apex Legends, Rainbow Six Siege, or Destiny 2.
Currently Broken: Reserved for games that currently don't work but might be fixed in the future and don't have to do with intentionally blocking Linux support.

2025-04-25 16:26:27 CEST

- reply

Bronze: The game is either not playable completely because multi-player is blocked on Linux because of anti-cheat support being disabled by the developer (such as with GTA Online) but parts do work (like GTA V's story mode), or the game requires substantial tweaks just to play in some capacity that most users wouldn't be able to accomplish in a reasonable amount of time.

2025-04-25 16:18:12 CEST

The problem is that once more Steam OS devices arrive, you cant just use ths Steam Deck as the performance benchmark. So I would recommend ProtonDB's approach instead for Linux gaming as a whole:
- Platinum: The game works on Linux with no external tweaks needed. At most, the game needs to have some UI elements tweaked manually by the user or the graphics settings need to be adjusted but can still be played on Linux.

Don't get me wrong, I much prefer the Steam Deck OLED to any other console or handheld I've ever used, but Valve needs to completely rethink this Steam Deck rating system, especially with the Legion Go S with Steam OS and the general release of Steam OS for handhelds coming out soon.
Otherwise, you get stuff like this: A native Linux port of a Windows game from 1994 that is "unsupported" for graphical settings reaspns despite being over 30 years old. Did Valve even open the game!?

The fortunate thing is that NY's public school system (not including the privage college Columbia) seems to be holding strong against this.
The horrifying thing is that these poor kids are being raised in an environment that fosters this MAGA shit and "bible lessons" instead of trying to teach actual school lessons. Except that these "bible lessons" discriminate against non Christian students and are the equivalent of twisting the scripture. Not to say religion isn't like that.

Again, a highly curated desktop that strips a lot of options from the user CAN work, however, it needs to be open to criticism and implement the changes when needed, it needs to be able to execute those options that remain well, and it cannot be pushed as the only option by those enterprise distros.

I have nothing against some projects creating a highly curated experience if and only if they can provide enough of a niche to exist in, execute the niche correctly, and aren't the only option users are able to use and know about.

I never said that that was the right move in every situation. There's absolutely value on focusing on a few options and polishing those options. But when the only option(s) don't cover enough users and that option gets pushed to users, they're going to leave frustrated.
That's one reason imo why Linux failed to gain market share when Windows 8 flopped upon release because the Linux DEs were not in good places. (The other was most apps & games didn't work on Linux back then.)

Personally, I prefer SSD, at least as a fallback. I'm the sadistic person that puts extra window decorations on [@ONLYOFFICE](https://fosstodon.org/@ONLYOFFICE ), the Steam client, and a few other client side decorated apps.
Choice is always good in this case, especially when using tiling window managers or tiling Wayland compsitors. You don't want CSD in that case.
And no, I'm not a tiling user; I use @npub1ncy…3x0q Plasma and I am happy with it. I have nothing against [@gnome](https://floss.social/@gnome ), [@xfce](https://floss.social/@xfce ), [@cosmic](https://squatch.online/@cosmic ), or other DEs or WMs.

Nightglow Blue is awesome. I don't mind Breeze or GTK 3 Adwaita, like you said, but GTK 4 with LibAdwaita is... Not as good. And with that "please don't theme" fad for some GTK apps despite Adwaita Icons breaking other apps in GNOME for a while, it makes me want to learn Qt just to make better KDE apps!

You are 100% correct that governments should stay out of civil rights. The fact that so many decisions made by governments are discriminatory just shows how stupid some people are.
