Will be there soon, games on Steams now like to make sure they're Steam deck compatible, hence Linux compatible. I don't need to play every latest game, so I'm pretty happy with gaming on Linux currently, and I think it will be getting better day by day!

If you aren't playing a lot of MP games, it might be fine to move now, but I agree that it won't be long at this point. I'm considering the same thing for my gaming rig. If Windows gives me particular trouble any time soon, I might make the change.

@@te-weikaigai1836 People like you REALLY need to stop spreading misinformation and false hope. Steam deck compatible DOES NOT mean Linux compatible. It means is compatible with STEAM DECK and at most....Arch that its based on. Doesnt mean its gonna work with the other 57 distros out there, so stop acting like Linux is God or something. Linux gaming is evolving because of Valve, so people need to wait for proton to work with their games, not just whether it has a deck verified tick ffs.

I'm currently running Nobara (based on Fedora 39+KDE Plasma) and it's absurd how spiffy it is on a moderately old i5-8600T 6-core CPU. I do have plenty of RAM and a fast M.2 NVMe SSD though, but still. It's a joy to use. Can't wait to put this or some other Linux on my main PC.

Thanks for the timely video! I still prefer a modified Gnome like Ubuntu but a big fan of Silerverblue/Bazzite with Plasma

Bloat is misguided here. The emergence of the atomic spins means there will be more and more Atomic distros. You didn't even mention, uBlue, Bluefin, Bazzite in the video and some other Vendor specific runs for Asus, Lenovo, Framework laptops.

Atomic Desktops are not unchangeable... The core OS is managed, can be changed and resetted, or changed during the image building process through projects like uBlue.

Currently upgrading from fedora 38 i3 spin. crossing fingers.

I just upgraded to fc40 and am not happy with it. KDE/plasma 6 is a mess. Windows movement not working for some apps like audacious. Copy and paste not working in some important cases. No software update notfifier anymore. Windows decorations missing sometimes. Bash shell cpmletion not working anymore for some apps. The list of problems is way too long. I wonder if QA was doing anything at all.

I’ve never used KDE and had it not be a buggy mess, on any distro. I never recommend KDE to anyone because it just can’t help but break itself with updates, usually in a way that’s pretty annoying for the user lol. Until they stop cramming it full of new features and start polishing it, I’m gonna stay on other DE’s that actually work.

Fedora 40 with KDE 6 is the sweet spot for me i stop ditro hopping, i quit Rolling Release distro /testing them and now I just use fedora. I'm not to keen on this silverblue stuff man as I like to customize my terminal and my desktop like wallpaper and theme so if this silverblue become the default system it will ruin the fun of desktop as I like to make my desktop feel like me .. not some ISO standard desktop... sorry if they change it to silverblue as the main distro iso I will leave fedora as well and have to find another linux again :(

I loved fedora 38 and 39 im sure 40 will be great also, i was surprised you use ubuntu, i understand people choosing lts for stable long term support, but snaps are so slow and clunky, the new 24.04 is apparently going further into just snaps 🤮

@SifatUllah-12

Ай бұрын

You just need to not use snaps, that's all. Moreover, Ubuntu has the best software support because it's by far the most popular linux distribution, so software developers give Ubuntu more priority. That's why I, and many other people prefer Ubuntu for a peaceful computing experience.

" but snaps are so slow and clunky, " ---- well, just not true anymore. Besides...it's Linux. If someone doesn't like Snap installations, can simply avoid using it. Everything is either a dpkg -i, gdebi or a flatpak install away...

All distros have gotten bloated, even the core and small OSes. The earliest GUIs tried to work on 500 Kb, later, 50Mb, up to 500Mb. Now, DSL, that tries to be the smallest distro possible, if finding it hard to have a fully capable desktop experience any lower than 700 Mb. Most of it is due to growing demands in graphics, but most things multimedia, from sound to streaming and broadcasting keep demanding more each upgrade. So it's not completely the fault of OS development because they're trying to keep up pace with both the new hardware and software coming out. Fortunately, it's not near the massive leaps, or at least processors have leveled out when it comes to Ghz speeds, and things have moved towards other optimizations. But memory and RAM requirements keep on growing. The skeleton structures? They probably could render on old 8-bit machines, but not to the quality of graphical details demanded today. So the bloat comes from the layers of detail and complexity we demand of modern computing.

I think the bloat comment is misguided. There will be more and more spins as the Atomic distro catches more attention. uBlue, Bluefin & Bazzite are basically this as well. They were not even listed or mentioned in the video. Think about it, install what/how you want from a custom OSTree. . .

Windows 11 isn't even the best Windows version, let alone "best for PC". Windows 11 is a hot mess.

Now I am experimenting with "live" distros of Linux, hence my interest in this video. If Windows is the answer to future computing, than you have to wonder what the question is. Windows 10 will be my LAST Microsoft OS, and if were feasible, Windows 7 would be....
