Bazzite (ublue fedora kinoite derivative). Distrobox lets you install containerized alternate OSes, so you install stuff there, isolated from the main OS. If something breaks, you can just blow it away and start again without affecting bootability etc. Such is the beauty of immutable operating systems.
Yeah, I was younger then, perhaps less disciplined, and as always, given enough work you can decompile or regenerate anything. Still, I contend, the nature of Perl, powerful as it was, lent itself to unmaintainable messes, and I’m not talking regex’s, which is why it has faded, no amount of get gud withstanding.
I upvoted you because I consider Perl write only (used to know it, now it inspires readable code as a high priority)
Eh, that moment when you get a different error message tho ;)
Your use case seems fine, all of that works (in flatpak). FWIW wouldn’t consider bazzite particularly gaming-centric, although it’s good at it, it’s immutable fedora with add-ons, so it has all of fedora behind it. The ublue project also has non-gaming variants. I’m a dev, but I have it on my desktop as I game, still develop on it (in distroboxes (basically containers with an OS, I mostly dev in Arch for AI stuff for example, but my main OS doesn’t get touched by my random mucking about)). Have a poke around in my history, I’ve said a bit on it, I find it good…Feel free to question later.
You don’t say what else other than gaming you want to do, so it’s harder to advise. Still, consider bazzite KDE, easy, stable, relatively close to the bleeding edge without all the cuts, everything you need for gaming in the tin.
Hardest of all is making AI that realistically plays like a human does.
However it is being worked on and coming along, you can play one here
Yeah, keyword list would be awesome.
I have a personal bunch of communities as is allowed and occasionally jump to main when I run out of content. Usually see something I regret, often Trumpian, amusing but depressing. Maccas window Trump etc. Will code for relief if it’s not too (ironically) political.
I put the fires out.
You made them worse.
Worse…, or better.
Love me some Zim.
For what seems to be your use case, it should be good or better (AMD helps) and everything you need is in the tin. There are a couple of gotchas, and the doco could be better if you’re a dev, but if you’re just gaming you’ll be fine.
Try to avoid using rpm-ostree install (it’s dog slow and slows updates, you’re building an OS image after all) instead first try flatpak and then create a fedora distrobox (or arch or whatever, but fed is most in line with the base install) and dnf install from inside that (and then export to the main OS, keep it clean and it’ll be stable).
ujust update rocks, but it updates automatically in the background (there’s at least two OS images at all times, so in the unlikely event it breaks you just revert), so don’t forget to reboot every now and then, weekly at least for security reasons.
Go here for questions, there’s a discord too if you like that sort of thing. Have fun!
Aye, to each their own. I went the other way, Arch -> Fedora -> Immutable Fedora, because I was sick of tinkering and wanted stability ;}
I’ve had a couple of things mess up, usually nvidia related (egregiously sleep, and I like sleeping my desktop), but because it’s immutable I just revert the entire OS and come back to current in a few weeks, and it’s good (not the best security-wise, but my use-case is pretty sanguine). That’s one of immutable positives. Bazzite natively supports 6 months reversion, or in a pinch you can go back to Silverblue/Kinoite.
Been around since at least early Final Fantasy / Chrono Trigger SNES era (for some values of action). Maybe Atari ‘Adventure’.
I know, right!
