Oh, that’s what that nipple is called!

At this point it seems like the bug is Windows 11 itself.

A cooling blanket helped me out a lot!

I don’t use it as a primary, but for me it’s been fine for some one-off tools.

My PC is the same build and I run Kinoite (also KDE). The only major issue I ran into was figuring out how to get a Windows VM up and running for work stuff, but I eventually got it and now that’s working smoothly, too.

The majority of what most people run is available as a Flatpak container, but there’s also rpm-ostree if you want to install packages, which functions similarly to dnf. And you still have rpm if you want to install something manually.

As far as AMD driver support goes, everything’s been working great. Can’t say how it compares to base Fedora, though, but it’s probably similar.

More like game rules: manager needs shiny buzzwords and big number go up. Having something that works fine for 5 years is considered stale and corporate culture is all about useless innovation.

It’s funny how GPT-5 is consistently the worst one, and it’s not even close.

I use Kinoite btw. I thought the idea of an immutable file system was neat but didn’t want to go all-in on just gaming. Even though my gaming experience on Kinoite has been nearly flawless.

Speak for yourself

There’s about to be a lot more surplus hardware since Microsoft arbitrarily decided they can’t update to Windows 11.

Canonical makes plenty of money through corporate partnerships without needing to muddy the basic user experience.

But how would they make money?!

Like a “stepping stone,” a machine that’s mainly used to connect to something else.

I got a new PC a couple months ago, mostly for gaming, and I knew I wanted an immutable distro after hearing about the immutable gaming distros. I went with Kinoite since I have plenty of daily driver stuff I still need to do.

So far, the only big issue I’ve had was figuring out a way to access apps and a desktop for work that I could only get access with the Windows RDP client and a smart card. Eventually, after a lot of digging through docs I was able to work it out by setting up a Windows VM jump box in Virtual Machine Manager with a few additional command line arguments.

Otherwise, no issues at all. The most tweaking I’ve had to do to launch a game so far was picking a different version of Proton.
