The only upside for windows is the few games not supported on linux work and I get 21:9 4k 180hz over hdmi, but im better off using 21:9 1440p 60 with my current dying gaming laptop that heats up way too fast. I play beamng and don’t and it’s stable around 50fps anyways, will swap to display port with my next pc so windows fr is only around for iracing and wrc, I wish more ppl would swap to push these games to support it.

I swapped back (250gb paritition on my 2nd internal ssd) for iracing and a few other nonsupported games. (and to do some initial hotas setup, moza updates, etc.) It’s wild how slow windows is just in regular use, even opening the settings and clicking stuff takes 5 years while it’s all snappy and fast on linux.

I find shutter encoder easier than handbrake

Crack is very easy on linux, like two terminal commands after downloading officially

I had cachyos for 6 months no issues than the last 6 months it’s been freezing constantly, was fine on an older kernel, but fans and performance mode didnt work, stuck on high or low (could swap on latest rc kernel, but itd freeze) Tried bazzite and so far no freezes (except when using usb c to display port but I had bsod on windows doing that in vr and I think thats just a laptop hardware problem)

Not for a pc, as a kid I couldnt justify consoles but I could justify more expensive pcs/laptops because I could do homework and other sht on them, it runs proctor programs, browsers, and google docs just fine, microsoft online is free too. Libreoffice/onlyoffice are solid too.

It’s not just a console, it could be a college freshmans first pc that is fairly portable.

Valve is working on arm support, would be peak, they dont need the extra cooling

They werent hiding it, they started with vibe

Or no machine, or moonlight + sunshine

No machine was the least laggy, and reminded me of anydesk a bit (I always liked their shortcut menu)

May be better off with a prebuilt pc on sale, most games will prob be fine, maybe not blades and sorcery with hella mods (still not that heavy), or msfs/dcs/etc. but thats more niche I guess.

No complaints with cachyos, it just works, has solid defaults, I like it over alternatives since I like using the aur repos, but honestly now that ive adjusted to linux, all of what I need could be grabbed through a flathub appstore like bazaar/software, any disto works, the performance gains are marginal, don’t really need to use the terminal at all on cachyos, but even less so on other distros, unless you constantlly finnick/tweak and want to be on arch for that purpose, any distros fine and should work pretty much the same, most like mint are much easier to use and setup, since you never feel the need to use the terminal on those.

I think the biggest benefit of cachyos is actually all the des you can install when launching, easy to reinstall and try all the popular ones.

On cachyos gnome it wasn’t immediately obvious how to grab extensions and that they even existed, so at first I was like f this and immeidately swapped to kde, only used it out of necessity because the global menu had issues and it was faster/easier to install another de over reinstalling my os and grabbing my apps again. Then after googling I realized the extension store exists and now I love it, but yeah it was initially off putting, I didn’t have a gnome user around to tell me whats possible or a de with extensions already enabled to view.

kde would prob be a bit more intuitive/easier to customize for a kid, i do prefer gnome my self, I also use wobbly + burn my windows

eh got snapshot and backups on and off pc, if anything goes wrong ill survive and be ready to go in a minute or two, dejadups is lowkey annoyingly slow to load tho

Has to be fake, or he just heard the word flow state somewhere and misunderstood it’s meaning, lol

im sure most of yall know but it was new to me that you can use some terminal commands while installing to activate pro edition and ms office pro and other stuff fairly easily https://github.com/massgravel/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts
