From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Here is Fedora's upstream graph to compare:
Upstream, the Fedora KDE Plasma edition is also doing well. Nice to see that within the first release after promotion to a full edition.
Started my EndeavoursOS gaming PC. Oh no, my new-Steam lists the game as windows only?
Proceeds to install proton and related software and bam, I can game.
I know it's not Bazzite but there is sure as hell little reason not to use Linux any more except for enterprise computers and laptops.
Steam installs proton on its own when you just click the button insettings so you don't even need to install proton. Just works
I had 3 files installed and one was proton when I downloaded my first game.
I started with EndeavourOS as well (but have since switched to Bazzite). Enjoy, it was a fun time :)
Man. Props to the team. At least from my perspective (I'm not into distro hoping anymore) they came out of nowhere and people absolutely loved them. I should give them a test on a VM, specially since I've been recommending against them because I didn't think they are a good fit for llinux newcomers
Bazzite cured my desire to distro hunt ever again
Real
Gonna install CachyOS tomorrow.
I know I'm late but ...
spoiler
It took me a while to backup all my game saves and memes from Windows 10 because Proton Drive limits you to 2GB unless you pay and if you don't pay your subscription they delete your email address. Could've gone with another provider but I was due for a spring cleaning anyway.
I was also trying to get through my Itch library to save me the hassle of figuring out how to work Lutris but then the Steam Next Fest came and I gave up on clearing my backlog since I have a hard deadline of the next Steam Hardware Survey.
Booted up Bazzite and everything just worked except League of Legends anticheat and Linux SteamVR. Supposedly SteamVR got patched. So League is the last thing keeping me on Windows 11. Could probably boot to Win11 as needed anytime I want to though
Yeah vanguard fucked up linux compatibility...
I started trying out Bazzite yesterday and it’s been great so far! HDR is not as simple to get working as their marketing would make you think, but once you know what to do it’s not so bad.
Al’s I’m having trouble getting OpenRGB working correctly.
But other than that it’s been pretty good. It’s harder to tweak than Ubuntu (what I was previously using) but works much much better out of the box.
If you're on a Gigabyte mobo openRGB may not work at all.
It’s working for just setting static colors, but when I try to install plugins it doesn’t show up at all. I wanted to use HardwareSync and maybe Effects.
What happened the 3rd week of April? Fedora got a massive spike there. The other one has a small bump at that time as well
Lemmy has a similar number of active users and makes about 3K . That money would be good for the ecosystem and could help fund upstream projects (I am sure wine could use the money for example). But they will have to use fundraising methods similar to lemmy to reach that number (popup, good message etc)
The donate page is kinda a mess IMO to be honest. There should be one organisation to donate to otherwise this creates overchoice.
That's amazing. Been using it for 6 months, loving it.
I'm surprised Aurora is so low on the list. I've been loving it on my Dev laptop. Huuuuge improvement over Ubuntu. It feels so much snappier, ironically.
this is the distro I am hoping to switch to.
