    Other day I was listening to piso 21 – a Colombian music group – on my Ubuntu, and their Ubuntu album came to queue. Seeing this album cover inspired me to make this meme. hope you all like it.

    there are a lot of orange, blue and, purple distros which I couldn't include. so, sorry for that.

    distro names:

    1. red: edubuntu, armbian
    2. yellow: ubuntu kylin, linux lite, ubports, voyager
    3. bodhi linux, linux mint, ubuntu mate
    4. pop os, (I forgot this bird one), KDE neon, zorin os

    image transcription:
    cover image of piso 21's ubuntu album, which has four singers in four quadrants. each quadrant has a coloured brush streak. from top clockwise: red, yellow, blue, green. superimposed on them are logos of various ubuntu-based distros/flavours, according to their colours.

    I've always enjoyed regular Ubuntu but Linux Mint is a favorite. I'd install that before anything else. I've used both on my school laptops with great success. I'd use Linux as the default if it wasn't for gaming, which is why school laptops (laptops owned by me, used for school) are the perfect use case.

    +1 for Linux Mint

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    These days gaming on linux is pretty good, lots of games run better than on windows. Typically the only thing that doesn't work (on release, often afterwards it gets fine) is (shitty) DRM/anticheat like denuvo.

    That's what I've heard. Maybe I'll give it another shot one day, I just lack the time.

    They are correct 100%. 99% of things work without issue or with minor fixes. (protondb.com for any issues you have.) I recently switched from Windows to Linux myself and ended up going with Mint.

    Thanks for the reassurance! I'll definitely have to do some testing

    I've been running ubuntu and then pop_os for a couple of years now and honestly, I'm surprized how much stuff just works out of the box.
    There are times when I need to tinker with the OS to make one thing or another work properly, but proton DB is quite a good resource for that. And I like it so it's not a big deal if I need to spend an hour messing around with the configurations.

    [–] larsloveslegos 2 points 1 year ago

    I'm not as lucky when it comes to figuring out problems. I've had bad luck with pop_os, at least when I tried it a few years ago. I'm impressed with proton DB in how far it has come but I don't have much experience with it.

    do you use windows for your gaming machine?
    i had to install it on a family laptop because of some apps that worked on windows only. I wanted to install a locked-down version of it and came across reviOS. it's a stripped down version of windows with cruft removed. it was very very fast(almost comparable to my Debian machine). perhaps it'd be of interest to you if you're into privacy. An alternative to that is winutil, which is basically a script to debloat windows.

    I'll have to look into those and experiment on VMs. Thanks for the info! I used to use Windows 10 LTSC and it worked great, but I wanted the Microsoft Store to experiment with ray tracing in Bedrock Edition of Minecraft as SEUS's PTGI wasn't free at the time. I use Windows 11, I'm familiar with debloating the OS since Windows 10 came out. Usually I use Spybot Anti-Beacon 1.6 and WinAero Tweaker. I then remove all the useless apps I can with a script :)
