Been running Fedora since June of last year, and it's the most "boring" distro I've ever used. It's been rock solid and I haven't experienced a single issue. None! I have an all-AMD build. The funny thing is that I recently installed Ubuntu 23.10 on a different PC, and I managed to break it after a couple of hours 😂

Been using Linux on and off since 2008 (ish).

Yt-dlp is also available on Windows. No reason to spin up wsl or a Linux distro. There are also plenty of yt-dlp apps with GUI for those who don't want to use a terminal.

Why? Are we not doing enough? in c/[email protected]

Hah! If I ever mention that I use Windows, Chrome, and I subscribe to YouTube Premium, I'll be publicly hanged on Lemmy. If you don't use Linux, Firefox, and host your own Plex serv... sorry, Jellyfin server, then you're scum. And don't let me start on politics, and especially Israel v. Hamas. Jews should be deathly afraid of a lot of people around here.

All of this has made me less active on Lemmy, and I've started to use Reddit again, albeit a lot less than before. And I do in fact use Fedora, Firefox and host my own media server, but I'm not being an ass about it.

Personally prefer

apt install /path/to/package.deb

Both do the exact same thing, though.

Forza Motorsport has released on Steam in c/games

I just checked r/Forza (yes, I just had to!) and booooy are people struggling with this game on PC. This might be one of the worst optimized PC releases of 2023, with a bunch of bugs and glitches included. Easily up there with the Last of Us, and maybe even worse.

Windows: we noticed that you kept the useless search bar disabled since 2015, so we sent an update that re-enabled it without your permission in c/mildlyinfuriating

Yeah, same shit happened on my (W10) laptop today (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻

Luckily, I rarely have to deal with this shit since I daily drive Fedora on my desktop PC, and only dual-boot into W11 when I want to play games on Game Pass.

Intel is releasing the ARC A580. Does it have a place? in c/pcmasterrace

Good god this game needs A LOT of work and patches. Runs like absolute shit, shaders are buggy and shitty looking, textures look like something from the PS3 era, VRAM leak, etc etc.

On the bright side, driving physics is great, and I find the whole progression stuff good. Racing is fun. The rest of it needs a bunch of work, though. Gonna wait it out a bit until they've patched it a couple of times, or fifteen.

Just ran dnf upgrade (Fedora) and it upgraded some packages and then the alphabet died.

Closing and opening it again "fixed" it, so nothing to worry about, but I've never ever experienced this before, lol.

"You should migrate to Linux" (self.linux_gaming)

Dual-booting Windows 11 and Fedora 38. Gaming on Win 11 is, as expected, most times great. I want to migrate to Fedora and use it as a daily driver, and while it does a damn good job at doing just that, it's disturbingly aweful at gaming. I've installed Steam and I set out to try a couple of games to see what it would handle.

It should be noted that I'm not a hardcore gamer, and I've historically not gamed on PC (but PS and Xbox), so I don't have quite the extensive library of games on Steam like many others do. I've got Game Pass, but that won't help me here. Anyhow... the games I've tried to run are games that I currently have on Steam.

Hardware:

CPU: Ryzen 5 4600G
GPU: RX 6700 XT
RAM: 32 GB 3200 MHz
SSD: 4 TB M.2
I expected Civilization VI to run fine, and... it did. although anti-aliasing decided not to work.
Humankind, does not run. At all.
Broforce does in fact run perfectly fine!
F1 2015 (don't laugh, it was free), does run and it does in fact run at max settings, but the controls (keyboard + xbox) are fucked, so that's also a no go.
Red Dead Redemption 2, hahaha no.
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, hahah no, for some reason.

While I "love" and support "Linux", this doesn't cut it. Why am I even "here"? I've been using "Linux" for at least 15 years (incl. Windows),but if I want to play a God damn fucking game, I want to play it now, not tomorrow, or after I've googled a fucking hack that'll break x amount of shit and take me hours to get running. This is why I'll still use Win 11 as my daily.

Fedora as an OS is smooth, quick AF and I very much like it. Gaming on it? God no.

My point is, while Win 11 is basically "don't worry, it'll run!", Linux (or Fedora at least is "I don't know... maybe?". That won't convince a lot of people, and currently not me.

EDIT: THIS IS WHY LEMMY IS BETTER THAN REDDIT. HUMAN CONVERSATION. THANK YOU ALL
