I went to Arch and haven't looked back. It's a great distro!
Arch Linux
The beloved lightweight distro
howwwwww. i have a pretty nice amd chip and radeon graphics card, on arch with wayland. i get stuttering, which i read was normal, on my more intensive games like dead space. deep rock galactic i can't play with my friends and it also stutters...what were the small issues you troubleshooted?
My man just went from 0 to hero in one single tap! Nicely done.
It took me like a couple months (4'ish) to start using Arch Linux.
@MrShelbySan I would love to be able to leave Windows for Linux just sadly I can't with needing certain apps like Adobe to be useable on it.
How do you install non-steam games? Specifically Cyberpunk and Eve Online?
lutris. even has a little button to add it to steam.
This is basically the recommended way to install Eve these days.
At one point when they were testing what is now the current launcher it worked flawlessly on Linux because it was based on Qt and they were compiling a Linux binary for it. It fired the game up in Wine and all was great.
They dropped that support fairly quick though sadly once it became the actual new launcher.
Just a heads up, Eve works but it’s pretty flaky. It’s working better then it was a few months ago but I still can’t play more then maybe 15-30 min before it just totally crashes. A lot of time when leaving stations it freezes for awhile and a lot of the game assets don’t seem to always render in. Sometimes opening the menus or settings crashes it, for some reason opening the map and selecting jump points is really bad about causing freezing. Trying it again about a week ago I lost a ship because the game froze then crashed mid fight and when I managed to get back in my ship was destroyed.
That's not really playable then when the risks are as high as they are in Eve. Thanks for the heads-up.
How long have you been using Linux for?
Hey! It's been a long time since I've used it as my main OS, but since Ubuntu 11.04, I've been on and off on Linux. I've tried many distros, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Arch, Manjaro, Antergos, elementaryOS, Fedora, Solus... I've tried pretty much every "mainstream" distro, and always come back to Arch.
You probably want to replace your neofetch with fastfetch from AUR :)
