Maybe but I just download the flatpak from the discover store. I’d check the documentation or their website

No you will need to use rpm-ostree and ujust for console commands

I’ve been toying with Linux since 2011 and this is the first easy no maintenance Linux. I’ve been running it for a year and a half without any needs to reset or urge to distro hop

I just use Bazzite because it’s Fedora with all the gaming tweaks preinstalled (including NVIDIA drivers and displaylink drivers for docks). Best part is it’s immutable so you can’t mess it up irreparably by deleting something or putting some random commands into terminal. This doesn’t quite answer your question but since you mentioned this is for a roommate who is switching from w10, I figured I’d chime in with my usual shilling.

Shadow of Mordor is a terrific game.

Another glowing review for Bazzite. I use it as my laptop OS because I just want things to work and don’t really need to configure things in the system. I have a proxmox cluster with a couple nodes for that sort of stuff

Oh I don’t blame you. BG3 is a loooong game. And it’s so good 😊

I’ve been bouncing around Linux distros since 2007.

I’ve been a big Ubuntu fan but Bazzite has absolutely blown me away, especially for gaming. Everything just works out of the box. No tweaking, no driver installations, no troubleshooting.

My multi monitor display and dock with peripherals (including webcam and wireless headset) just works with a single USB connection on the dock.

Call me a shill for bazzite but if you are just using the pc like a windows user would to play games, you won’t go wrong with it. I could basically say the same for any Ubuntu or Fedora distro but from my experience, those require some tweaking for everything to work nice.

I just use original textures. I’m sure there’s a texture pack that mimics Minecraft but I haven’t bothered

That’s my bad. It’s Mineclonia that you want. I confused the names since Mineclonia is a fork of Mineclone2. You can also check out Voxelibre. Apparently it’s also a clone.

There’s no GitHub link, the add-on is inside Minetest when you search all available community plugins. Just type “mineclone” into the search bar and you’ll find two plugins. I use Mineclonia but Voxelibre is another one. Haven’t tried it though so can’t recommend.

It’s a nice shot of nostalgia if you’ve dropped out of Minecraft for a while. I didn’t realize how hard the game was haha. Died so many times just trying to build a base.

Had wood floors down and came back onto the server to find a lightning storm caused a fire and burnt down all my trees and exposed wood floors 😭

With the current fork of Mineclone 2 it’s identical to Minecraft (Mineclonia).

I’ve had some good success just playing old games in a Windows XP virtual machine. Doesn’t need much resources and if you set up file share between your regular OS and your virtual machine, you can download the ISOs and load them as virtual disk drives. Easy peasy installation without any WINE configuration or emulators.

I loved Porsche unleashed. Played the absolute crap out of it and learned some German words!

Just goes to show how valuable data is. They’ll do anything to siphon it off you.

LLMs are seriously dope and the technology behind AI is incredible, but using it for everything isn’t appropriate. I’d like a place to ask a chatbot stuff. I don’t wanna be surrounded in it.

I just hate all the distractions and news clickbait stuff in the start menu. I use a computer to do tasks and browse media at my own discretion. Get the actual hell out of my face with forced infotainment consumption.

I’m proud of you! I recently bought a new laptop and it came with Windows 11. I heard all sorts of crap about it but I wanted to see for myself.

So many basic settings changes (that I’d use fairly often) went from 1-2 clicks to 3-5. They tried so hard to make it look like a mobile OS that they lowered its usability for anyone who doesn’t just use it as an express lane to Google Chrome.

Anyways rocking Ubuntu with Wayland and am happier to troubleshoot little bugs every now and then than put up with spyware.

Note to self: block porn so my future kids get employable skills.
