“The K in KDE stands for Korrect”

You’re goddamn right it does.

Almost guaranteed a Flatpak thing. I know you said X11 versus Wayland was your issue, but likely some quirk of the two window managers was allowing it to work.

Adding the drive path in Flatseal or installing non-Flatpak Steam would likely fix it.

Snap and the stink of Canonical are the reason anything Ubuntu is not an option for me

I am an apt boi as well, but I recently switched to Fedora KDE spin. God has it been a breath of fresh air to have decently updated packages WITH stability on my desktop and laptop.

I’m still Debian all the way for server and “LTS” computers, like my HTPC, but Fedora is killing it overall.

Yeah it’s getting ridiculous.

Pixels so big, you can smell 'em

Know what else supports KVM as a backend? virt-manager

If you want to JUST game, SteamOS is great, like for a handheld, a living room gaming PC, etc.

If you want to do software dev, look elsewhere like Nobara, CachyOS, etc.

Luckily there is no way to install it either.

I mean you can unlock Linux terminal and application access on Chromebooks. I have installed GIMP and Krita on Chromebooks for students that were in art classes.

Does it kind of suck? Yeah.

Neon is great, but don’t use it for mission critical stuff. I’ve had updates brick my system before because it’s bleeding edge for KDE.

Mint is my go-to for when I want something to get work done and don’t want to fuck with it. Biggest gripe is the networking menu in Cinnamon kind of sucks for VLANs and it’s still on X11 until they finish making Wayland stable.

Well the Steam Frame is mostly going to be a streaming headset from a gaming PC with the possibility of running things local, so you’re going to need a gaming PC to run things like HL: Alyx.

Uh…what was that about a snuggle session? LOL.

Also, people kick out others for being on Quest? Why not just launch VR Chat via SteamLink to your Quest? You can launch all SteamVR games via SteamLink to the Quest headset. I have a Quest 2 and use it for pretty much only streaming from my PC over WiFi from my Linux PC.

Glad they optimized it. Last time I tried it the RAM usage was atrocious.

I mean GNOME is…fine. I don’t use it, because if I wanted something that chewed up 3-5GB of RAM I’d just run Windows, but if you like GNOME, you do you.

This is Linux. It’s all about choice. Run what you like. It’s your goddamn computer. And that’s what we all love together.

Anything with Cinnamon Desktop or KDE Plasma is going to be the most ‘Windows-like’ in how the UI works.

If they’re coming from Windows, but they prefer macOS-like interfaces, GNOME or COSMIC fit that bill.

It doesn’t matter what distro you select, for the most part, as Linux is Linux. The only differences are immutable or not, desktop environment, and package management type, for the most part.

That said, Mint, an Ubuntu flavor, Debian, Fedora, openSUSE…all good options.

Year of the Linux desktop!

I think I developed a brain bleed reading this
