This is for real the Linux desktop year for me, went through the switch just before the new year. Had to reinstall a couple times but no big deal, and I get to learn as well.

Not sure if out-of-the-box distros are now that user friendly yet or not, but I remember getting Ubuntu running several years ago was frustrating (no sound, bad sound quality etc) and now running EOS was pretty smooth. Pretty sure something like Mint will be user friendly enough for the general population.

It’s actually pretty good! I made it several times when I was a kid. It will curdle a little bit though…

So the article from valve is to support those who use NTFS anyway, but if I’m formatting the lib drive as BTRFS, it should be buttery smooth? (Probably not that smooth but gotta make the pun)

Thanks for the recommendation, will definitely look into this!

I see, you’re probably right…I remember trying mounting ext4 drive on Windows and couldn’t get it to work. I’ll probably experiment a little with NTFS, maybe the devs have worked it out? But I’ll keep your warning in mind. Thanks for the input!

I see…that could probably affect a shared steam library I guess? I’m aiming to use almost exclusively though, wish me luck!

Glad you’re happy with EOS, I hope it will fit me as well.

While I don’t have technical issues with Windows so far… they are obviously having a massive FOMO at the shitty cash-grab business model of many tech platforms (especially with the rumor of Win 12…) and I’m not OK with that.

Thanks for your reply! That’s reassuring.

Yes, it’s already a bit shitty, so it’s time to be an active part of the Linux community. Year of the Linux desktop amirite!

Holy cow, eh…

And his sandals.

Ha, yeah fair point.

It’s just a prototype for the steering system, but the prelude looks pretty good
