I’ve been daily driving linux since around 2002, but not for gaming initially. I switched to it fully about 5-6 years ago and havent’t looked back.

Compared to the trash Windows is? I’d rather “suffer” through 2 sessions switching really.

For me this is usually solved by opening another tty session (e.g ctrl+alt+f3 ) and going back to F2 or simply restarting the login manager service.

Might be a different issue thought.

“anyone who gets into your PC while you are logged in and your data is unencrypted can see much of what you have been doing.”

This just makes your entire post irrelevant, not to mention you keep reposting it.

Bro, your post is a fart in the wind.

For sure, an ActivityPub video platform that is not TikTok like (i.e Loops) would be amazing.

Sure, except that I had some bad experiences with multiple DEs installed on the same distro(Arch in my case) because of dependencies and upgrades causing a havoc on the system and cleaning up was a sizable pain.

Thank you for the info, appreciate it. Yeah, I guess I’m expecting bugs on Cosmic.

My hardware is decent, definitely more than enough for Plasma, but I sometimes get bored and distrohopping isn’t doing much for me, at least not as much as a DE would, which is why I’m curious.

I will give it a try in a VM, but doubt I’d be able to reproduce the same workflow on a VM as on host.

Yes, I meant “DE” indeed. Habit I guess…

Sure, a VM would be the easiest indeed. I’ve watched some older Cosmic videos and it was far from being ready, so I couldn’t even be bothered with it, but seeing it grow and actively being worked on, has picked my interest again.

How does this compre to plasma or gnome 3 now? Given I’m a plasma user and I don’t really like gnome 3, would this be a fresh take on IDEs, worth trying a new arch install on?

Honestly I don’t mind pitching in with my data for such project, if it’s opt-in.

I do the same with my Kde Plasma and bump up the telemetry. If it’s in good faith and it helps the project grow, I don’t mind contributing(plasma also alows you to turn it completely off if you so choose).

Microsoft gets nothing in good faith, so I never give them anything.

I fail to see the point of this.

“The Open Gaming Collective (OGC) is building a unified set of gaming-focused components used across the Linux ecosystem.”

So, like, a meta package? I don’t understand this, as a linux user. And the projects mentioned on their homepage are…nieche at best.

Can someone explain to me how this would benefit linux gamers and freedom of choice on linux?

Edit: wording.

Linus. He’s proved on more than one occasion he should stick to windows as he’s not willing to use linux, so anything coming out of his mouth regarding any linux topic should not be taken seriously.

The worst linux noob giving advice about linux stuff? no thanks

100% agree. I’ve tried NixOs with Home Manager for a couple of weeks and it’s very nice, however it not very useful to me and went back to Arch eventually. I just don’t see any benefit to using it over vanilla arch with Flatpak, Bubblewrap or Landlock, besides reproducibility.

Brave, the reskinned Chrome with integrated selective adblocker, featuring obscure crypto garbage. What a great browser, yeah…
