Arch adjacent

I game on arch (btw) But honestly I don’t think the distro itself really matters for gaming? Just choose the one you want and give er

There would be no hassle in wiping the drive, you can do it as part of the super easy installation process for any Linux distro. Ideally you would back up any important files and drop them into your fancy new file system once the install is finished. And you can pretty much launch almost any game directly out of steam and it will run. There are a few exceptions for some of those games with anti cheats that rootkit your system, but the majority just work out of the box. Drivers included, but Nvidia might be ever so slightly annoying

No question here, just wanted to highlight that I use arch btw

Oh no worries! Grub is the boot loader. So you turn on the computer and the firmware looks at its list of things to boot from. When you first installed manjaro it booted from the usb and let you install the OS while running off the usb. Usually you would have had to go into the firmware to adjust the boot priority list, and put usb on the top. Now you can go back in and look at that boot priority list again. Now what you’re gonna look for is where manjaro installed grub you can make that the top priority so that next time you reboot it will choose grub, and grub will fire up your linux install. Also in that firmware menu you can look at the other boot options, for example if you have an HP laptop you’re going to need to enable legacy booting because the default secure boot settings sometimes cause issues.

You may need to double check how grub is configured (set it to UEFI if necessary, legacy mode etc) and or updating it. You will want to update the firmware also and try setting grub at the top of the boot list

Edit: hows it going? Everything working ok?

I haven’t tried that exact set up myself but in hyprland the default tiling would have your Elden Ring on one half and your friends the other half. Then if you opened up discord it would split one of the halves in half again. If you wanted to have discord instead floating and over top of the stream you could do that, or send it to the next “desktop” over if you don’t need to see it. You can customize each of the tiles however you like, border or no border, you can move them around…

Switching over to a tiling windows manager has been really enjoyable. It feels like a futuristic paradigm shift

They also wrote the book on user-hostile everything

Wow that’s a real douche maneuver

In the late 90s they were a couple hundred bucks on eBay. Passed their usefulness as workstations. I still have the ultra 60 but couldn’t find a scsi three hard drive to replace the original when it died

In high school I had Sun sparc 5 And then an ultra 60, Solaris was a pretty sweet OS back in the day

I picked up a yoga 6 on sale from Lenovo three years ago for about $800. SSD + ryzen. Works perfect on linux, the only problem was a faulty fan replaced under warranty, since then been great, could probably find a used one for pretty cheap

Boy that escalated quickly

You might have difficulty with the fingerprint reader, everything except that was pretty easy to set up on a fairly current yoga 6

It still is, but it used to be too

Your paper: “Ask me about watercooling”

Your accessory: water spray bottle

When anyone asks you about watercooling give them a little spritz

You can run it on literally anything including a virtual machine, android tv box, old laptop from the trash…
