I’m on bazzite with a GTX980, and it’s been working flawlessly, so it’s not age. I assume you did

ujust sunshine-setup

but it’s worth checking.

Thanks, got a new term today.

Yup, call the virtue signalling bitches out, open weights is fine, which is not to say I don’t appreciate local LLMs being given out, even if it’s just for the free research on their models, but open source it is not.

I know, right!

Someone just removed many lifetimes of CO2 emissions with a couple of lines of code.

Shame that usage will just expand to fill the gap. Thanks late stage capitalism. Degrowth.

I like FreshRSS in a container, works great from a browser, and you can hit it from your phone on the loo…

Bazzite (ublue fedora kinoite derivative). Distrobox lets you install containerized alternate OSes, so you install stuff there, isolated from the main OS. If something breaks, you can just blow it away and start again without affecting bootability etc. Such is the beauty of immutable operating systems.

Your use case seems fine, all of that works (in flatpak). FWIW wouldn’t consider bazzite particularly gaming-centric, although it’s good at it, it’s immutable fedora with add-ons, so it has all of fedora behind it. The ublue project also has non-gaming variants. I’m a dev, but I have it on my desktop as I game, still develop on it (in distroboxes (basically containers with an OS, I mostly dev in Arch for AI stuff for example, but my main OS doesn’t get touched by my random mucking about)). Have a poke around in my history, I’ve said a bit on it, I find it good…Feel free to question later.

You don’t say what else other than gaming you want to do, so it’s harder to advise. Still, consider bazzite KDE, easy, stable, relatively close to the bleeding edge without all the cuts, everything you need for gaming in the tin.

woof

K, it’s a problem.

Bazzite, but whatever… Variety is good.

Android ;}

Yeah, keyword list would be awesome.

I have a personal bunch of communities as is allowed and occasionally jump to main when I run out of content. Usually see something I regret, often Trumpian, amusing but depressing. Maccas window Trump etc. Will code for relief if it’s not too (ironically) political.

Wow, valid issue.

Spitballing, potentially a secure app could run memory only, blah, blah, blah. Nope, you’ve given M$ your screen FFS, it’s all over. If you care, move elsewhere, tell your friends…

As you point out, codes are an option, but it’s not a slippery slope, it’s a waterslide.

Not wrong.

My favourite encapsulism of Daoism is…(paraphrased, possibly a profound joke)

A Buddhist will go with the flow down a river, as will a Taoist, but the Taoist will paddle at the right time to choose (something).

Doo Eeeet, Doo EEeet Now!!!

Seriously though, I vote VM under linux. Spin it up for whatever you need, use it less and less, no regrets…

Nah, saw someone else doing it and wanted the phrase…

It’s the XY Problem. Champion.
