I dunno, if you take that advice you either needed to do it because your relationship is so bad, or you needed to learn from the mistake of doing it.

Mature people in good relationships don’t break up just because the Internet told them to.

And if you forgot to properly sign up for a long distance plan your calls were at “market rate” instead of the very reasonable price of about fifty cents to a dollar a minute.

I’m on Garuda, every game I have tried has worked great, sometimes I just have to choose a different proton version with an easy pull down menu. The only game I have given up is Destiny 2, because they say they will ban anyone on Linux because of their anti cheat.

I use Garuda, you just install the Nvidia version and the updater handles updates automatically whenever you run it.

Easy peasy.

People always talk about the learning curve and compromises, but Linux is finally in the “shit just works” stage, so it’s not much different than the Mac/PC decision people make every day.

Heck, in a lot of ways it is more similar to Windows than Mac is, so it should be an easier decision. For some reason though, everyone still treats it like… Well… It would be like treating Windows like you still have to know DOS.

That’s just not true anymore.

Non immutable just means that your system isn’t locked down to make sure you don’t accidentally break something. Some people have a strong preference for it one way or another.

As to why it might help, every distro comes with a custom mix of software and tweaks. Bazzite is fedora based while Garuda is Arch based. Some things may work better or worse with less tweaking.

So if you are frustrated enough to consider something else and aren’t committed to an immutable distro, it might be worth experimenting with.

If you want a non immutable distro, I switched to Garuda after Bazzite and it has been great for gaming.

I didn’t get a Bambu printer because of the price or design, I got it because of its “just works” reputation, which it does.

Unless Qidi matches that ease, it isn’t equivalent, and that’s important to mention. Maybe it does?

And yeah, I don’t love the recent changes, but that’s only ideologically. Practically speaking it is still amazing.

I dunno, I use Garuda and it’s an Arch distro. It’s been super user friendly and I’ve only had to learn console stuff when I wanted to mess with stuff most casual users wouldn’t be bothered with.

And maybe you would say, “well that’s not really representative of a normal Arch install” but isn’t that the point of different distros? That anyone can build on functionality to do something like make Arch more user friendly?

So… long COVID then. The vaccine doesn’t undo you having already had it…
