Hi!
I juet tested a few distributions and have some questions how to combine all the good things:
- Fedora - overall I think it was my favourite OS but I would like to choose something less dependent on american corporation
- ChachyOS - Gnome version was crushing during games and KDE Plasma was OK-ish but I don’t like the overall look. Nice thigs - KDE allowed me to change the brightness of my monitor directly in the system (sic!) but looked bad. Also - there is Software app on GNOME desktops that is amazing - apps installed from there always work and there are all apps I usually need - how to bring this app to Mint?
- OpenSUSE - after recovering my system 5 times after performing regular system update last week I decided to look for alternatives
- Linux Mint - Looks nice, I spent only like 30-60 minuts on it so hard to say but I think that if I could bring Software app from fedora/opensuse gnome with flatpak and flathub amazing GUI I would spend some time on customazing the look and would be able to stay longer.
- How to have Software shop from fedora/opensuse gnome on Mint? Is it possible?
- How is the performance in Gming on Mint?
Mint has a software manager and you can also install Synaptic.
Gaming on Mint works fine, but it’s based on Ubuntu LTS releases, so you won’t have the latest kernel or mesa versions. If you’re using an RX 9000 series GPU, you should probably pick a distro with a newer kernel and mesa version to get the best performance.
Well, that’s a good point. I have 9070. Any recommendations? Maybe I will give another chance to OpenSUSE…
Which version of opensuse did you try?for a desktop I would always use Tumbleweed.
I tried Leap, will consider testing Tumbleweed during the weekend :)
Nobara and Bazzite are gaming focused distributions, but they are both based on Fedora. OpenSUSE Tumbleweed will give you the lastest kernel version if you want a rolling release distro.
