  • That doesn’t mean that everyone should support games being forced into having all genders, or races, or include trans people. Or all books or movies should be forced to have those things.

    Literally no one is being “forced” to add diversity. This is just plain ignorant.

    Besides, no one bats an eye when a character is a white cis hetero man, but the moment something slightly different from the normativity appears, suddenly it is forced and unrealistic.

    Fuck that, LGBT people exist and we deserve the bare minimum of at least having proper representation in the media we consume.

    This is not equal to hating trans people, and anyone with some iq points realizes this. We can’t turn every creation into a vehicle for trans rights.

    Keep your bullshit IQ points talking point. Put yourself on someone’s shoes for once and try to imagine what it might be like for a trans person to experience seeing a character like them. And stop with this bullshit of “making every character trans”, that’s literally not happening.






  • I’d recommend you test Bazzite, Nobara and Solus and see which one you like best.

    As far as I know screen resolution issues usually comes down to outdated drivers and/or kernel, at least for newer hardware. Using a distro that’s very up-to-date usually solves that, any of the 3 ones I cited above are regularly up-to-date.

    I’ll briefly explain the differences between them.

    Bazzite:

    “Atomic” distro. Basically means it updates like Android, where it downloads an image of the system and uses that to update, instead of updating every single package individually when you try to update. It also means some parts of the system are read-only, making it impossible to mess with the more critical parts of the system, which helps a lot to mitigate user breakage and issues.

    It is Fedora based, comes with KDE Plasma and a lot of of useful gaming stuff pre-installed. Just use the software center to install anything you need. It has a forum and Discord server if you ever need help with something. Also, it auto-updates on the background by default and only applies the update once you restart you computer.

    I use it daily since the last 3 months at least and has been the smoothest, most plug and play experience I ever had on Linux. It is also the only one of the 3 that I recommended that supports Secure Boot and easy TPM2 setup, both which I need because of an external drive with Win11 I barely use and because I encrypt my system.

    Nobara:

    It’s not Atomic, so it updates “normally” and doesn’t have the read-only protections.

    It is Fedora based and comes with KDE Plasma by default, but have options to use other Desktop Environments. There’s a Discord server to ask for help if needed.

    I used it for a year before I moved to Bazzite and it’s pretty good. The only 2 caveats is that on major upgrades you need to upgrade through the terminal following specific instructions, and I had to manually intervene in the system a few times, which I only knew about because I was in GE’s Discord, otherwise it would be a pain to find how to fix the issues I had.

    Solus:

    It’s not Atomic, so it updates “normally” and doesn’t have the read-only protections.

    It’s not based on any other distro, it is it’s own thing. Comes by default with Budgie but there’s also a KDE Plasma option. There’s a forum to ask for help if needed.

    Used it for at least 4 or 5 years I think. Was the first Linux distro to actually get my attention and one of the best computer experiences I’ve ever had. I only ended abandoning it because of some issues with the team behind it that resulted in months of downtime without a single update, to the point I thought the distro was dead. It ended up coming back after some restructuring, but I never tried it again. I still recommend it because of how good it was, I found nearly everything I needed natively on their app store. The biggest problem other than the one I already talked about was outdated apps here and there.



  • I get what you’re saying and I would definitely agree in the case of Fedora Silverblue/Kinoite. I specifically said Bazzite because it is specifically made to be as hassle free as possible while also providing a lot out of the box.

    If someone needs help there’s a dedicated forum for that, documentation and also a Discord server. It can be more complex in some areas for troubleshooting, but it is also big enough to the point where you can get help if needed.

    Bazzite has been the smoothest experience I ever had on Linux since I started using it in 2018 when Proton launched. I even use it on my main computer and laptop.

    If I had to recommend a non atomic distro the only ones would be Solus and Nobara, but on Nobara you need to keep an eye on their Discord because of manual interventions every now and then.



  • Congrats! Is this the first person you’ve told?

    Thank you!! And yes, she’s the first person I told about it.

    You are you! The labels are all just oversimplifications anyways. :) Do you have any plans to make any changes?

    I do want to, like I want to act more feminine for example, but I’m too shy and too afraid/anxious to do so right now, so it’s probably take some time before I start showing my true self.

    I probably should just switch to a non-verbal method to come out to my family. Cuz verbal methods seem really hard.

    It’s way easier that way. I mean, still difficult, but definitely more maneageble. I do hope it goes well for you ☺️





  • I used Nobara for a year and my main partition got corrupted after a hard reset because my RAM is faulty. Decided to try Bazzite, everything has been smooth sailing and the best experience I’ve ever had on Linux, but if I had to list three things that would be:

    1. Can’t install xpad drivers from git because the Desktop is atomic.

    I used a pending PR for xpad under Nobara that allowed access for the extra buttons for my Flydigi Vader 3 Pro under Linux. Right now I’m just using a VM with Windows to configure it as I want, it’s a hassle but it works.

    1. I don’t know why the Steam client likes to freeze so much under Wayland every time a Steam spawned window is closed, it honestly gets on my nerves sometimes, wish it would just have native support by now.

    2. Kernel level Anticheats that block Linux.

    Not that much of a problem but it’s annoying when some game I really want to play just doesn’t work. I wanted to play the 2XKO alpha on Linux, but for some reason Riot decided to use Vanguard for it and I now I have to play it on a separate Windows install I did on an external SSD.
