I was using bazzite on my Rog ally and it was a great experience, recently swapped it to cachy to try out and its been alright just a little bit harder to set up initially imo. I don't think I would consider bazzite as my main since it's fedora based but everyone has their own opinions and experiences. This is in no way hate for bazzite it really is a great os

Enjoy yourself! You chose the best distro for community support imo, people are always helpful

I don't understand the points you are trying to make, like this started from you telling people not to swap because of a bad upgrade choice. I also now see you are one of the few that have been using Linux for so long you think anyone new to it shouldn't be here. You are part of the problem why Linux is so small in percentage. I never claimed it was good for gaming or that was my reason for switching. Nor did I ask anyone to hold my hand the whole way. I did my research and couldn't decide as I'm still new so I asked for advice. You feel so smart since you've been using Linux for 30 years. Yeah I game so I probably wouldn't if I couldn't play my games obviously what a solid argument lol. But your wasting your breathe on me. I'm a tech and privacy enthusiast I finally want to learn just like many other let us learn don't discourage us. If it makes you feel better while I use flatpaks I do think it is stupid that people are going for a windows experience on Linux, in that case just use windows.

Sounds like you've had a bad experience or something, I enjoy tinkering and running my games while maintaining my performance and privacy. I've had no issues, telling someone to get a console is a ridiculous statement nowadays there's no reason to. I also just realized what community I'm in so I'm going to assume you are responding this way because I chose endeavour instead of arch directly lol

Like I said I just got my card but even coming a 4070 I enjoy this card a lot, it's just raw power and in my opinion it makes everything run so much smoother even in games like cyberpunk where my fps isnt that drastically different as I didn't use ray tracing before anyway and if you do end up with one a cool thing to note I haven't tinkered much but I immediately dropped 50 watts off the card and it's performing the same as it did with all 300 something watts

I have not regretted it at all, on my account I posted my first 24 hours with the card, and just general experience thus far. I enjoy the card, I like having the raw performance over having to utilize upscaling constantly, you may be disappointed in ray tracing performance? which makes sense nvidia made that so they would theoretically be the best but they don't care about making actually good hardware anymore nor do they care about gamers

 

This isn't a technical post just my general experience as I am only roughly two or three months into using Linux. But I currently am running EndeavourOS on kernel version 6.13.7, using Mesa 25.0.1 Im on KDE Plasma as my desktop using Wayland. First off I want to admit I was afraid I was going to have to run away in fear back to windows trying to use this card as previously I was on Mint and I knew I was going to have to find a different OS to use or wait or I found the XanMod kernel but that didnt work, so I switched. The card has honestly been incredibly reliable with a occasional bug but in my experience not terrible ones, Cyberpunk crashed one time when I loaded but it was one time and Ive played maybe four hours since, my login screen did freeze up once but only once and a restart fixed it. I have successfully played Cyberpunk, Marvel Rivals, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 and Red Dead Redemption and had no issues except the two minor ones i mentioned before. Im sorry I dont have benchmark results or something but I wanted to help provide a little more info on this card. I also should note I initially dropped 50watts off the card and it has been like this since its been in my PC. Also I dont like raytracing so your experience could be different TL/DR : She games! With very minor issues thus far. If you guys have any questions feel free I would love to help with anything!

Thanks for the reply, and I did try to answer the question myself I just wanted to make sure I came to the correct conclusion with my research I guess I should have been more clear, and I only chose here because I couldn't find a community for my OS on Lemmy I'm sure there is one I just needed a quick answer. Thanks for the warning though lol arch purist are the reason people are afraid to make the switch or ask questions it's ridiculous honestly

 

I'm currently on EndeavourOS that i set up like a week ago and I'm using a 4070 currently, I'm really new to Linux I used mint for about two months and just swapped over to EndeavourOS, but I wanted to know the proper way to swap over to the AMD card some people are saying I need to remove the Nvidia drivers and the add AMDs drivers then swap or others are saying just drop it in and then last is I have to reinstall the os, what is the proper way to do my upgrade? Thanks in advance sorry for the formatting

Oh okay, I used gparted to do this I just thought making the partition smaller now would possibly ruin my boot, thank you!

[–] BeyondRuby@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yes the root partition

 

I know I don't have to start this with I'm new, you can already tell lol but I just want to make sure I will not cause any problems having files on there I'm confused trying to answer this on my own, thanks for any help in advance! I deleted windows and ignorantly extended my boot partition to take up all of the space and now realize I should have separated the two just curious if it's safe to use it like this

I may be misunderstanding but why are people saying take down chromium? Please correct me if I'm wrong but chromium is open source and only invested in largely by Google. Chrome is chromium with proprietary code implemented and in no way (as far as I can tell) do they own the chromium project. I quite like chromium just the de-googled version. I think people may be mistaking Chrome and Chromium for being the same or maybe I'm wrong. Maybe someone can explain if I'm missing something

Also I'd love to see the downfall of Google but nothing will change the power they have. The names too recognizable it doesn't matter if given a choice , Grandma or Grandpa or whoever that doesn't care about this sort of thing is picking Google because out of the common options they'll probably only recognize Bing or Google maybe some Yahoo too lol

Edit: I don't understand why I'm being downvoted , I was asking a question and explaining what I understood about the project but that's the internet I suppose haha

The fact that this was posted and there's more than one comment that's not just straight out hate is so refreshing. I switched here due to the supposed amount of bots on Reddit swaying opinions on products allegedly. But now I'm staying here because truly the bigger problem is how politics are inescapable on there. Thank you Lemmy for allowing people to actually speak and not argue constantly. Opinions are okay, have a discussion but the constant pitch forks being thrown on reddit for literally anything is insanity
