Hi there, about three-ish months ago, give or take, i decided to try Linux again, since I had heard so much about how playing computer games had improved a lot.
I tried Ubuntu Linux in 2007 probably. I remember there was a promotional video on the dvd that included an interview with Nelson Mandela, where he explains the concept of Ubuntu.
I liked it a lot, so I very sad when I realised that my favourite computer games didn’t work on it.
Since then I have tried Linux about once a year, to see what the state of gaming is, and every year I have grown more annoyed with Microsoft.
This year, I decided on Arch Linux, because I figured that since SteamOS was based on it, driver and proton support would be best and most up to date.
Because I’m so new to Linux though, I decided that trying to install Arch from scratch with my inexperience wouldn’t go well for me, so I decided on EndeavourOS, and have been very happy with that decision.
I started with KDE Plasma, but I quickly became enamoured with the command line, and after trying out different programmes, wanted to see if I could run a framebuffer terminal instead of Plasma for most most things, and reserve Plasma for playing games.
After some experimentation, I decided that I was too inexperienced for that, and instead installed Sway with rofi-wayland, and have been very happy with that choice.
I have tried to figure out as much as possible by myself or through search engines, but the state of google has become so bad that startpage.com is almost unusable, so that a bing derivative is currently the best search engine, ie duckduckgo. ![]()
So within a week I have had two questions, that I couldn’t answer myself, so I believe introductions are in order.
Pleased to meet you all, I’m Voldemortan.
