It must have improved in the last two years because their community forum has been really helpful for me. I’ve had users go back and forth with me for days until we solved an issue I had.

Ooh, usbguard sounds cool.

Excellent

Thank you for these suggestions! I’ve been looking for something like Opensnitch for a long time.

Negative - that’s why I was thinking of giving Portmaster another go but am open to any solution like that.

Yes the PC will be unattended for many hours at a time.

You can definitely use the bios to boot into each one as well. I’m not sure why that didn’t work for you.

I think you could have kept the Windows drive installed while installing Linux as long as you were careful not to let the installer touch that device. But regardless, ideally you would run os-prober from Linux and let it update Grub with an entry for Windows (some Linux installers do this automatically). Then you would be able to choose the OS from the Grub menu during boot.

I wondered this same thing and investigated installing Hyprland on Bazzite but didn’t really find anything. I suspect you’d layer the installation into the os with rpm-ostree, but I didn’t end up trying it.

Can you imagine being the person that hit that button today? Jesus.

My brother in Christ, I’ve borked Linux systems with a misplaced text file =D

I think there are quite a few non-gamers in their community, but yes a couple of the DE’s they offer lean into the RGB neon style. I like that they actually provide some style (that I like, luckily) out of the box instead of just a regular ass desktop like every other distro.

I don’t know why other distros don’t offer out-of-the-box rices like this. It’s just fun.

It’s finally an opinionated distro I agree with. Of course you can get anything to look like anything but I just like how they picked a path and went so far down it to make their own unique out-of-the-box experience.

Garuda Hyprland edition. All the neon-RGB styling of Garuda gamer on top of Hyprland’s smooth UI.

The power of defaults.

I dual boot, but I’ve been dreading booting back into Windows recently because I upgraded my motherboard/CPU and know they are going to make me buy another license. And I understand Windows is more convenient for a lot of people but I am not one of them.

I can’t think of anything that is more convenient for me on Windows other than that I have to use it to run Studio One to record music from time to time. But “software availability” has nothing to do with the operating system itself; market position does. And a company’s market position rarely drives my purchasing decisions.

I dislike Windows for all the reasons people here typically state.

I would guess it’s set in the controller’s firmware and can’t be changed. D=

It will be nice for Steam Deck and desktop Linux gamers. Discord will never fix their Linux game audio capture, and using OBS for this might be too complex for some people (and has its own issues on Wayland).
