Hey there! It looks like you're noticing a trend in popular distributions. There might be several factors behind that—like community support, ease of use, or specific features that align with your needs. Experimenting with Solus seems smooth, so it’s possible the right fit is still out there for you.
Pop_OS offers a lot of features pre-installed, except perhaps Steam. You just set up the operating system, add Steam, and you're ready to play. Some additional software might need manual installation, such as specific GPU drivers. Overall, it simplifies the process.
Various game setups on different systems yield distinct outcomes. The software you're using might not depend heavily on specific distribution versions, allowing it to function across multiple distros. If Solus meets your needs, switching seems unnecessary. With Proton's recent improvements, most distros now perform well. GPU drivers can sometimes cause issues but often install smoothly, depending on hardware and settings.
Yeah. I tried out with POP, but I don't really like the desktop version.
Due to COVID and work demands, I returned to using Windows (I hadn’t considered dual-booting then). I was just going through things and thinking about my upcoming setup.
Yeah, I haven’t had a chance to test the new NVIDIA updater. Not really sure if it does an automatic update. I’m surprised since ATI drivers seem just fine in Linux/Unix.
Is there a specific reason you don’t enjoy using Windows for gaming? Some titles or genres don’t need all the features Windows offers, and developers have built alternatives. I don’t think it’s necessary to rely on Linux just because I don’t like Windows. Besides, any distribution works fine; Fedora comes to mind since it seems to function smoothly out of the box. If you’re looking to spend your weekend improving your system, go with Arch and a bowl to handle your emotions. Avoid Kali and any security-focused operating systems—it’s not designed for gaming or everyday use.
I don't prefer Windows. It bothers me when updates force me to disable features I never asked for. That's just my way of thinking.
I run Fedora and have been searching for years. After trying Ubuntu, I finally chose Fedora. It has many problems; it isn't pure GNOME and tweaking extensions often cause issues. Fedora works well out of the box with the standard GNOME setup and supports my preferred theme without trouble. For gaming, Fedora is very up-to-date—offering the newest drivers and a newer kernel compared to others.
