Sure thing. A tiling window manager could be quite an inconvenience.
I also like the challenge a bit. I’m looking for something reliable. I really accept some hassle. I’m thinking about Manjaro with Xfce; it’s arch-based and benchmarks show better performance. Xfce is light, while i3 tiling feels too simple. Does that sound good to you?
The steam-runtime relies on Ubuntu libraries, making *buntu a solid option. It appears these are the just two distros that allow combining stable, testing, and alpha packages right out of the box, though this condition likely applies only during the initial six months before stable drivers become sufficient.
I own some of their materials, and it performed well when bought originally. It's fair to note they can't cover every new dev patch for all distros at any time—there needs to be a consistent baseline. The outdated versions I deal with are easier to handle by identifying what changed in my system since 2015, rather than trying to track every OS update.
They typically direct funds toward the platforms with larger user numbers and higher earnings. Ubuntu captures the majority of this allocation. It’s concerning how games built for Linux often perform poorly or fail to launch compared to those made for Windows, highlighting the disparity in developer priorities. Standards and quality assurance differ significantly. It’s similar to comparing mass-produced Chinese phones versus genuine Chinese models. On Windows, games from the early 2000s still function, even with Microsoft’s occasional attempts to undermine backward compatibility (like during the Vista era). Distributors have been updating games from the 1990s and selling them on Windows simply because there’s a market, despite the passage of time. With so many HD and remastered versions now available, Linux generally delivers only modest results after two to five years.
Ubuntu came with various versions built for different desktops at launch. The asterisk symbol is just a way to include multiple options like Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Lubuntu. Games don’t care about the desktop you choose; they focus on your core libraries and graphics stack. This helps clear any confusion about which environment fits your needs.
