This is old news, it’s working for over 5 years now.
I like the idea of immutable distros a lot, but I realised they are not for me, at least not now.
I couldn’t install global themes because the SDDM is immutable. There is a workaround, but it didn’t work 100% for me.
I couldn’t get Steam to put shortcuts on the desktop (it’s a known thing, simply I didn’t know it). It only worked with Bazzite which comes with Steam preinstalled. But then I couldn’t edit these shortcuts (for example: -silent) because if I did, they would vanish.
Then I experimented with Waydroid. There was something I wanted to test but couldn’t use the online advice because Bazzite/Aurora doesn’t have dnf for example.
There were other little things I’m used to tinker on my system and couldn’t so I realised, I wanna stick with other distros for the moment.
Interesting, thanks! Never heard of Nitrux before.
Yes that’s true. I just realised that I apparently tinker too much to use an immutable distro as of now. But I’m definitely keeping an eye on them.
Yes of course, that’s always an option. I was just trying to look over my Mint horizon and check out other distros and how they work. Exciting!
I like that article, I’m in a similar position at the moment. I’ve been using Mint on my Nvidia machine for a long time now, but with the new Mint 22 update that’s also based on Ubuntu 24.04, I’m facing similar issues and so I’ve done some distrohopping over the past couple of weeks. I’ve tried Aurora/Bazzite and Nobara as Fedora based distros, Garuda and CachyOS as Arch based ones, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and probably something else I can’t remember right now. All of them were great distros but had certain flaws that were offputting somehow. And I’m in no rush, since Mint 21.3 is still supported for a while.
I’m still open to suggestions what to try next! I’m getting faster and faster with fresh installs :)
No not at all, I just said that because I’m often under the impression that many people never search before posting and it sometimes annoys me so I try not to make the same mistake :D. I still miss the old forum days where we had that Bart Simpson meme.
Thanks for piecing it together, it might be a problem for more users, I’m relieved to read it’s not only happening to me!
Thanks! I was searching for posts before I posted but hadn’t found that post.
Edit: that post suggests to clear cookies - I’ve tried that twice on two machines, same problem still.
Refreshing logs me out when I’m logged in and does nothing when I’m logged out.
I used to have it from time to time too, but not it’s every single time and that’s inconvenient.
Same discussion from 4 days ago with the link to the respective Github issue: https://lemmy.ml/post/18936433
Maybe you find something you like here: https://fsfe.org/contribute/spreadtheword.en.html
Invidious is facing the same problem, there’s issues on both Githubs since June.
Wow. Thanks for sharing.
A bad time to install Tumbleweed? I just downloaded the ISO today, not kidding.
Depends on what you are playing, but gaming in Linux has come a long way. Some games won’t work due to companies not enabling their (rootkit) “anti-cheats” for Linux, but other than that, there’s more and more games that simply work by the day. Check out https://www.protondb.com/ to get an idea of what’s working at the moment.
If you do a quick web search, you can find 5 years old reddit posts that link to the exact same github of d07RiV that is first mentioned in the article. So I suppose DevilitionX will be around for the same amount of time.
