People always talk about the learning curve and compromises, but Linux is finally in the “shit just works” stage, so it’s not much different than the Mac/PC decision people make every day.
Heck, in a lot of ways it is more similar to Windows than Mac is, so it should be an easier decision. For some reason though, everyone still treats it like… Well… It would be like treating Windows like you still have to know DOS.
That’s just not true anymore.
Non immutable just means that your system isn’t locked down to make sure you don’t accidentally break something. Some people have a strong preference for it one way or another.
As to why it might help, every distro comes with a custom mix of software and tweaks. Bazzite is fedora based while Garuda is Arch based. Some things may work better or worse with less tweaking.
So if you are frustrated enough to consider something else and aren’t committed to an immutable distro, it might be worth experimenting with.
If you want a non immutable distro, I switched to Garuda after Bazzite and it has been great for gaming.
I wish I had good advice for how to connect with people after the school years, that’s just difficult.
If there is one lesson I could teach my younger self, it would be to have several low commitment relationships while I was younger to learn what is “normal”. Once you start making murder pacts, it’s usually too late.
Yeah, for us they were pretty much straight up too.
So… long COVID then. The vaccine doesn’t undo you having already had it…
Check out Garuda too, it is specifically designed with gaming in mind.
