I wonder if the AppImage is any better?

Oh man, I knew it had something to do with the Flatpack Nvidia driver packages. This happened to me several times with Heroic trying to play a game that wasn’t even recent by any means.

Except we’ll have to keep using it because the rest of our families and friends are going to still be on there or pester us about why we aren’t there with them to share photos of your sister-in-law’s baby photos and videos and your aunt Tammy’s vacation photos.

Yeah, I always had a dual-boot system and mostly used Win 10 as my main OS for gaming and Linux for troubleshooting and messing around. With the announcement of Win 10 reaching end-of-life this October, I started to go on my Linux side a bit more to try gaming and I was blown away. So I made the switch last fall to 100% Kubuntu 24.04 on my PC.

I can’t believe the progress that’s been made with Steam and Proton in recent years. I’ve always been a huge Linux fan and gamin has always been the only thing blocking me from using it full time. Now I have no reason to use Windows anymore! I’m so happy!

Remember Lindows OS?

I used my bluetooth wireless headphones and there is no sound cut-off. This really seems to be tied to HDMI audio through my graphics card.

Y’know, I have another problem altogether with audio in Linux in general. Whenever audio starts, there’s a fraction of a second where it doesn’t play anything at the beginning and the audio just “wakes up” and starts to play. This drives me insane when editing sound and music. Also, you won’t hear simple notification sounds because of this. This is permanent on all Linux devices I have and it appears to be a widespread. People have complained about it for a while now and have been trying to figure out workarounds because it seems the devs don’t give a crap about that.

Hmm. This is more for out-of-sync issues. Mine just stops for a whole second or two. But it doesn’t go out of sync.

Oh, no doubt it works. It’s fine if you want to run on older software. You might just miss out on the latest new features for your hardware.

Yes Ubuntu is based on Debian only in the way that it uses the same package manager. The packages are not the same though. They have a totally different release cycle and the repos have more up to date packages and drivers. Not to mention the additional quality of life improvements.

It’s a good middle ground between super stable but older Debian and unstable and bleeding edge distros.

I knew which video you were talking about before I even clicked the link.

Don’t use Debian for a gaming PC. Period.

Stick with an Ubuntu derivative like Mint or Kubuntu. It’s your best bet.

If you want a gaming exclusive platform, you might want to check out Bazzite as well. But the *buntus are best IMO.

What are the symptoms you’re getting?

Plus I like how they have the Homebrew packaging system to install pretty much anything you need.

Windows has something similar with chocolatey but it’s just not as complete. It’s not *nix apps either.

I’d reverse Windows and Mac. Mac is sleek, smooth, pleasant, well integrated, solid, stable, and has a good shell. They have great machines with great specs and are well built. They also take some learning to become efficient with.

Windows on the other hand, is cheap, buggy, ugly, unstable, comes pre-packaged with flashy junk, breaks easily, any child can use it and then break it.

I’d like to use a Linux phone, but it has to run Android apps though. They Gotta find a way, else it’s never gonna happen.
