  • There are already gazillions of reports scattered around both open and closed platforms.

    But you can’t easily search for them with proper filters, they are almost useless.

    What we truly need is a platform that enables this. And it needs to be federated, so every willing distro can host their own but share them to those instances interested in aggregating all distros.

    Fedora and Ubuntu have their own, but Distro Watch aggregates both so that anyone wanting to switch can easily compare.


  • No, I don’t believe it’s of any worth, as experiences will vary depending on user preferences and hardware. What would be the value of content like that?

    But yeah, I was adamant about switching. I knew I would ditch Windows. I forced it down on my self to such a degree that I had to learn how to work (while working) without the tools I used for ~20 years like Adobe for example. I freaking love Inkscape and gimp is the most unintuitive piece of software on my PC.


  • 2 years ago when I started my switch I tried ~10 distros and then did a prolonged test of about 2 months for each of the 2 distros that were the closest to being perfect out of the box and settled on Bazzite.

    I wish you a happy journey and if you don’t like one flavor don’t ditch Pizza, there are many more flavors to try and one of them surely will become your favorite.

    Because of everything.

    I can chose however I want it to be and behave. It won’t nag me, it won’t show me ads, my hardware will receive support for ages, it consumes less resources, it’s more responsive, I don’t need to update any drivers, it uses less disk space, installing apps is easier, changing settings is easier, backups are easier, zero maintenance , it’s reliable, it’s free and open source and it uses the same Kernel that the world runs and relies on.

    I’m 42, since I was less than 8 years old until now I’ve used:

    • DOS
    • Windows 3.11, 95, Me, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10
    • MacOS 8.1, 9, OSX 10 - 10.11

    Linux:

    • Mandrake
    • Mandriva
    • Ubuntu
    • POP OS
    • Elementary
    • Manjaro
    • Endeavour
    • Debían
    • Zorin
    • Mint
    • Fedora
    • Aurora
    • Bazzite
    • Vanilla

    That said the only thing I dislike is that my kids can’t play EA’s FC26 or Epic’s Fortnite because those companies chose to actively not support Linux on purpose. Those games are predatory gambling casinos disguised as games, but still… I wish I could have the choice to play or not play them.

    But that’s a small price to pay for everything I get in return.

    I’ve been running Bazzite for 2 years now. For me, it’s honestly the best computing experience I’ve ever had. I’m very happy with it and I feel joy using it every single day, I’m in love.
