  • I was using a few of the alphas like a year ago and I enjoyed it. Then I didn’t. seemed like with each new release it just got worse. slower, more bugs, etc.

    Yesterday I decided to finally try the beta and…it’s good. It’s really good. I’m going to switch from Niri to it. I didn’t have to change ANY keybind on it cause they were all just there by default. The tiling works great, love the ease of navigation between monitors. the hot key to tile or not is great. It’s in a really good spot right now.


  • I set up my own instance but…I don’t use it. I followed a bunch of other instances and channels and I’m not sure if I didn’t configure it correctly but i’m getting no live streams, no real good content, just nothing I want to watch.

    I don’t know. I want to like it but there’s just not much decent on it that I can find.




  • as everyone else has said soulseek and nicotine+.

    If you want to get your spotify playlists from soulseek use this script: https://github.com/fiso64/slsk-batchdl

    basically you export your spotify playlists as a csv and slsk-batchdl will take that and try to find everything on soulseek and download it for you. anything it can’t find it’ll let you know. it might take awhile, if you have a server I’d run it on that via screen and just let it run overnight (that’s what I did)

    Keep in mind that Soulseek has A LOT of audiophiles on it so you’ll find a lot of high quality audio and FLACs. if FLAC is too big for you and you’re fine with mp3s you c an use Nicotine+ to just search for mp3s.








  • yeah try turning off the hardware accelration on the browser…which browser btw?

    if the hardware accelration doesn’t work check the Lutris forums and/or discord to see if anyone has come across the issue. Have you tried running ESO via steam at all? potentially could also check it via protondb.com if you try to run it via steam.

    Generally though there should be scripts with Lutris to install it correctly. But i’d still check with the Lutris forum/discord (they’re really nice and helpful dudes) if the browser thing doesn’t work.



  • if Fortnite is a crucial element for you, and it sounds like it is, you’re going to have to dual boot.

    Games like Fortnite, League of Legends, Valorant, Apex Legends, recent Battlefields, etc aren’t going to work on Linux due to the fact Epic, Riot and EA decided kernel level anti-cheats were their “best” options.

    That being said the majority of games work on Linux and especially via Steam.

    As far as Distros go Bazzite is primarily focused on gaming. If you want something that will do both gaming and work stuff then I’d suggest CachyOS. It’s fast, very fast, great for both work and gaming. It will give you plenty of options for Desktop Environments on install and I would suggest you install it with KDE Plasma so you have a bit of familiarity coming from Windows.


  • I recently tried Gentoo, I liked it, dare I say I loved it. The problem is, I don’t have time for it. I would love to use it as a daily driver on my main rig but due to my work it would never fly.

    I am however thinking of putting it on my server where I just don’t need to spend time with it. I can compile and and just let it be while I do something else.
