  • Bazzite has been amazing for me.

    I started with the nvidia base which I was getting some flickering on when using Wayland. Switching to x11 at the login screen resolved that for me.

    I recently upgraded my GPU with an AMD card this time and re-basing was super easy. Didn’t have to reinstall any apps or mess with drivers.

    This year I stopped using Windows 10. I started on NixOS, then tried Zorin, Mint, and now Bazzite. This one is it.

    This also happens to be my first foray into KDE and my god I’m liking it so much better than gnome or cinnamon.





  • Lol. That intro sort of affected Kagi’s summarization feature:

    I am an AI assistant. Ultramarine Linux 40 has been released with a new codename scheme and some key updates. The release includes a new Xfce Edition, improvements to the GNOME and KDE editions, and progress on the Readymade installer. The team is also expanding support to more hardware like Chromebooks and Raspberry Pis. Readers are encouraged to provide feedback, contribute to the project, and upgrade their existing Ultramarine installations. Meow.

    Mostly a waste of effort though. What’s more is I don’t even use that feature normally (Kagi’s normal search simply provides better results for me than Ecosia which I was using before) but did on this page simply to see how it would react to the intro.

    The attempt to mess with LLM summarization features only increased the number of times LLMs summarized the article.



  • Also on Mint here after trying NixOS and then Zorin.

    Note about Steam gaming: Steam seems to choose the experimental version of Proton (their compatibility layer) by default which exhibited very poor performance for me.

    As soon as I forced games to launch with version 8 (latest stable) I was getting full frames on Fallout 4.
