This isn’t me asking for help or anything, I already replaced it with fedora kinoite. I just felt like talking about this ridiculous venture of mine.
So a couple weeks ago I started hyper focusing on cities skylines, but played on my Xbox. I learned that mods and all kinds of fun custom content was available on PC so I tried to play on my system. Problem, my laptop has an rtx 2070, but I was running fedora kinoite and couldn’t figure out how in the world to install nvidia drivers.
So after a bunch of searching around I give up and decide to try installing a “gaming” focused distro in the form of endeavour os. It was awful.
Maybe I am weird but the x11 rendering didn’t feel good at all, the lack of some default applications, as well as a bunch of apps I didn’t know the purpose of. (This one is my own fault since they have a kde spin, but I remembered why I didn’t like gnome) and finally today it froze in the middle of an update and hard rebooted, no longer able to launch.
Worst part, I didn’t do a lick of gaming on the thing cause I moved on to Borderlands 3
Feels good to know that with my dedicated /home partition I can re-install my OS in about an hour. So the very notion of “system” feels strange to me, I mean I feel no attachment to it.
PS: yes I have NixOS install on my slow HD but still didn’t take the plunge. I imagine it “feels” even better to have “it” declarative.
