    Bazzite is the answer you search for. Learn the terminal & eventually get a grasp on why atomic distros are cool and you’ll be okay. I was on windows for years & when I learned the terminal for that it was like I was giving God powers.

      The only thing I’m trying to install linux on is my Raspberry Pi. Upon googling Bazzite, it doesn’t seem to support Raspberry Pi.

      Also, I’ve been trying to learn terminal off and on for 15ish years, with no luck. I’ve been trying to get the fan to work, unsucsessfully on my raspberry pi, for 4 years now. Apperently I have to compile some code…I don’t know what that means…

        Compiling means that you take code then run that code trough a program that checks if the code works like intended. After that it will put out a binary/exe/whatever that you can work with further.

        From wiki:

        In computing, a compiler is a computer program that translates computer code written in one programming language into another language. The name “compiler” is primarily used for programs that translate source code from a high-level programming language to a low-level programming language to create an executable program. There are many different types of compilers which produce output in different useful forms.

          And I have no idea what that means.

          How do you reboot? You click start>power>reboot.

          I know what that means.

          Ask me to compile a script? Uhhhhh…

            The code is your ingredients, you put the ingredients together, then bake it (compile). When it’s done you have a pie (a program you can execute and run).

            Open terminal > cd (command to change directory) into the directory where the code is that you want to compile > then run the compiler

            In rust I would CD into the directory that I have written my code in. Let’s say user/rust/projects/example1 with the command:

            cd user/rust/projects/example1

            Now every command I type will be executed on that directory. The tool I use is called “cargo” the command to compile is “build”.

            So with that information I type:

            cargo build

            While being in user/rust/projects/example1 and when I did everything right my Programm will compile and the result of that can be found in a folder in that project. Something like:

            user/rust/projects/example1/build/prod

            Hope that helps to give a overview of how the process is supposed to go when everything works without a problem.

        Worst case scenario you can take it apart & put it back together to maybe find a defective part. Terminal is tricky because of the language barrier. It’s all just coding with extra steps which isn’t meant to dumb it down.

        What the fuck are you on about? I just build a Raspberry Pi based console running RetroPie with a custom cooler, fan, and power button with LED indicator. Check out my recent posts to 3D printing.

        I compiled nothing but RetroPie since the Pi 5 isn’t officially supported but it was dirt simple to do. Install Raspbian, clone RetroPie repo, run install script, press enter on the first option, wait a few hours.

        Once again, you just suck at computing. Especially if after 15 years you still can’t Bash. In 15 years I built a career as a senior linux engineer.

        I just taught myself parametric CAD including both solid body and surface modeling in 3 months.

          So you’re stating on this post that you understand coding, and know how to compile. You’re trying to “insult” me by saying I suck at computing.

          Except I’m not insulted. You know who else sucks at it? EVERYBODY. It’s like an auto mechanic trying to insult you for knowing how to change a muffler, and how it’s so easy.

          I don’t know how to change a muffler. I just want to drive the car. Just like everybody else.

          I just want to push a button, have my fan work, and play retro games. I don’t want to have to bash in terminal. I don’t want to compile a program. I just want to play video games.

          And you know who else just wants it to work with no programming knowledge needed? EVERYBODY.

          THAT is the reason that after 30+ years linux is at an all time high user base with less than 5% of the market, despite Apple being expensive as hell in a tough ecconomy, and Windows being universally agreed on as being dog shit. People STILL don’t want to switch to linjx because NOBODY understands it or wants to deal with it.

          They’d rather deal with Windows 11 spying on your screen, or paying an assload for a mac than deal with linux.
