If you're considering getting an alternative handheld, a better OS would be either Bazzite or CachyOS Handheld edition. SteamOS is not bad, but it uses an older kernel+graphics stack which doesn't make it very ideal for running on

If its for your parents, then why not switch them to OnlyOffice? Its UI is very similar to MSO and it has excellent compatibility with the 2007+ file formats (much better than LibreOffice).

HDR can be a hit-or-miss even on Windows though, thanks to the myriad combinations of monitors, cable versions and standards. So hard to give a definite answer besides "YMMV". In my case though, it works fine without any hiccups.

Have you tried playing it via Proton or Proton-GE (via Steam or Lutris)? Vanilla Wine is a bit of a rough experience, I'd only recommend it for advanced users who know what they're doing.

Bazzite is naturally a bit slower to boot compared to other distros due to the things it bundles in and the ostree system, but 2 minutes is unusually long. On my 3.5yr old ThinkPad Z13 Gen 1 with the stock SSD, if takes exactly 34 seconds t

What do you mean by "to ensure it stays accurate"? Why wouldn't it be accurate if you're just copy-pasting the link?

These days, since it's all about containers, I'd recommend openSUSE microOS, which is a minimal immutable rolling OS that's suitable as a container host. https://microos.opensuse.org/

Sounds like you might be the perfect audience for consoles then. And here's the good news, that's the same audience SteamOS and Bazzite targets. I am/was a big PC enthusiast but could no longer keep up with all the stuff due

I can't speak for the 9070XT specifically (I'm on a 7800XT myself), but the thing with Linux in general is that nVidia can be a PITA sometimes and exhibit weird issues like your menu lag. If you want a first-class Linux experience

I get what your saying, but it's just a matter of finding the right workflow. I'm very much like you infact, so I ended up resorting to just using an Arch Distrobox for pretty much everything. I leave rpm-ostree and Flatpaks alone

The entire point of Bazzite and other immutables is that you get a rock solid system that you never ever have to worry about breaking. Atomic updates means updates either apply or don't: there's no partial/fail state that can

If your definition of "AAA" includes Arc Raiders and Marvel Rivals, then good news, they work. But if your definition specifically refers to shooters like Fortnite or BF6, then yeah, they're not going to work. Except CS of co
