Sorry I can't do it. (lemmy.zip)

I've been working on converting my gaming PC to Linux for a few weeks, but everything is running, but it all is just a little jankier than I would like.

I have an 8th gen Intel i7 and an Rtx 2070, running Arch linux.

Sometimes I boot up and my mouse doesn't work and I have to restart. Sometimes I launch games and they just don't launch right.

It feels like I'm doing a lot of work for no benefit. In fact, Elden ring runs way worse on my Linux partition than my Windows partition.

I've tried GE proton, gamemode, steam compatibility, everything... I'm sorry but I'm going to have to stick with Windows for gaming.

Wait, Fedora is bleeding edge too? I don't know that

[-] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 months ago

Its generally more up to date with newer standards and such than Debian, but it is by no means bleeding edge.

Bleeding edge is generally bad unless you really need some specific thing for a specific reason.

If your whole set up is bleeding edge then congrats, you are a basically alpha testing an OS.

Huh, interesting. I thought that Fedora was following the Debian stable model. Well then my next recommendation would be Fedora based I think.

But I disagree that bleeding edge means you are an alpha tester. That means developers are releasing alpha willy nilly. I'd even argue that at a certain pace of Hardware and Software development, the latest version of software you have the better, since it has a certain possibility that the Hardware will already be supported.

Fedora is what I'd describe as cutting edge, but not bleeding edge. It's still behind from source, and is semi-rolling release, so it's further behind than Arch but way ahead of stable/fixed release distros like Debian
