My dream pet. I've always wanted one of these. If I ever finish my game I'm going to make it a pet you can get and rid on.

Nice I ordered a pinephone but I may get that some day.

Install waydroid or something or use the browser. The more you put off switching the worse it's going to get for everyone. You can also just keep another phone in your car on airplane mode and connect it to your hotspot when you need to check your account. There are ways I guess.

Fascists are the most degenerate people, I'm not sure how you could possibly take that from my statement unless you literally didn't read what I wrote.

To make it clearer, I'm saying humanity is degenerating because people are no longer free and our society rewards the wrong things, like conformity, submission to authority, duplicity, selfishness, evil politicians and giant corporations. Your average American today is voting for mass surveillance, millions of cops, and corporate finance of politics and the eraser of citizenship, brainwashing, censorship, disarming the population, giving the rich not only low taxes but access to unlimited nearly free loans that don't even match inflation, and they still can't make the economy good. This is what American voters vote for, they are incredibly stupid. In fact I'm going to start telling Americans how stupid they are when I see them for voting for mass surveillance and bot farms and algorithmic brainwashing, horrible economics, complete technology serfdom by having everything in their nation corporatized. I think you should tell them too. I don't think they realize what they vote for election after election they are too distracted with the extreme fear based politics of the corporate media.

Many of these don't work in the U.S and the best option they really have in the U.S is to get something like a pixel and put Linux on it, but I ordered a pinephone and a bigger battery. I should have it in a month. I'm going to try my hardest to use it as my daily so I can break out of the android/iPhone monopoly. The enshitification of operating systems has become ridiculous. They make it as hard as possible to do these things in the U.S. (zero regulation from the government) zero antitrust or pro consumer laws. Zero thought from the government to actually protect citizens right to use the airwaves and infrastructure that is probably majority funded by tax payers, especially after you account for inflation and fake stock market growth. The U.S is in a terrible state when it comes to tech, and I see why China is starting to surge ahead of us. Also the nickel and diming U.S companies do and get away with, while not even offering decent options for anything no matter how much you pay. Not even counting the mass surveillance and propaganda via algorithms and bots they do, is destroying American society. There is so much false advertising and corporate finance and bribery of elections. I think the U.S might be even more corrupt the Russia at this point. We can barely make anything anymore. My dream is the flee the U.S someday and come to one of the free countries in Europe where a person can own devices without corporate lawyers and pedos gatekeeping everything.

On Nvidia it doesn't support game mode, so it just boots into the desktop, and also you can download a version that boots directly into the desktop or just tweak the files to make it the default.

No you can pretty much do everything the same. The biggest difference is the distro it's based on, bazzite is based on fedora, you use "sudo rpm-ostree install" to install packages. Fedora has a system where it layers packages onto an ostree so if you have an issue you can boot from an old one.

Rpm is only needed for system packages, most packages can just be installed via a flatpack in the package store, which is all free and open source software.

Bazzite is a great starting point. It is pretty much turn key, while having the best performance and proprietary drivers. It already has everything installed to get emulating windows apps working easily out of the box. Wine, proton, steam, the proprietary drivers. These are all things you are going to want probably and this will save you a headache and several days of trying to get the system setup.

Make sure you disable UEFI and choose legacy boot in your bios if it's available and also disable the TPM in the bios if available. It will work with those enabled, but it's buggier and the TPM causes performance issues. Linux doesn't need these and they are artificially imposed by Microsoft and the big corporate OSes, but they suck compared to the original simple standards for bootstrapping. I'm not 100% sure how well this works on everything. It's possible some newer cards might require UEFI boot, but you can just turn it back on before you install.

I recommend KDE as the desktop environment, especially if you are used to windows. It will feel the most natural and familiar to you. I also recommend asking chatGPT to help you with basic tasks like installing system level software. Make sure you specify that you are using bazzite. Once you learn to use Linux its so much better than Windows. The performance is much better in nearly every regard. You can do anything you want with Linux, where windows is extremely locked down nowadays. It also prolongs the life of your hardware, especially drives, since windows spyware isn't constantly scanning your files and stuff. With proton you will likely see a 5-15% performance jump over gaming on windows natively. The downside is that many popular games won't work in multiplayer because of the anti heat, and also some trash software like Photoshop won't work, but the vast majority of windows apps will work just fine, even multiplayer. The developers have to go out of their way to make multiplayer games not work on Linux, so it's pretty rare, even if many of the bigger studios do it. You can dual boot windows for this if you really want to, but windows will constantly try to screw up your boot and stuff so you have to be careful. I would say just not support those companies which go out of their way to not support Linux. They are anticompetitive and anti consumer.

The learning curve for Linux isn't quite a cliff now, it's still steep, but with bazzite it's much easier then it ever has been. It mostly just works from a simple gui install, and there isn't really anything you need outside of this base install. Perhaps you want to install, protonup-qt so you can install proton GE, which has better support for some games that rely heavily on .net code, like space engineers.

Don't use the open Nvidia drivers they are not as good. Most people's problems with Nvidia probably come from this. I recommend bazzite for a Linux newbie, because it installs the best driver automatically and is very easy to use. Just get the distro that's made for Nvidia with KDE.

Get Linux phone. There are some decent ones coming out.

Never had this issue. I just use Firefox.

Oh yeah I was exploring the subs, sorry about that.
