  • Planning to switch to Linux for my next PC

  • Ah well windows XP is before my time so I think I’ll look at mint and bazzite for now but at least you gave me another name to look into. The more the merrier!

  • Sorry but what’s a flat pack? Is that like an installer?

  • Planning to switch to Linux for my next PC

    Jump

  • Yeah I think makes sense thanks!

    Basically Linux mint or bazzite is the system and how it’s organized while plasma is how I’m seeing that system represented and interacting with it in other words?

  • So I think another comment talked about this but I’m having a brain fart so mint or bazzite (the distro) is like the os but how does plasma the desktop environment fit in?

  • Planning to switch to Linux for my next PC

    Jump

  • Yeah a few other comments were talking about the installation process but I just run windows like normal on the new PC then run the Linux installer

  • Planning to switch to Linux for my next PC

  • I was gonna try bazzite first any words of wisdom on it?

  • Planning to switch to Linux for my next PC

    Jump

  • Alright good to hear. I was gonna try bazzite first then mint if I couldn’t get it going

  • Planning to switch to Linux for my next PC

    Jump

  • Ok cool so that’s probably a positive thing in my case since I don’t plan to tweak things and have no idea what I’m doing

  • Planning to switch to Linux for my next PC

    Jump

  • Yeah I was gonna check out bazzite first then Linux mint

    Another comment said that mint will wipe the windows install if I “run” it from an external usb so would I just boot windows like normal

    Also does bazzite do the same thing cus I’m probably gonna use that first

    As for that Rufus tool is the demo mode something I would use on the new pc

  • So a lot of people have recommended bazzite so I might start with that and move to mint if that doesn’t work out for me, how does plasma and Debian fit in cus that stuff is ringing a bell. Like plasma being separate than a distro

  • Oh nice, so I just boot windows as normal then “run” the installer from a usb. As for whatever an iso image that makes no sense to me is that just the “program” that the installer is?

    A lot of people have recommended bazzite so i might try that first but mint definitely sounds like a good “I have no idea what I’m doing just start working distro”

  • Planning to switch to Linux for my next PC

  • Yeah bazzite seems like a recurring topic here so I think I’ll check it out first since others have all said it’s similar to the steam decks setup (which has been limited to me installing emudeck but seeing familiar stuff might help me

  • Planning to switch to Linux for my next PC

    Jump

  • So what does immutable mean?

    But I’ve seen it’s similar to the decks desktop mode from some other comments as well so that seems nice

    I haven’t really interacted with desktop mode outside setting up emudeck (mostly DS and switch games)

  • Planning to switch to Linux for my next PC

    Jump

  • So bazzite and mint seem to be recurring themes here for my needs of something that works out of the box, do those need any set up or stuff? I don’t really know exactly what I’m asking here :/

  • Planning to switch to Linux for my next PC

    Jump

  • Ah so it’s just how the software works essentially

  • Planning to switch to Linux for my next PC

    Jump

  • Yeah I’ve seen bazzite pop in a few steam deck discussions, some other comments recommend Mint how do they compare/differ

    But like I said in another comment I’m not looking to tweak much, if anything at all, so I think it might be a good fit, definitely gonna take a look at that link when I’m off work

  • Planning to switch to Linux for my next PC

    Jump

  • Yeah I’m kinda looking for a “it just works” since I’m not big on tweaking every little thing and I just really wanna play games and work on my documents

  • Planning to switch to Linux for my next PC

    Jump

  • So nothing in that sentence made sense to me lol, mind explaining?

  • Planning to switch to Linux for my next PC

    Jump

  • So I think I’ll look at mint then considering I have no idea what you mean by RPM files but app images ring a bell when I was getting yuzu set up on my steam deck
