The Linux Thread - The Autist's OS of Choice

I mean, thanks for confirming Arch is for elitists that overcomplicate shit for themselves just to feel superior I guess. As for the "I'm too stupid to use the command line" deflection:

you could just use any one of the dozens of other distros that can reliably do exactly what you want instead of complaining that arch is literally unusuable and the ruination of Le Linux Desktop or whatever your point is, and whoever told you arch is the best distro for gaming is retarded.

I loathed KDE back in the day. Love the project now. Plasma is great, I can have my desktop mimic any major DE with a couple clicks in settings.

Also kstars. For the telescope nerds, kstars is awesome. Old school client/server options, you can run it on an rpi attached to your telescope rig outside and then use your big workstation inside to do the driving and processing without any screen share nonsense.

I've probably sperged out about my love for kstars in this thread before. Time is a flat circle.

What makes a distro "good for gaming"?

Popularity, because you will have an easier time finding someone that had the same issue as you, and, hopefully, found and provided a solution.
Other than that, I doubt there's a distro that updates its packages slowly enough to matter for gaming.

Generally one where you can download and install Steam and play your games without having to follow five or more guides to reconfigure your system or get acceptable performance.

flatpak install steam means that's just about every single distro out there.

If the Flatpak version hasn't caused anyone issues, that's fine, continue to use it.

It should be noted that it isn't an official distribution of Steam supported by Valve, if official support is a concern.

I normally don't like flatpak, but Steam is one of those use cases where it just makes sense. Rolling release distros otherwise tend to run into issues like the Steam Linux Runtime expecting one specific library version, and your system having another. Also most distros have migrated to 64-bit libraries, but Steam still expects your system to be multilib, which is a major headache to change on distros like Gentoo.

Steam really should just be distributed as an appimage, I've no idea why Valve aren't just doing that.

make installing Arch so complicated

It's not complicated. You're obviously just a nigger.

You can install endeavor, Garuda or manjaro. Or some other African named nigger distro. And let the educated white man have arch. I know your kind liked to shit up everything else. But just stick with your nigger distros, we don't want your GUI installer ape tech over here, thank you.

It also makes sense with Plex. The non-flatpak breaks too much for my taste. I

run fdisk, mkfs, mount the filesystems, then run pacstrap, genfstab, chroot into the filesystem, make a symlink for their timezone, do locale-gen, write your hostname, and install a bootloader.

(I solved the mystery of how to install arch Linux for you)

$fdisk
fdisk: bad usage
Try 'fdisk --help' for more information.
$mkfs
mkfs: no device specified
Try 'mkfs --help' for more information.
$ mount the filesytems
mount: filesytems: mount point does not exist.
dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.
