I've been trying a few Linux distributions (openSUSE Tumbleweed, Fedora, Debian, Mint) and I noticed how freaking difficult it still is to install Wine and DXVK.
Come on! It's been how long? Most Windows refugees will want to install Wine. It should be as simple as:
@mfjurbala the distribution really is just a matter of choice. Generally speaking the newer the better, so rolling releases like #opensuse tumbleweed or #ArchLinux, #Fedora or #Siduction are a good choice.
Most windows game work pretty good now, if you play online and the game has anticheat you may have an issue there.
A bold statement from Dirk Mueller on the OpenSUSE blog:
"Debian, as well as the other affected distributions like openSUSE are carrying a significant amount of downstream-only patches to essential open-source projects, like in this case OpenSSH. With hindsight, that should be another Heartbleed-level learning for the work of the distributions. These patches built the essential steps to embed the backdoor, and do not have the scrutiny that they likely would have received by the respective upstream maintainers. Whether you trust Linus Law or not, it was not even given a chance to chime in here. Upstream did not fail on the users, distributions failed on upstream and their users here."
Two full months into Pop_OS now. While genereally happy, I struggle a bit with the system getting slower and slower over time, I need to reboot every 2-3 days to get back to normal. Resource monitors shows no havoc procresses and no excessive memory usage.
For some other reasons I installed openSUSE Tumbleweed in a VM with KDE 6 and now find it very tempting to switch. It was super fast and KDE seems just so much better at this point.
Switching distro is a huge PITA, so if you have any arguments against it, I would appreciate that before I go down that road 🙂
The certainty that you can walk out for a coffee ☕ on these 1649 packages being updated in Tumbleweed. Come back, reboot, good to go. The gecko rocks! #opensuse#tumbleweed
