What Linux Operating Systems do you like?

I think I've finally fixed my Firefox 4K YouTube issue, disabling AV1 so it reverts to VP9 codec seems to have sorted it out, I've watched a few vids (even some 20+ minutes) and it's been fine so touch wood that was the issue, I've read about latest Linux firmware having some AV1 issues so might be related

I've also moved over to Kinoite, mainly just giving stuff a try see what I want longterm, I very much enjoyed my time on Fedora and since I was really only using mangohud + steam as native packages I figured might as well give a atomic distro + full flatpak apps a try, other than needed a quick command to get ntsync loading at boot everything as been plug and play
 
@Mercurial , i've still yet to try Pikaos, I see that some people dislike Cosmo and Ferreo being secretive to who they are and where they are from!

Though they seem to have a link with American developer GloriousEggroll from the Nobara project.

Ferrero is definitely UK based, seemingly London and is terminally online :) I've no problem with them wanting to maintain their privacy, the Open Source community does like it's drama and vendettas. Ain't no-one got time for that.

Cosmo I know little about. But I know there is a Syrian connection somewhere which may go some way to explain their attitude towards their identities.

Pika also has links to the CachyOS team, so they are well connected with quite a few "players".
 
I asked AI why there is mistrust and it comes back to the wallpaper mascot! :D

The "Pika" Name Confusion: The animal that PikaOS is named after—the pika—is a small mountain mammal with its highest species diversity located in China. Some internet sleuthing regarding the name occasionally morphs into a false assumption that the software itself originates from China.

On a purely technical level, PikaOS is built on Debian Unstable. Deepin Chinese OS also builds parts of its ecosystem on Debian, and some of Deepin's open-source desktop software packages (like the deepin-terminal) are mirrored in Debian's broader repositories.

If a user is combing through the backend repository files of a Debian-based system like PikaOS and spots the word "deepin" attached to a terminal or a desktop tool, they sometimes panic and falsely assume that the Chinese OS has been secretly baked into their system.

I installed CachyOS and am dual booting for now

All good so far and very nippy

Not played any games yet and use an AMD setup with a 9070XT

Would say, Dying Light 2 work better on Linux?

I mean I could do some benchmarking and not be lazy but gaming time is of a premium these days!

What are you using as a game launcher, Steam or something else?

CachyOS has its own Proton and there are other forks available depending on what improvements or features you would like.

For GPU tweaking LACT is great.

I've been on CachyOS for a while now and am in a place where I havent had to boot windows at all!

Ah cool.

Pretty much all my stuff is on Steam.

Already from reading that, I figure I am going to have to do some research, watch some vids :)
 
I made the switch to CachyOS a couple of months back. I have two nvmes, windows on the other. I only ever switch to Windows to play Battlefield 6, I thought I'd need to switch OS much more than I do. Overall, I'm pleased I made the switch and I look forward to the day I no longer need to dual boot.

For the recent discussion. Game launcher wise, if it's not on Steam, I use faugus.
