That is likely due to the RX9000 lineup needing the newer kernel for driver support. Kubuntu maybe didnt ship that 6.14 kernel at the time. Cachy is the best for new hardware because they have great tools for switching kernels and patching everything up to the bleeding edge. They make it easy to grab the latest kernel, mesa, nvidia driver or whatever you need for new hardware.
Yes its based on arch packages but its not the same as when people say “arch based distro” because SteamOS doesn’t inherit the arch problems because its not on archs update schedule. While other arch based distro’s follow the arch schedule and get all the issues that come with bleeding edge software.
I only roast NixOS from a place of love.

Linux takes like 5-10mins to setup. You can dedicate your first day/week to trying out a few different flavors to see which one you like.
I’d try distro’s in this order Mint with Cinnamon > fedora KDE > Ubuntu Gnome > cachyOS if you’re a baller > Arch if you want to learn and break things while doing it > NixOS if you absolutely hate having things work easily and learning transferable knowledge.
a bug? No problem we will just fix it in the next release. loop for eternity.
I got banned for being unhinged towards users who were doing (IMO) obvious nazi dogwhistles and the mods sided against me. Fuck them mods and fuck the users who accept that shit. The posters knew exactly what they were signaling.
I swear EA is intentionally pulling gamers agro to tank for the rest of the industry.
Reading this gives me vietnam flashbacks of Nix users explaining ways to inject NixOS into a conversation
I’m installing snap on fedora to spite you.
I like the linux drama, it keeps the news fresh. Otherwise it would all be software updates. When I see a brodie robertson/sebastian wick wayland video I go make popcorn.
Based shit stirrer.
It tracks along the lines of all the other linux usage stats. The actual % is a bit different by the trends all show growth. PH released 5% linux usage on the desktop. US Gov released 5% linux usage on desktop. If it included web crawlers and AI scrapers the % would be like 80% since thats the majority of internet traffic.
Oh no 1gb of space is being used windows users totally care about that as they go from an OS that out of the box takes 100gb to one that takes 30gb. Thats pretending what you said is true because Snap doesnt store 5 versions by default it stores two. Secondly the common runtimes are shared between applications and versions so the amount of extra space when storing multiple versions is minor also distro packaging also stores multiple versions by default 3 if I recall correctly for dnf.
I think the fact that you think a win10 user cares more about an app taking a few seconds longer to open on first load than their GPU driver being unstable(from a new user perspective) is everything. Yes! the driver is nvidia’s fault but its also fedora intentionally choosing to not ship it out of the box. Many other distro’s do this so nvidia users dont have to go through the hassle of foss drivers and them breaking every kernel update.
Also I dont blame fedora for this, fedora doesnt target new users and as a fedora user I like that they aim to ship a fully foss system and I think they make it easy to include properitary packages if thats something you want. However its pointless to point someone to a distro where you have to then give them a bunch of extra steps to enable basic functionality when there are plenty of distros that work out of the box.
For a new user one of the ublue spins is a good choice. They get the base fedora experience with nvidia gpu’s sorted out of the box and flatpak.
No one switching from win10 is going to notice the package being a few MBs larger. For opening speed I think taking a few more seconds to open is a tiny price to pay compared with the extra setup work that is required on Fedora. Look if Fedora shipped with the proprietary repo’s enabled and Nvidia driver preconfigured id recommend it to new usres but until then its just to much for new users to enable proprietary repos and setup their nvidia drivers.
I’m a Fedora user but I prefer to point new people to Ubuntu over fedora. The snap v flatpak debate is irrelevant to new users compared to fedora not shipping proprietary gpu drivers out of the box which causes so many problems for nvidia users. Kernel updates often end up braking their gpu driver.
If you fix linux machines at work, go with fedora or nobara(fedora with gaming tweaks applied). This is because it ships a modern linux software stack with sane defaults (bazzite is fedora with patches applied). Bazzite is smooth sailing until you need to do something not in flatpak or bazzite scripts (which you might never do) then you need to learn a new way to do it.
The reason I think you should choose Fedora over bazzite is because you likely already know how to do things generally on linux and if you switch you Bazzite you’ll need to learn a completely new way.
Fedora only ships with only foss software so you do need to enable a few repo’s and install the nvidia driver but after this it should be smooth sailing.
The problem is that the right do not consider asylum seeking to be legal even though it is infact legal. So you get the right deport people who are legally in the country while saying they’re only deporting illegals. Its a fracturing of reality.
My school everyone wore the same uniform. The only choice we could make was shoes or sandals 99.9% chose shoes. Sandal wearers got so much shit for it. It was a death sentence.
Yeah but for a new user its nice to see how different groups configure linux out of the box. Once you know what you’re doing you can tweak the distro to your liking but new users seem to search for a default they like and stick with it until comfortable.
