This isn’t me asking for help or anything, I already replaced it with fedora kinoite. I just felt like talking about this ridiculous venture of mine.

So a couple weeks ago I started hyper focusing on cities skylines, but played on my Xbox. I learned that mods and all kinds of fun custom content was available on PC so I tried to play on my system. Problem, my laptop has an rtx 2070, but I was running fedora kinoite and couldn’t figure out how in the world to install nvidia drivers.

So after a bunch of searching around I give up and decide to try installing a “gaming” focused distro in the form of endeavour os. It was awful.

Maybe I am weird but the x11 rendering didn’t feel good at all, the lack of some default applications, as well as a bunch of apps I didn’t know the purpose of. (This one is my own fault since they have a kde spin, but I remembered why I didn’t like gnome) and finally today it froze in the middle of an update and hard rebooted, no longer able to launch.

Worst part, I didn’t do a lick of gaming on the thing cause I moved on to Borderlands 3

    This makes a lot of sense, though I can’t help but think about the fact that all these distros were once brand new projects that people had to go out on a limb and try out before they became what they are today.

    Though I also guess these projects had more official dedicated support.

    In any case, I won’t be the one going out on a limb for a while now lmao

      Using Linux was going out on a limb for a long time. Now it has matured enough to be stable without to much knowledge or work.
