Same here. Installed Kubuntu on my gaming laptop about 3 months ago. Last week switched to Bazzite (was having issues with a few games not running, Sable being one of them, and didnt feel like messing around with the settings any more). Really loving Bazzite and the fact that games are just working now with minimal to zero messing with various settings.

I've been almost sideswiped while driving and had to pull over into a parking lot, and sat on the grass to calm down for like 10 minutes. So, I feel this picture.

I bought my first gun, a shotgun, two month ago for home defense. I also got some of these home defense rounds, it looks like little plates stacked up inside the shell. I guess they aren't supposed to penatrate drywall, so they are safer to use inside a house to reduce accidental or unintentional injuries.

It is! I've really been enjoying the KDE experience with Kubuntu!

Initially I tried downloading a few "retro" windows xp/2000 look a like themes, but something got messed up and it wouldn't let me log in? Something with the SDDM. Luckily I had just installed Kubuntu fresh earlier that day, so I hadn't set anything up, so it was easy enough to just reinstall everything, and I've just been sticking with the built in themes and not really messing with anything else lol.

I did see that with Bazzite, which is why I think I'll try it out. I just don't want to go through the whole process, only to end up with the same issues I have now due to, apparently, having a Nvidia GPU in my laptop. I know no one can tell me if I will or won't, and I just have to try it, but that's about my only hesitation.

Sure! I'd been playing with regular Gnome Ubuntu for a long while. Never really liked Gnome, figured if I had to use it some day I would just deal.

But then, on reddit of all places, I read about KDE, and Kubuntu. I looked at the screenshots and holy hell, it kinda looks like Windows!!

Now.. like, I'm not some sort of windows fangirl here, it's just, they layout with the task bar, start menu, all that jazz makes a whole buncha sense to me. And to see that there was a version of Ubuntu that had that kinda interface fast tracked me into installing it.

I like using Ubuntu too because it seems pretty straight forward and approachable to someone like me, who isn't super great with computers in general, and who certainly doesn't want to spend a bunch of time tinkering with every setting and what not. But I also value my privacy and not funneling money to billionaires...

So now I'm running Kubuntu, and while it's been great, I am running into issues with some of my games I want to play on Steam and using Lutris. So now I'm back to having to tweak shit, and I'm not too happy about it.

I do know of Bazzite, so I may wipe my Kubuntu install to try it. I just, I don't want to be in the same boat again, and go through all of that.

I am also planning on getting a SteamDeck when my bonus from work comes through after the new year, so this may all be moot, as I am hoping to do my Steam/GOG gaming on that.

Edit: I should specify, my laptop has a GTX 1050ti and I guess Nvidia is the bane of linux or something, and is most likely the cause of most of my issues playing games.

And if a republican voter wishes HARD enough, maybe they too can one day defraud the government and the taxpayers!
