  • Everyone loves Bazzite, and they’re probably all right, but it did not run very well on my old gaming laptop.
    Since people often mention Linux (in general) as being a good OS for older hardware, I thought this anecdote might be a helpful perspective to some.
    I tried two or three other distros on that laptop, and they all ran fine as expected. I assume Bazzite has some higher system requirements to power its cool features.






  • First time I installed Linux was maybe two years ago, and I watched a video that basically told me it’s best to start with something simple and install things as you need them, so I got plain ol Ubuntu.
    Well it turns out it’s really hard to get basic shit working when basic shit doesn’t work. I was having some crazy dual monitor problems.
    I’ve tried Pop and Endeavor now and I’m much happier.








    1. You are trying to learn a lot of different things at once. I don’t think you’ll find many “coding” experts in the real world, but you will find react experts and flask experts. I think you need to focus on something to get the satisfaction you’re craving. You still might not have found your favorite language/framework/project, so it’s fine to keep searching as well, but I would avoid going around in a circle spending a week barely scratching the surface of the same 5 skills in a cycle.
    2. You will never stop learning. You will get better, but there will always be something new to learn. Even if 90% of your code works “intentionally” as you say, there will still be 10% that you need to trial and error and stack overflow.
