narutoxy | The only pro of arch is AUR, but MPR and Pacstall exists | 15:23:00 |
BuonHobo | Fedora just works, it's really polished and it has new packages
Arch is kinda tricky, but it has the great documentation, the AUR and the newest packages
Is there any difference between the two specifically for gaming? | 15:23:37 |
Tuga2k20 | Personally I have never been able to install Arch correctly 😄 | 15:24:22 |
narutoxy | You'll get latest Steam and Lutris and Wine and Proton versions on Arch | 15:24:26 |
BuonHobo | And not on Fedora? | 15:24:38 |
BuonHobo | I just used archinstall, not sure if I'm missing something by doing that | 15:24:57 |
narutoxy | Arch is more bleeding edge. Fedora will be a little slow. | 15:24:59 |
Roo79x | Just out of curiosity. Are there any sim racing fans here?. If you are. What's your experience with sim racing games on Linux? My friends play iRacing, Automobilista, Assetto Corsa, rfactor, F1. Games like that. But they all game on windows. They are not convinced that sim racing on Linux will ever be any good. Or at least as compatible with wheels etc. Some of them have quite elaborate and expensive rigs | 15:25:07 |
Tuga2k20 | Yes!!!!!!!!!! | 15:25:23 |
Tuga2k20 | I love racing games | 15:25:30 |
BuonHobo | Thanks, it's a very hard choice | 15:25:36 |
narutoxy | Go with Fedora it's more polished | 15:25:51 |
narutoxy | Arch may break sometimes | 15:25:57 |
Tuga2k20 | F1 , Horizon, dirt & nfs | 15:26:03 |
BuonHobo | Oh is it something that happens? | 15:26:24 |
narutoxy | Yes users tinker with system and it causes errors. It's mostly problem caused by users not by Arch team itself | 15:26:56 |
Tuga2k20 | I should try fedora | 15:27:27 |
narutoxy | Like messing with Boot partition. Not installing all updates together. Partial updates. | 15:27:35 |
BuonHobo | Fedora is great, also silverblue which is what I'm using now | 15:27:52 |
Tuga2k20 | what means silverblue the latest distro name? | 15:28:20 |
narutoxy | NixOS is like silverblue but uses nix in place of flatpaks | 15:28:38 |
BuonHobo | Silverblue is a version of Fedora where the OS is immutable | 15:28:40 |
Roo79x | Cool. Although as I keep getting told by my friends. Horizon and nfs are not Sim Racing 🤣. They even get upset if I call iRacing a game lol. | 15:28:43 |
narutoxy | Immutable version of Fedora | 15:28:52 |
BuonHobo | I've never tried that one | 15:28:59 |
narutoxy | It's my daily driver and you can backup system with a single configuration file | 15:29:19 |
BuonHobo | Sounds cool | 15:29:46 |
BuonHobo | Linux is so fucking cool | 15:29:52 |
Tuga2k20 | Your right on that! Sim game is something that imitates reality | 15:30:28 |
Roo79x | I like to poke fun at them about that. | 15:31:09 |
