do you use linux or windows? i use ubuntu!
I use arch btw.
I use Kubuntu btw.
I also use Arch, btw.
I use doors btw
TempleOS
Could you not make me feel miserable out of nowhere? I am a mostly decent person?
The only honest answer in the whole thread
Both. I’d prefer Linux because it respects me as a user, but unfortunately too much stuff constantly breaks to fully convert. The moment I can play Assetto Corsa with all my mods using my wheel in VR I’ll consider fully switching. Many other games already work though, so I’m slowly converting to using Linux as my default and Windows as the exception instead of the other way around.
(I use Arch btw)
There are distros that don’t break
Which wheel do you use?
Forgot the number, but one of the most common Logitech ones. Right now I’m not even getting past the first hurdle though, which is getting Assetto Corsa with Content Manager and mods to start. I spent a few hours on it and then decided that I had better things to do with my time
The common Logitech steering wheels should work if you have the steam-devices package installed on your system. Alternatively you can get the necessary udev rules from the oversteer repo: https://github.com/berarma/oversteer/tree/master/data/udev
(oversteer is also pretty handy)
I’m on holiday right now but I can get back to you on how to get Assetto Corsa with Content Manager to work.
Oh this is useful information, thanks!
Linux for gaming Linux for servers Linux for desktops/notebooks Linux at work Linux for mobile
I use all 3, ordered by how often I use them: Linux > MacOS (hackintosh) > Windows
Linux, it fits my needs better on desktop, and is much less painful to troubleshoot than Windows, with more freedom and control than macOS.
GNU/Linux only, with KDE Plasma for desktop as possible. Using it on work laptop (Kubuntu), home laptop (openSUSE Tumbleweed), PC (openSUSE Tumbleweed, also used for gaming), Steam Deck (Arch-based SteamOS). I don’t use spyware/adware so Windows is out of question for me. Also it is not free as in freedom and opensource.
Nice to see another openSUSE Tumbleweed user!
Linux, but I keep windows on the other drive just in case I need a windows only app. Rarely happens except for VR.
Windows and Linux dual boot on my PC. Linux on Steam Deck (obviously, since it’s the default)
Fedora KDE on home computer
Manjaro KDE on wife’s computer
Endeavor Sway on small laptop
MX Linux XFCE on GPD Pocket
Fedora GNOME on work non-sanctioned laptop
Ubuntu WSL on work sanctioned laptopManjaro
I highly recommend avoiding manjaro like the plague, their team is incredibly incompetent (see: https://manjarno.pages.dev/ ), I say this as someone who has given people manjaro for years and regretted it, I was also their it person, manjaro regularly broke every few months and gave people a very bad taste of linux
for example, why are kernels given version numbers in packages? This caused 3 separate peoples computers to break multiple times. Everything good about manjaro comes from arch, everything bad about manjaro comes from the manjaro team.
Y’know how it’s not rolling release because they delay packages by 2 weeks? They actually do no testing in this time. How do I know this? They pushed an update that caused steam to uninstall your desktop environment. Famously covered by linus tech tips… this is something that should have easily been caught, and yet the two week window did absolutely nothing.
the truth is for manjaro there is no real usecase, there’s no set of desires that align with manjaro being the best choice for you. I am not asking you to switch away from manjaro, but I do not think we should ever recommend it to anyone, and on your next machine, I recommend trying the arch installer.
But if what you’re looking for is an easy pre-setup arch, use endeavoros
If you want something simple and up to date, use fedora kinoite
If you’re a power user and want to configure every little thing about their system, use arch or nixos
If you don’t care at all about updates and want the most rock solid system possible, debian.
I fully expected someone to respond like this, but here’s the thing…
My wife and I moved over to Manjaro when it was the hot new thing and we were new to Linux. She stays on LTS and only updates a couple times a year - and thusly have had no issues at all with it. I’m not about to demand that she let me re-image her computer and undo all of her customizations just because the internet hates Manjaro.
Simple fact is that she’s on Linux and I’m proud of her for being willing to take that step.
I named several other distros including the very ones that you man-splaned to me, don’t get hung up on the one ;)I literally said

in my post
I’d use linux in a heartbeat if it was supported by the tools I use for work.
Windows. Can’t be arsed to deal with Linux.
I use both. Windows for the domain, backup, Video-surveillance, emby and some other critical things, and linux for proxmox and a lot of diverse vms. Mainly ubuntu lts.
It’s not a religous thing, it’s a pragmatic one. Best tool for the job
Linux (windows at work tho).
I can’t get SteamVR to work in Linux unfortunately, it’s the primary thing preventing me from deleting my Windows partition
What issue do you have?
Using the Index, SteamVR keeps throwing a display not found error for the headset. Tracking seems to be registering but the screens remain black. I saw some people say that replacing the trident cable fixed this issue for them, but I am doubtful since it just works in Windows. I tried the stable, legacy, and beta versions of SteamVR, all to the same effect. Also tried changing the amount of displays connected and what port the headset uses. I imagine it’s some sort of display driver issue (Nobara linux, wayland on nvidia) but I have not been able to figure it out.
