It will depend on how upstream (Fedora Silverblue) implements it. From my understanding, it will straight up replace it, and remove SDDM.

KDE Linux will probably have it first.

My biggest issue: no support for rdp

Pet peeve: In immutable distros you can’t change the background image… and I happen to strongly dislike Aurora’s artwork. I run Aurora on my work laptop, and my login screen looks like some kind of a bizarre childish acid trip. Embarrassing to say the least, but the distro itself is top notch.

In Bazzite it’s usually between same day and 24 hours, since the build process is fully automated.

I agree 100%. Gnome is gorgeous. I switched to KDE because they get gaming related features first, I assume because of the Valve collab.

You won’t lose it. They’ll just turn it off by default for new users.

That’s exactly what’s happening.

I use an M2 Caddy with a 1TB NVME SSD to boot into Aurora Linux on my work laptop.

The laptop keeps it’s Windows license intact and when I need to move to a new laptop, it’s plug and play work.

CUPS works with every printer in my office out of the box.

I am the user with less IT support tickets, I don’t require Windows, Office nor Adobe licenses.

IT is happy, I’m happy. Every day is pure bliss.

Faustina, it’s the FOSS alternative to the Kindle’s default font.

• ImageMagick
• Ghostscript
• Pandoc
• LittleCMS (CMS: Color Management System)
• Wireguard
• Rclone

Great video, probably the best I’ve seen from LTT.

AMD has been pure bliss for me. ~3 years ago, when I distrohopped my 3080 TI sucked on every distro.

This looks amazing. Thanks for sharing!

Steam Machine

If the Steam Machine really takes off, I see way more people moving to Linux on their main rigs and laptops, and in turn making companies stop ignoring it, if it becomes a massive success I imagine:

• Mainstream games like FIFA supporting Linux
• Apps like Affinity Studio being distributed through Steam officially supported via Proton.
• Epic games will be the last company to keep ignoring Linux.
• Valve adopting Waydroid for SteamOS (for Netflix, Spotify, YouTube, etc)
• NVIDIA will redouble their Linux efforts.
• Greatest than ever VR support in Linux

Steam Frame

• Lots of Linux apps will work on Android desktop mode, like LibreOffice, Inkscape, etc.
• Linux phones will receive a lot more maintainers and funding.

Steam Deck

• Android apps on the Deck via Valve’s Waydroid
• Steam Deck 2 on ARM

Other

• New use cases for ARM will motivate RISCV to speed up it’s growth.
• KDE & Arch will receive more funding from Valve
• More contributions to the Kernel
• More Linux developers
• Increased security for Linux
• Flathub will grow

Does Briar ask for anything ?

The paywall is a problem.

I don’t know the solution to your funding, I just know that this one doesn’t work for me.

AFAIK Proton-GE uses VLC and Valve is from the US, where VLC is considered to breach some codec licenses I believe h264 decoding in particular. But I’m not sure, it’s been a long time since I’ve read about it.

I would go with Aurora or Fedora Kinoite. Atomic + KDE is unbreakable and easy for Windows casuals.

The only thing I dislike about Aurora is the illustrations baked into the distro. SDDM & Bazaar have them and can’t be changed. But it’s a freaking awesome distro.

I use it daily on my work laptop through an external USBC M2 NVME caddy. Today I had to move to a new work laptop and I just plugged it to the new one and that was it, my OS and all my stuff on my new work laptop in just a few seconds. No downtime. No drivers to update. Nothing.

The laptops have their factory Windows untouched. No warranty is void. IT is happy and I get to use Linux at work.

Plus, I can plug the drive to my home desktop PC running Bazzite and open files as if it was a regular thumbdrive.

This setup makes me so happy.

To fix the missing videos, use Proton-GE. Easiest method: Download it with Proton-up QT (bundled with Bazzite) then chose Proton-GE from the game’s Steam compatibility settings.

It’s because they use proprietary codecs that Valve can’t freely distribute.
