  • As others have mentioned, an alternative distro ypu can try is Bazzite. It’s an immutable distro, so most of the OS is read-only. The OS gets installed on 2 partitions (so you’ll need roughly double the storage space) but you’ll boot into one while updates get pushed into the dormant one. When the OS reboots, you’ll get the recently patched partition while the older one waits for updates and also serves as a backup, just in case.

    There’s also Nobara, which is based on Fedora but with gaming specific addons. I think you’ll be able to easily install nVidia drivers as well. It is also a rolling release distro so you’ll get faster updates which I think is better if you want to game in linux.

    Built.myself a new.gaming desktop and decided to dive into thw deep end by installing linux. Been working quite well, so far. Almost all the games i play do not use any anti-cheat, so i don’t feel that i’m missing out on anything. The only game which does not work that well is Roadcraft. I’ll just wait until it is patched to run better. I have lots of games in my backlog to play anyway.


  • Something different and possibly unique / whimsical.

    A lot of train stations have a rubber stamp + ink pad of the station name and a logo / picture. As you trvel around Tokyo via their excellent public transport system, look around or ask their staff where the “ike-stamp” is.

    It became a very unique souvenir of my holiday there.

    Also along the same line, most shrines you visit will have an office where you can purchase a “shrine book” and for a few hundred yen, have a staff write in it the name of the shrine and the date you were there. Another unique souvenir.
