  • I’m not sure about migrating

    I didn’t think of launching the kubuntu installed steam but to install fresh in the ram, I have a second m.2 2tb that just needs to be installed in my pc if I am going to install Cachy, but since I took 0 security precautions on my install I didn’t think there would be an issue seeing the .steam folder.

    I’ll check that link

    I didn’t bother with windows on this machine, my last was dual boot

    Thank you


  • If the distros on the same general kernel line

    my kubuntu (24.04.3) is using 6.8 I believe

    Just don’t be let down

    I won’t be, I am simply exploring some of other options and if there is no noticeable improvement I’ll stick to what I am using. Just wanted to avoid the install if possible (I am so tired after work hours reading/setups gets tedious, if I go full install that will be a weekend thing).

    Thank you


    1. currently in /home default directory. Should I copy the apps to somewhere global for this test (1 game will suffice with steamvr? I didn’t bother with any encryption or anything so I figured I could just go straight to that directory
    2. I have a 2nd m.2 ready to use, it’s just not installed in the machine atm
    3. I don’t have much in my /home except steam+library, obs, and lutris with sims3 installed





  • Moved the gf to linux a few months ago, I came back to it as a semi (now exclusively) daily driver a few months before her to ensure she would have a great experience. Everything we need to do is easily covered, though it is still not “ready” for everyone it is ready for a lot of us. She knows nothing about it, just uses it without being spied upon and data harvested. She is happier now than under windows (that she knew just as much about) and I am still her tech support. I will be checking out CachyOS in the next weeks to see if I can squeeze a bit more out of my new hardware. With more normies will come more streamlined usage.

    When I started with linux back in 00ish the install took a lot of time and the setup was long, choosing which packages to install, took hundreds of clicks and a lot of time, now… Kubuntu can be installed with less than 15 clicks and 20 mins of your time. Bring on the normies, eventually linux could replace win/mac as the dominant os choice, more normies means support gets better






  • English has a hard enough time being exact as it is, so I do agree with your statement.

    I doubt it is the fact they are corrected(using my perspective as I do not know this person), rather HOW they are corrected. Sometimes I see someone correct another using good natured wit and humour, being polite, and the target of said criticism takes it well and learns, other times they are quite unfriendly and harsh. I don’t mind correction that is polite, I will absolutely ignore the advice if rendered harshly and condescendingly.

    This goes for other situations as well, not gonna go into them as several are landmines, but the approach to correction needs to be more friendly than aggressive.





  • I am dual booting as I get VR to a better level, but I want that cancer off my system completely one day. Right now I have no monitors for vr performance in linux (any suggestions? FPSVR is my monitor for windows in VR) but it “feels” like often I am getting less than 20 fps (eye fatigue and strain that does not occur in the same games on windows) tho it looks like it is at least 35-60fps in the recorded playback, it just feels off.

    I am hoping for some feed back on this from people that have used it. I could use bottles but doesn’t that also require a windows “install” or container type thing like this? I am just exploring different avenues to get things working and this looks promising, tho a VM may make a bit of a dent in my old ryzen 7-3800 and I am fairly confidant if I had an amd card instead of the RTX 4070ti super my experience would be better but that is a cost I cannot swallow yet and I need a new cpu more. In the end I will prolly try to get wine and bottles working but a simple to get running app like this could be the short term answer
