Basically the title. Loving PopOS as my daily, but I understand that PopOS uses their own process and makes sure that only a checked driver gets wide release. Great for stability, less great for playing games that just came out. Is there a distro that this community generally recommends for gaming?

    Also the new Arch install script is very easy and reduces the need for Manjaro, even for new users.

      I would still not recommend arch to new users or people who want a stable system

      I disagree, it just does the steps in the manual for you. You still need to know what’s happening.

      I tried using it, got a bunch of python stack traces and eventually decided to do it manually. The reason why it failed was that windows put my EFI partition onto a different drive than itself.

      An installer needs to catch stuff like that, so archinstall is beta at best.

        On the one hand, you’re right. But on the other, the fuck is Windows even doing here:

          It’s windows. It always does absolutely asinine shit like this. It’s only getting worse as time goes on, so the earlier you switch to a proper OS, the better.

        I don’t think a Linux installer should need to worry about Windows, frankly.
