Where are all our Linux peeps?
After watching a lot of current vids they are recommending Garuda and Nobara for gaming.
opinions?
Since one has responded I’m going to try Garuda, downloading the KDE Dragonized Gaming Edition.
I’m choosing it for two reasons.
1. I knew of this destroyed from years ago and had not heard of Golden Eggroll’s Nobara, even though he seems to be a big name with Proton.
2. One review said it Nobara is optimized which is good and bad as standard packs might not apply.
I almost didn’t go Garuda since it’s an arch fork, but the desktop is extremely Mac like so I’m going to give it a shot. Also so many YouTubers are ranting about how good it is. Elementary was my favorite and they are all saying don’t go elementary os now for reasons…
Ok, installing it via Rufus to a 64gig thumb drive. Here goes…
hmm.. error right away. "The image you have selected is an iOS hybrid, but it’s creators have not made it compatible with iso/file copy mode. As a result, DD image writing mode will be enforced." I have no idea what that means but OK is only option so I’m going to click it.
Click start…. Done a couple minutes later. Restart to bios to choose usb… selecting boot with Nvidia drivers…. And I’m booted. I assume I must now install.
clicking install Garuda Linux. Very pretty interface btw.
And… it’s not seeing my sata drive. Back to bios, most likely error, the asrock bios is quite temperamental… or I might have to get puppy or mint and format my hard drive… back after troubleshooting.
