Shit, only did a quick search, saw Pix and called it a day, not on my system at home. If that other guy pointed to the correct one, that would be the way. Sorry 😔

Did you install/enable/make default flathub? I found Pix here, or you could also follow ZeStigs direction to add repositories, very useful to know how. Hope this helps and try not to use snaps, hehe, flatpaks are more reliable

edit: wrong pix, gotta read more

Generous to say Bazzite installation takes 20 minutes

I’ve installed Kubuntu on several machines and it usually takes about that long, with updates.

We are not “normal” in this sense, I no longer build my own pc I go to my favourite local computer store and buy the parts and have them put it together, but I will never buy one that I did not choose the parts. Since I won’t be buying one I didn’t look at the warranty but would hope that it is at least 2 - 3 yrs (should be 5 but, yeah). Most people will simply send it off to steam and pay whatever the cost is. I was beating the hell out of my 3800 for 5 years (some VR games sent that cpu to the red line and stayed there for hours) and it is still a viable machine, owners just need to hope they don’t get a dud cause I don’t think these are off the shelf parts (cpu/gpu/mobo) so replacement will be difficult either way.

For people like you and me, sure, not worth it. I know at least 3 people that are getting one because it is better than what they have, they will never upgrade even the drive let alone ram. PC I upgraded from was a ryzen 7 3800 with a rtx 4070ti super, now on a ryzen 9 9950x with an rx 9070xt. Remember this is better than what many steam users have currently, and again, these people will just use it til it dies as is. Plus this gives devs a target hardware to code for to maximize their sales and optimize their games for (there are some indie devs that do care to optimize unlike the AAA types). If the system was going to go for the original price it would almost be worth it for a living room pc, if my pc wasn’t already filling the role.

and sweat is amazingly corrosive

But, but, it’s so inconvenient to have to pull out your phone, find your app, turn it on, then turn it off again. So much easier if the dirty G just does it for you. I know I can’t wait for this perfectly secure, privacy respecting feature, to invade my personal life

Looks like sarcasm

They’re using Mint, the Mint forums should have all the answers they will need with a community that (hopefully) remembers what it’s like to NOT know something “basic”, and I second man pages as they will lead to deeper knowledge of the OS, especially to understand the why/how of flags and syntax.

I learned a while ago that clicking around on a web site and accidentally wandering into an area that is supposed to be secure but isn’t is hacking as well
