On my main laptop I use KDE, it’s smooth and gets the job done. On my tablet, I use GNOME. It runs well, and is touch-optimized. On my other laptop, I use gnome for no particular reason.

This looks nice but what license does it use?

This is a great site, thanks for sharing.

If I’m honest, I forgot what MATE was, so yeah I reviewed it and it still seems a bit lighter, but not too much.

Not bad specs, aside from that CPU. It is terrible. My wii probably has more processing power than that.

I was just about to comment this lol

skids rejoice

I use the one that comes with my DE, but if I am using a WM I use kitty

He meant lighter as in performance wise.

By install another distro, I meant install a distro that has a nonfree repo(I’m using pureos), and just boot from a usb. I’m not sure how steam is packaged, but I’d imagine it would go against the point of a distro like pureos.

Thanks for the invite, I decided to have a squizz at the github, and saw that

RUNNING NON-STEAM GAMES WITH PROTON OUTSIDE OF STEAM IS NOT SUPPORTED. DO NOT ASK FOR HELP WITH THIS:

Do you think that Wine-GE might be better for GOG games? I remember Wine-GE working fine for me before.

Thanks for the input, do you use the official steam client?

It’s just a preference, I prefer downloading from GOG, without the DRM or proprietary clients. Edit: I know steam has an open source command line tool

Proton is Wine with prefixes

Can you elaborate? Do you mean that it includes prefixes with it?

emulation for old games isn’t so demanding

By old, I meant 2010 to 2015, which is where my laptop reaches it’s limits. I’ve tried ps3 emulation and it couldn’t pull that off, and there is no emulator for 360 on linux(that I know of).

Not to mention the menu button just doesn’t work at all sometimes.

Yeah… to my knowledge it’s the same as a “normal” UEFI system, but instead of pressing esc or f12 you hold the alt or option key on startup. Then select your USB, and boot. I’d strongly advise you test everything before installing.

This depends on which iMac it is. If it’s an Intel iMac, it is slightly easier, and if it’s an Apple Silicon iMac, it will be a bit more difficult. If it’s a Silicon, you’d need to use Asahi Linux, or have varying support. If it’s Intel, I’m pretty sure it’s similiar to installing on a PC, but can’t say for sure. I’ll look into it more

why
