oh my, thank you

i see, thats good to know ill fix mine.

thank you, ill go with arch for now and see how far i got

thats interesting. thank you ill look into it

this pc is mostly for gaming and entertainment so not much is lost if its wiped or broke.

i do love tinkering, just that software tinker is a bit out of my depth

thank you for your input. after a lot of other input and consideration i’ll keep playing with arch until it broke then ill decide later if i want to retry it or go with bazzite. or maybe see other enticing distro too. there is so much…

thank you for telling me your workflow. with bit of time i think i can follow your workflow as its quite simple (at least sound like it)

Here is my tutorial:

• enable multilib repo by editing pacman config
• sudo pacman -Syu steam

It’s as easy as that. Thats how I run it.

yeah, about that. it seems i mixed wiki as tutorial and was but intimidated when i saw how to do manual terminal config for controller setup, graphic driver, and other stuffs. in my mind that just getting the base app is not enough, you need to find the specific perquisite and getting them one by one.

i decided that ill keep playing with arch until it breaks then ill see if i want to give it another go or try bazzite. i love tinkering but software tinker is a bit out of my depth

im not sure if my machine will need that level of stuff for my usage nor my tech level that high to require something like that. so its nice to know that i will not lose much if i change distro with a more streamlined one.

after lots of input i decide to just play with arch until it breaks then switch to bazzite.

thank you for your input

It sounds like you’re thinking of Arch + KDE as similar to building a PC, where if you get the same parts you can hook them up for the same experience.

yeah you nailed it.

i think ill keep learning arch and see how far i got, when it inevitably break ill choose later if i want to retry it or just go with bazzite, its a mostly pc for gaming so there isnt much important stuff in it

thank you for the input, i decided that ill keep using arch until it break then ill switch to bazzite. its mostly for gaming so i dont mind if i lose data in that pc

if i may ask, what kind of limitation that makes you switch?

anything that have good implementation of kde is worth a look for me. i love kde.

thank you for your info

im not sure if they released steamos yet, few people recommend bazzite ill give it a look later

ive heard of aur, ill try to look at it further, thanks for the info

i mixed wiki as a tutorial step by step on how to install steam on linuk it seems

after looking at it more i realized its more of a wiki than a tutorial. my initial thought is if i use pacman to install steam i had to find and get the dependencies by myself so thats why i went with flatpak route.

few people recommend bazzite too. ill try to give it a look

lmao, im not sure about that. i just followed a couple of tutorials on youtube on how to do it
