  • first time using linux, how screwed am I?

  • thank you for the insight. glad that its not as hard as people used to do back in the day. i hope wont break it sooner than i hoped so im going to stick with arch for a bit. honestly its been a pretty fun experience so far.

  • thank you for the kind recommendation, ill give it a look. im ankle deep in arch now. ill see where it goes and when it broke ill try different distros.

  • i see. thank you for the info. i dont exactly remember if i have enabled multilib, it does sound familiar. maybe i alr enabled it when i tried a bunch of random things..

  • thank you for the kind offer. ill try to use arch as long as possible. i hope i am a fast learner because I'm a bit lazy to setup a new distro and reconfig everything again

  • truthfully? memes. i always saw people memeing on how small thing can break linux and how barebones it is and after using the actual arch it just dawned on me.

  • 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

  • first time using linux, how screwed am I?

    Jump

  • 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
