What’s wrong with just plain Arch? It works well enough for my desktop and for Valve to build SteamOS. When gaming having the latest packages are a huge advantage.

Unfortunately I can not watch the video right now

Edit: So he just made an atomic openSUSE distro for handhelds. I like that it has BTRFS snapshots, I use it on my desktop as well. Nice for people that prefer openSUSE I guess but I will stick to Arch.

Wow… That’s quite a reach… I don’t understand why you would think that is what I am implying. I am just saying that there needs to be a way to deal with abusive content. Every platform has it, even 4chan and 8chan and other degenerate places on the internet.

I’m all about free speech and the right to privacy but that does not equal free reign to post whatever the fuck you want without consequences. I am not saying we need to persecute or track people but there has to be a way to remove stuff that is inappropriate or illegal.

Do you really want a social media platform where someone could spam CSAM and it would stay on there forever?

How are you planning to deal with the removal illegal content?

I like the idea of a decentralized web but when I tried ZeroNet I saw some despicable stuff on there.

If you do nothing about such content then your platform lost likely will end up as a pedofile haven.

If your distro is packaging older versions then you shouldn’t be surprised that things break. Tumbleweed is a rolling release distro

This is not my experience on an Arch system. KDE has never crashed on me

I am not sure if it required a blob or not but I use an ASUS USB-BT500 on my Arch system and I only installed the bluez package for it to work (and bluedevil for the GUI on KDE).

I think many would say Linux Mint is a good laptop distro but I don’t have any experience with PopOS. Today I use Arch on my desktop and my laptop. Mom and tech illiterate people I help gets Mint

Good choice in my opinion! It was my first distro on my desktop. The btrfs filesystem and snapshots helped me a few times when I broke my system while experimenting and it worked well for gaming. The Chaotic AUR is nice too with pre-compiled AUR packages

I completely agree! 🤩

Hello from the Lemmy side!

If you want an Arch-based gaming distro there is Garuda (also a non heavily-themed version). I used Garuda before switching to plain Arch. It ran pretty well and I really liked the btrfs filesystem and the snapshots. It meant I could easily restore a backup of my system if I manage to break it. Which I did a few times.

I would suggest a Steam Deck but it might be too big for you if you want a pocket sized device
