Ventoy can be installed on a larger drive and then just drag and drop the iso into the drive and have it boot and install. I like this as those that start Linux often time want to experiment and use different Linux distros. Having them on Ventoy would allow you to have multiple versions available at a moment's notice. https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html I would suggest that you have two drives (so that you can back up your installation/setup) in case it has any issues. I have dozens of Linux distros, Windows from 98 through 11, and even Apple! Oh I forgot I have Servers as well (Truenas) and bootable tools (partition manager programs) Will load more Quote
ritualclarity Posted Sunday at 02:31 PM Posted Sunday at 02:31 PM Proof that LInux can have issues. I lost my bluetooth devices. Checking the monitor service it was off. Strange, I didn't turn it off. Trying it, it showed that it didn't have a device. (or driver) but it worked. I updated it (major update) and I guess it lost it. Dam. Had to use an IR mouse (always keep a wired or wireless keyboard mouse handy regardless of what OS etc you use. ) Anyway. I rebooted it and nothing. I left it for a bit and did my work and poop on my computer for a bit then sat down popped up the terminal (super key+ T) and sudo apt update. Saw that there were some more updates. (didn't see any driver updates but a firmware one) then did the sudo apt upgrade. A couple of minutes later it was done.Rebooted the computer loged on and the bluetooth was auto recognized. All my bluetooth items working without any reconnection etc. By this time the amount of time I have used this computer I would have been nagged hundreds of times and had at least 5 problems that required my attention not to mention hours of updates to do with the risk that something will be fugged up when it does. Not to mention how much spying Microsloth would have done in the meantime. One other thing if you are using mint, and possibly Unbuntu you would have flatpacks and or snaps. I believe they don't update with the command above. Smart in a way because they are only apps. They don't need to generally be updated as often or as much as the main system (which is suppose to be updated to help provide you security) At least with me regardless of the command to update I still use the app manager to update my flatpacks. (there is a command for that as well but I haven't memorized it yet. ) Quote

Also I agree Bazzite is the best for testing. It is likely the first OS that many moving from Windows (and game) will use. It is also much more easier to get a standard version. It has version control so if there is an issue it is much more easier to revert it than a standard traditional linux system. They just need to let everybody know the version they tested on. Hell they should test with the last 2 or 3 versions of Bazzite IMO. Those that are like Wendell, or more proficient in Linux already know what to buy in hardware and like he stated can dig depper into the system and get what they want to use. Use the newest just released kernel etc. I for one, if I was having a linux gaming system (which is awesome) would use Bazzite myself. Just easier to maintain so that I can focus on gaming. However, I play mostly Windows games and would need a Windows gaming PC of some level continuing on for the future. I like to mod the game which would also add a level of complexity and I woudn't know if it was my stupid ass doing something wrong or the OS / GAme that is fucked up. Just easier. If I had a gaming system for Linux, I'd install the game there as well and play it (primary gameing system and if had a problem use my Windoze system to play that game. It would make it so I would have to use Windoze less and less. (Sorry for typos. I am typing on this laptop's keyboard which 1. isn't the same as I am used to and 2. doesn't give as much feedback.
