I was forced into using SteamOS because my puter broked. Can i just install it on my desktop after it's fixed? Can i make a regular Linux as plug-and-play as steamos? (hexbear.net)

I actually did ditch bazzite for cachy because of this. I have since dabbled, though, and it wasn’t as tough as I thought it could be. There’s some stuff to learn about containers and the like, but it’s not too bad…

Having said that, I’m not going back. CachyOS is good enough for me!

    I think I'm a bit too blob-no-thoughts to try and figure out this container stuff from zero knowledge without having the ability to do some stuff kinda wrong and lean heavily on existing scripts and stuff.

    I'm not a computer science person and I don't have the mental energy to teach myself this type of stuff given that I have zero foundation. I can copy a script from a website, but I'm absolutely not going to bother with trying to teach myself some arcane junk I'm going to use exactly one time in my life just so I can do something that was a one-click install on Windows.

    This shouldn't be this hard, and it shouldn't be difficult for developers to understand why nobody wants to do this bullshit. Just let me open a package in a package manager like a normal OS, holy shit.
