It's such a terrible DE anyway. permalink fedilink source parent [–] mindlight@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago If you want a Couch Gaming Station I recommend you to look at ChimeraOS. Linux first that boots directly to Stream Big Picture (since it's based on SteamOS) and it supports emulators and Epic Game Store. On my old i5-8700T with qUHD630 it pretty much was a install, reboot, login to Steam and start playing. My Wireless Xbox Controller USB dongle was plug'n'play. permalink fedilink source parent [–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago Nobara has, for me, been the most plug and play no headache distro I've touched, ever. permalink fedilink source parent [–] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago* What brand of graphics card do you have? If it's Nvidia Pop!_OS will likely work best. If you have an AMD card I've heard good things about EndeavorOS. Also, feel free to shop around for a desktop environment (DE) you like, which controls the look and how things are organized. While distros have a default, it's pretty easy to swap them. I personally use KDE Plasma (the same DE the Steam Deck uses) with Pop!_OS permalink fedilink source parent
