For me both have their use cases. Heroic is my go to for GOG and Epic games and everything else not Steam (e. g. old Windows install files that I still have lying around). EA App only ran for me on Lutris until one day it didn’t. Then I tried with Bottles and it worked ever since. Not trying to add more confusion, but for some people Bottles has a more intuitive interface than Lutris.

I see! It’s working now, thanks.

Lemmyverse link gives me internal server error. Piefed link can’t be reached from lemmy.

Why not test Secureblue instead of Silverblue?

It’s not what OP asked for.

Forgive the not so serious remark: you can run Linux in Excel!

Maybe checking out Secureblue would be something to consider?

Sorry to hear you had trouble with the installation. Since we have such a vast variety of hardware, you will always find a person having trouble with a specific distro I believe. That’s why having so many to choose from is awesome - but also a bit daunting at the start. Glad it’s working now, hope it stays that way.

I remember you asking about what distro to pick, what a wonderful follow-up post. Thank you so much for sharing this.

Thanks for the explanation! I agree, this has been very helpful already. Now I go and do some reading on it.

Oh I see, thanks. I thought you could also edit images with Inkscape. I’m apparently not very well versed in these topics.

Curious why you would need Gimp and Inkscape? Wouldn’t one of them be enough? Is one of them better suited for certain tasks?

That’s not too hard a question for me, I’ve been using the same DE for years: KDE

And here’s KDE’s: https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/design

LineageOS has instructions for Windows/Mac/Linux: https://wiki.lineageos.org/adb_fastboot_guide

Where would one find that?

Same. The dev is very active and open to suggestions. I’ve been using it for a couple of months now and it’s working great.

KeepassXC is great, but I realised very late in the process of setting it up, that the browser extension does not support Flatpak based browsers: “Please note that in general Flatpak and Snap based browsers are not supported, Ubuntu’s Firefox Snap being an exception.” (https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc-browser/wiki/Troubleshooting-guide)

I hope this might change at some point.

Their easy installer is why many people I know installed it, but it only supports 21 devices and mine wasn’t one of them, so I can’t say much about usability or security. If yours is one of them, there’s also a Linux guide on their website: https://doc.e.foundation/easy-installer

Really glad to hear it, I hope it stays that way!
