Would it be your first trial to use Linux for your daily drive?

Hi june, yes. I have a steam deck and used the os a bit to install my emulators and i liked the feel of it. Also the amount of access that you get to all the programs an seeing how they where coded is really cool. Those where the main reasons why i wanted to try linux in the first place. I used to work ocasionally on a machine running ubuntu. But there i just used whats in front of me without changing anything.

I was in your situation before I got FW13, and linux experience in this machine so far is really satisfying! I used Ubuntu in my workplace and that was all. So I’m sure fw12 has decent compatibility with linux distros mentioned in the guide page

Looking forward to batch 7 shipping. Anyone else planning on installing bazzite? I’ve never run it before but looks pretty sweet. Thinking Gnome for a better touch experience, but just getting that from research, and IRL experience or KDE Vs Gnome in terms of using it on a touchscreen?

@Jack03 - I’d say just do it and see how you go. Easy enough to go back if it’s not for you and we’re past the point now where Linux is just for hobbyists.

I would love to run Mint because it’s my daily driver, but it seems like tablet mode doesn’t work with it. If I can’t make mint run, my next runner-up is Bazzite because it all works out of the box. :]
As much as I love KDE it seems like Gnome would be more touch friendly, everything is huge and easy to hit with a finger, and it just feels like a tablet interface already.
