  • A couple people recommended Fedora spins but I’d recommend just sticking with the big distros (that have up-to-date graphics drivers readily available - so not Debian.) A lot of the gaming-focused distros are only saving you a few terminal commands and increase your risk of running into issues; they’re good, but they may not be as 100% stable as you’ll find in major long-running distros like Fedora or Mint.

    I have settled on Fedora with KDE Plasma. Here’s basically everything I copy pasted for gaming:

    # install steam, discord, nvidia drivers
    sudo dnf install https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm -y
    sudo dnf config-manager --enable fedora-cisco-openh264 -y
    sudo dnf update -y
    sudo dnf install steam discord akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda
    
    # install bluetooth Xbox driver
    sudo dnf install git dkms
    cd /tmp
    git clone https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo.git && cd xpadneo
    sudo ./install.sh
    

    I also had to enable Legacy X11 App Support through the settings gui so that Discord could receive push to talk presses without having focus.











  • I have been using KeePass for eight years. Used to just shuffle the file around with Google Drive, now I have it sync’d with Syncthing across a few devices. I use its notes feature to store associated data like S3 keys and it stores my SSH key and KeePassXC can automatically add it to an SSH agent.

    I don’t really have any complaints about it.
