Now is the time to switch for those who haven’t already.

There are two types of people. Masochists and sadists.

Masochists put up a TODO poll with "Linux from Scratch" as an option. Sadists vote for that option.

hey thanks man. your videos have really been helping me out. It's finally starting to click and now I'm addicted to the CLI!!!

Bravo, Chris. The second half was spot on my thought train.

You are very correct regarding graphics settings, man there are so many effects I run in there to kill off the moment I see them.
Depth of Field the first time I saw it, was with the first Metro game, and at that time it cost you 10-20 FPS enabling it, so you paid in performance to have blurry vision outside of your scope of the rifle.
I know for a fact I do not want to pay for an effect I dislike and that comes naturally when focusing, so that became a vendetta against Depth of Field from me and it is one of the first things I disable in the options of any new game.

So what I disable for effects is:
Lens Flare (Do not want to be blinded by a sun in the game which is what this is usually used for)
Depth of Field (Blurryness for the sake of emulating a camera)
Motion Blur (Really annoying, it is gone the moment I see it)
Ambient Occlusion (Varies, usually dependent on what other annoying hidden effects that this one hides, tends to make lights a bit sharper)
Music (Yes, in Coop games, this one is always stabbed to death by me, I want to hear my comms, not the ramped up music interferring.)

I'm just curious if you have had any experience with Intel's ARC line of graphics cards on Linux. If so, what's your position or take towards their compatibility, integration, and performance on a Linux system? I'm not interested in buying one per-se, just curious towards the operability between hardware vendor architects with already existing Operating System Kernels, specifically in this case the Linux Kernel.

I used i3 for a while. it seems to me that the performance tends to take a dive after a month or two, and I don't really know why that is. I imagine it'd take quite a while to notice if I had an SSD, but my install was on a spinning drive. refreshed that install because I did have it for a while at that point, thinking that might be the issue. and it again worked fine for the first while, and it again tanked in performance. I checked the drive and it came back clean. seems to be an i3 issue, but I can't be certain. it kinda sucked, because I did start to like it well enough.

Hey Chris what do you think of EndevourOS ? I'm trying to get btrfs/snapper to create snapshots, snap-pac, grub-btrfs, snapper-gui.. it took a while but I got it working perfectly, I could move back and forth through snapshots in Arch-linux, so thought it time to reinstall and repeat the install, and some thing messed my config and now it all a mess 8( ...I should of just used the original install and not try to repeat the install...

(Edit: Wrote this before you started showing your guide). I would love a series of videos on choosing your first Linux distro (aka pro's and con's of each/what best suits different needs), installing it, and installing programs you need, troubleshooting any issues you run into. Maybe also pro's and con's of using a base distro vs a pre-customised one (i.e. Fedora vs Nobara).

[Honored_First_Kai]

a guide on this would be wonderful ❤ proton and such, any guides on gaming on linux stuff would be wonderful!

[lolkthnxbai]

11:32 you're not alone. Ive easily spent more time setting up my gentoo system to game than actually gaming, and I had fun doing it.

[darkphase]

Further into the video, I suppose the biggest thing I would still ask for a greater explanation of, is why you would choose rolling vs stable. My understanding is that rolling is best for gamers as you are more likely to get games to work on there especially with newer packages.

Hey, Chris! I'm getting ready to move to Linux and I'm trying to figure out how to port my normal "strategy" of program installs. I use the Portable version of a program whenever possible so that I never have to re-setup all the different options each time: save locations, window locations, etc. That way I can just backup the program directory and move it where ever I want to run it. How would I implement this strategy on a Linux system. Thanks!

I used dwm much longer than Chris but I am not that familiar with the patch-program. 😏I literally used it once per new dwm-version, just to install the systemtray-patch. After that so much has changed (large patch) that I consider it more cumbersome to keep using the patch-program than just doing it myself. But the basic principle of the patch-program is straightforward: the patch program gets all the information it needs from the diff-file which gets generated automatcially by comparing the changed code to the original code (unpatched dwm), it simply reads which lines to add and remove in which files and it gets a rough (after the files changed compared to the original file) indication of where those lines are. If the software is in another directory then the user simply points out where it is. Not so complicated. I think that you can learn relevant things from LfS but for me it is much more interesting to just read how it works (and make sure that I understand it) than actually compiling all the software on my own system.

1:07:06 - I completely agree. This should be the entry point to Linux. Once you understand that you can get the most for whatever you want to do on linux.

Many times I used Awsome wm I had memory leak. Does anyone knows this issue?

4:45-5:00 We can see the background change, but MangoHud never says if vkbasalt is off for some reason

Shout out to Chris and his amazing channel. One comment on LFS is, that if you -do- decide to go down that broken glass lane, to arrive at some, beautiful tasty - finished- gingerbread house ... you can only use it for a short time because -ALL- security updates/patches on any part of it, are not maintained anywhere by LFS. There is no human way, one person, could track all that and keep LFS safe and current even if you love compiling. It's a studious exercise at best and learning will occur, but you will not drive it every day.

Again - THANK YOU, Chris Titus!
