I decided to check if #Linux gaming distros gave you an edge in terms of performance, compared to something #Ubuntu based, and of a specific gaming distro would perform better than another.
Since I had a @tuxedocomputers mini ITX desktop on hand to review, I decided to combine the two, so I checked whether gaming distros are better for gaming, with 4 game benchmarks I ran on the Atlas S:
@thelinuxEXP@tuxedocomputers "gaming" distros are just the base distros with packages that optimize gaming and the like, but it's still Linux: your hardware always says the last word, but if I can throw a random advice, the Steam launch argument also matters, I mean in many cases, a package doesn't get exploited unless you add something as argument, after the benchmark, you found that the KDE distos are similar, in that case, a 1 FPS difference matters so Nobara wins I guess
Giving #OpenSuse Leap a try. Would like to go from my rather moody #ArchLinux to a more stable system. Feels like I learned everything I could in terms of usage, now I want something that needs less maintaining and gives me more time to do other things.
Given I do not trust US companies (not necessarily because of the company, but the legislation they have to follow) #Fedora or anything #Ubuntu was an absolute no-go. And #Debian just isn't modern enough, despite being dead-stable. 😉 #Linux
I find it somewhat annoying and concerning that an essential #security tool like #fail2ban is broken on #ubuntu#linux 24.04 #noble since the end of February and there still is no update in sight.
Similar here with Fedora 39, had to manually start it with “fail2ban-client -x start”, something about an exception for a communication socket permission problem. But it’s now working again under systemd after a couple of weeks and system updates.
