I’m considering Hamburg, it’s where my friend lives and I’ve heard it’s a nice city

I think this is the first time I’ve seen a mastodon account on lemmy

I was planning on Germany, and I’ve recently met a German friend online which has solidified my choice

Germany is what I’m planning on but you need to have 11,208 euros (if I remember the number correctly) to prove you can support yourself for a visa to study there

I plan on moving there as soon as possible when I graduate high school. Real tired of America

The option to install, or an ISO that comes pre-installed with the drivers?

I misread your comment, I’m super tired. But afaik pop has been the only distro to have an ISO with Nvidia drivers built in for years now, I think

Just use nobara. Arch isn’t really for casual users who haven’t used Linux. Download steam and enable steam play for all titles in your settings. Proton ge isn’t necessarily always needed, but if you want it just download protonup-qt to easily install it. Use lutris for non-steam games, and optionally heroic games launcher instead of lutris for epic games. You make Linux sound complicated by separating every little step, as if multiple of those aren’t windows things too…

After a fresh nobara installation, and installing most recent drivers, I was able to download and play my steam games in an hour, hour and a half maybe. On windows I have to run a debloat script to optimize performance, make sure drivers are up to date, download the steam installer, click through the installer, download my game, then look up why random windows background services are randomly taking up CPU space. On Linux I just open discover, download steam, enable steam play for all titles, then download and play my games without any preinstalled apps and unnecessarily resource hogging background services.

You don’t even know what a kernel is, and I doubt you’ve seen any modern desktop environments. There’s nothing wrong with linux, there’s not development that needs to be done to fix it, the vast majority of issues I experienced were just a few windows apps or games not having good linux support. This isn’t a fault of linux, it’s the fault of the developers behind those apps and games. Also when I want to install something on Linux, I simply open discover and search for it then install. Anything not easily found in discover is most likely for more tech savvy power users anyways

I’m curious what the number is excluding top games with DRM or anti cheat incompatibility

Well you chose an arch based distro, users who don’t want to use the terminal can choose something like mint or pop os

Like what?

Valve is working on HDR support for the steam deck’s steamOS, which I assume will lead to other distroS following

For single player, the majority of games should work just fine. Most gaming issues nowadays are either because of invase DRM or anticheat, but more and more games are getting support. A large part of it is thanks to the steam deck.

There’s also pop!_OS which can come preinstalled with Nvidia drivers

They need to add account and community migration as soon as possible

i would love to pay for it but i pirate because i dont have money to pay for stuff

the issue is you’re still using uTorrent, switch to qBitTorrent

i know this isnt super helpful but i used a tool on my steam deck that could both download and decrypt wii u games through a gui, i dont remember the name though. it took a while for me to find while i was looking for alternatives while trying to get other tools to work
