Please don't hurt me but what's an "immutable" distro?

PirateSoftware I believe it's who you're talking about. But yeah he didn't make it free, just priced well for that country

I would love to sign this but I'm in the UK. I'll spread the word instead!

Thanks, but I am currently using Radarr and Sonarr, just looking at alternate potentially faster sources

Good to know, thank you!

That's what I've done. The arr suite is pretty damn convenient. Last time I did this I had to manually go fetch everything myself.

Keeping my eyes peeled for deals and things but may have to bite the bullet and just pay for one to at least try it out

Gotcha, thank you!

Thank you! I'll give that stuff a look!

I'm from the UK, I don't vote simply because I don't trust the shit politicians come out with during election periods and because of this I worry I will vote the wrong way. Time and time again promises are made and you never really seem to see the difference.

For example, and please correct me if I'm wrong, but it's been promised since Brexit more money will go into the NHS to release the pressure on the service. Yet the NHS seems to be in the worst condition currently it's ever been in.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't get it

I have mine set up outside of docker

Thank you for the detailed explanation!

I really wanted to like Mint cinnamon but it didn't like my dual screen+built in screen on my pc case.

It would try and smush the display for the pc case screen into the monitor displays pushing everything over and making mouse clicks widely inaccurate (the click was half a screens away from the actual cursor).

Only ever had that issue on Mint

I'm also currently running Linux Mint but want to start gaming on Linux as well. Given what you've said it would seem that I need to consider distro hopping.

I have a "working" knowledge of Arch, I say working loosely as I have a home server running Manjaro and kinda maybe know what I'm doing with it and I'm comfortable following guides etc.

Which of the 2 distros you mentioned would you recommend? CachyOS looks great on the surface but Bazzite definitely seems to cater to gaming and it's website heavily leans that way

Thanks for the detailed response! I think CachyOS is the way to go for me. I like to be more hands on and have more flexibility

Good question, didn't really consider that if I'm honest. Could use the torrents as backup/secondary

You'll have to enlighten me, I'm a little out of touch after going straight for a while haha

Ah, like another club that we can't talk about

I may be misunderstanding here and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but I was of the understanding that Mint wasn't a good gaming platform because of the fact it's not bleeding edge

Perfect, thanks!

Funnily enough, I did actually set up LunaSea last night. Haven't played around with it much so far but it looks pretty good

I'll definitely take that into account.

As an example though, I use the AUR for the arr packages. If not from the AUR, where else would I get them? Would I need to clone the git and build them myself instead?

Sorry for my ignorance, Linux noob here, but what do you both mean by Manjaro isn't Arch?

Thank you for the very detailed explanation! Makes sense now. I was of the mindset that Manjaro is an Arch derivative making it technically Arch and didn't really take the repos etc into account. Makes sense why they advise against the use of AUR

You've opened my eyes haha.

I appreciate the response, I always worry asking "noob" questions from all the elitist horror stories you hear around Linux

I see, that makes sense. Thank you!
