I just purchased the same one.

After I left Bazzite i switched to Garuda, which is also gaming and performance focused. I also chose the xfce option, which has been great.

If your are considering switching, give Garuda a look. I'm also on a gigabyte board with an Nvidia card.

And don't worry, the AI absolutely won't decide to give itself access to the files all on its own after you tell it no.

Honestly, just sit and hold his hand. You don't need to say anything.

Neither of you have ever even had to live on your own yet. You haven't even started learning who you are as adults.

If this does work out in the long run, it will be dumb luck. You have the same chance with any random stranger.

And since no one else has said it, I will. You were 16 dating a 14 year old, that's not ok. At that age all she can do is cosplay a relationship, that's a child.

One day she is going to wake up and realize she got into all this before she even understood what it was, god help you both when that happens.

You mean the sin of pride made manifest?

Is there a Montessori school nearby? They do a great job with kids that don't quite fit the normal school assembly line.

Garuda is Arch. You just need to get the right download for your graphics card and choose your desktop environment. It's basically painless at this point.

It already includes all the gamer stuff and comes preconfigured for performance.

Garuda is Arch, and is also focused on being super easy, gaming focused, and performance tuned. It's not immutable though.

True, it has never been tried before.

Foundry has so many game systems, even systems like custom system builder, which let you make your own.

If all you want is spreadsheets, why not use shared Google docs or something?

Garuda is an Arch distro and has a simple GUI installer.

Yeah, you can still raw dog Arch, but you don't have to.

I use Arch. I'm a beginner. It has been super easy.

You just need the right distro. Arch can be easy too.

Wasn't there something about the saudies being complicit in 911 or something?

After breaking my hard drive with Bazzite not understanding immutability and trying to bypass it with permissions changes,I switched to Garuda as a beginner. It's Arch based.

It has been easy, gaming just works, updates just work, it came with the drivers I need.

All this Arch hate needs to go away. It's not what it was. I haven't had to learn anything more complicated than Windows was.

As you are researching, take a look at Garuda. It is beginner friendly, gaming and performance focused, has good helper apps, and is Arch based so it is getting frequent updates.

I've been using it as a beginner for over a year and it has been capable, stable, and easy.

If you are used to steam os, also check out Bazzite, it is designed to be a similar experience.

I've been playing DND since first edition. When my group got to 4e we jumped on eagerly, then dropped it like a hot potato.

Why?

It wasn't a bad system, but up till then DND felt like an evolution and 4e felt.. different. There were a bunch of undocumented patterns that had been in the rule set for a very long time, strategies, concepts, that just.. broke under the new ruleset.

It felt alien. If we had wanted a different system we would have gone looking and found one already. It's like ordering chocolate ice cream and being given lemon all the while insisting it is still chocolate.

So we jumped to Pathfinder, played around with 5e (which reclaimed a lot of that lineage), and finally really got into Pathfinder 2, which had largely felt true to that lineage all along.

I'd love to say 4e could have flourished if they had billed it as a sister system instead of a replacement, but in all honesty it probably would have had a lot slower growth than hasbro wanted. There were already other competitors and what hasbro really wanted was to refresh the market with the need to replace your set to have (buy) the current version.

Some families teach their kids that your ability to pick a gift directly equates to your value as a person.

Clearly her failure in this instance is more important to her than to you.

Whatever you do, try to help her feel valued.

I use Garuda, it's Arch and is just as easy as Bazzite.

I use Garuda. Yes, it's Arch based, but it's also all set up for gaming and newbie friendly. I started on Bazzite, then switched to Garuda, it's just as easy.
