Not surprised but fucking hell.

As a game dev I prefer Arch-base (I’m using EndeavourOS) and I use Godot. However if you think Arch may not be for you, then I suggest Fedora.

Wow, this looks nice!

Don’t know about its current state but this helped me a lot with moving out to a new place, years ago. The version how I remember wouldn’t be so helpful with renovations I think. Still can be used as placeholder though.

Well, they appreciate any kind of contributions. Thanks for considering this.

No problem! FOSS alternatives are really good as an office suite on their own but when it comes to Excel, things might go tricky. I hope they’re as compatible as they claim.

Not FOSS but maybe this might work for you: https://www.freeoffice.com/en/

To be fair, I don’t know any benchmark for this comparison. But I just tried a relatively big file with both of them. Opening part is not really noticeable, but fast-forwarding is much better and slicker in mpv. In VLC it looks like it’s jumping between scenes, in mpv you actually see the motion of it’s getting fast-forward.

Yes it’s quite noticeable, especially with the bigger file size. mpv is really light.

You can still use older hardware in 2025. So, yes.

That makes sense. Nouveau isn’t mature for some use cases yet, even though they made a huge jump with NVK. Hardware upgrade might be closer than you think then.

Even on X11? I tried it on Wayland months ago to see its state and it was generally fine except gaming. Though the results still might depend on the card in use I guess.

Well, you can hold onto that GPU for a little longer with X11. But it seems you’ll need an upgrade some time later. Though if you don’t game (aside from FOSS ones), Nouveau driver should do the job for your daily needs. However, it still needs time for Wayland.

There are still some quirks but it’s been generally fine for me with Nvidia, almost a year now.

Just enter 127.0.0.1

For games it’s really great unless that game you’re looking for has kernel-level anticheat. You can check ProtonDB for Steam games, Lutris for other platforms. If you prefer single-player games mostly like me, you won’t have much of a problem.

For music, there are software like Ardour and LMMS. For video editing, you can check KDEnlive.

Before switching, I suggest you to try at least a couple different distros on a virtual machine, better if you have a separate laptop to try things. PopOS is great. You can also check Linux Mint, Bazzite and openSUSE Leap.

Actually, I never witnessed change-org ever changed something.

Don’t know about Cachy but Endeavour is not even a fork. It’s just Arch with a fancy installer.
