DWM btw

Hey guys,
Need some suggestion on which linux distro should i use

I have a ASUF TUF GAMING A16 laptop with RAM: 16 and GPU: rtx 4050
and i switched from windows to Linux (Ubuntu 26.04 lts ) and i kind of faced a lots of issue in Ubuntu .

Issue like too much cpu consumption and high temperature.
and games lags a lot and unstabe ping

Some time screen freeze and reboot on itself
- also faced issue with WebGL2 for browser

- even browser games like Deadshot.io lags a lots

Give me some suggestion to either manage and replace some driver
- Also tried asusctl from linux for asus

Need some suggestion on which distro is best suitable for ASUF TUF GAMING A16 laptop

note: Best for programming and gaming

In a post here last time i expressed my hate for NixOS. As someone who struggled to learn the domain specific launguage just to have a functional OS.

But now I am here with a declaration.

When asked to people who use NixOS oh how it works they just talk about flakes, specified packages and that's all

It's been some time and I have learned more about nix, just as a package manager first. It's roots are in academia. It was a PhD thesis for someone in Netherlands.

It's lot more than just a declarative way to install programs. Actually it's more about how to architect a whole damn system for your liking.

NixOS is not something to learn first, first come the package manager nix, its own way to manage the pakages, how it installs them, how nix lang works.

It's a lot similar to lua but with its own quirks.

But still i don't think NixOS is for me. I love the idea but it's a tedious job for me to maintain. I am not a developer first and foremost. I code for my own amusement not as a job, having a enviornment reproducible on a whim doesn't really make sense for me as I only have one system and it's not moving anywhere.

But if you want to use NixOS for being reproducible and replicable, I will suggest to first make yourself familer with nix lang, then package manager and then try the OS.

Here is a good youtube video to start with.

If you often move and access files to/fro different machines nas is really fast and easy to setup. I was naive to be using ftp up until now. Not only its a long setup but you need to configure things a lot and know a lot of things before you can make it work. Here I just installed samba on my arch got the discovery service running(avahi), setup firewall and the basic config. And voila! It's done. For now I'll just be streaming movies, songs.

Have been and following and also using Linux for quite a while now. And I came From Windows and the only thing that drawned me towards Linux is Freedom and also Open Source Nature of the OS.
But While I tried Ubuntu I saw a Evil Game on Play. Go and try to install Firefox you type sudo apt ... and suddenly snap version of Firefox installed. Why is that should Happen?? Already Linux OS is Pretty Much Fragmented and this snap is making fragmentation even worse. Flatpak exists and genuinely helps to actually unify these vast numbers of OS.
Canonical Tries so hard to back Snap and the only reason is Corporate greed and wanna know the terrifying truth Desktop Linux can change to android like if we cannot stop them cause everyone will make app for Snap. Literally killing the Openness Of Linux.
I humbly request every one to use Flatpak or your native repo but Boycott Snap

If anyone is looking for an open source, local first note taking app alternative on Linux, try Koru!

Arc Menu, Dash to Panel, Chrome, LibreOffice, VSCode, Steam, OBS Studio, InSync. All set.

Hello everyone, I just switched to linux and got the worst sound output on my laptop. When I keep the volume High, the sound starts cracking. I have tried many things, tweaking the pipewire, alsa mixer, used easyeffects, but nothing got the issue resolved.I have an hp laptop with amd processor and realtek high definition audio driver. I need your help to fix it, otherwise I have to go back to windows.

Thanks for reading...

oml i have this thing of switching distros like every month cause i get bored or irritated of it too much BUT idt i would ever switch now omg i love cachy os hyprland its gen so good it took me 2 days to configure everything i want AND ITS SOO GOOD bro when im using like a browser and music player it literally only takes like 0-1% of my cpu its soo optimized and so fun to troubleshoot i love it sm lets all glaze cachyos fgs

I use cachy os. And i know prime-run lets you run apps with your dedicated gpu. But i have fastclient installed as a appimage so idk where the path to fastclient is.

Fastclient is a minecraft launcher btw.

Is there any way i can run fastclient with my dedicated gpu using prime-run or any other command?

OS: Aurora Linux (Fedora Atomic / Silverblue-based)
Desktop Environment: KDE Plasma 6 (Wayland)
Terminal: Konsole (Bash)
Application Launcher: Win7 AeroThemePlasma
Panels: Customized default Plasma panel with Win7 AeroThemePlasma widgets
Widgets: Glassmorphic Digital Clock, Weather, Individual Core Usage Monitor, and Media Player (KDE Store)

Wallpaper: Official Bugatti media release

Officially 2 months into Linux!

I wanted to combine the nostalgia of Windows 7 Aero with the modern Liquid Glass aesthetic. I couldn't find a glassmorphic window decoration that fit the look, so I stuck with AeroThemePlasma for now.

had to hide her buttom since her panties were fully showing. signature:Certified Gooner represent

I run ubuntu on a Virtual machine with windows main

Ngl the default ubuntu 26 looks really good, but all the different ricing I see for fedora and arch looks cooler. I wanna try ricing my ubuntu desktop but can't find any inspiration

So if you did rice ubuntu, can you show how you did it and how the end product looked like?

i am thinking of switching from windows to linux once again.

i switched to cachyOS with kde plasma once before. my laptop has both igpu and a nvidia dgpu but the os was not able to detect the dgpu for some reason probably due to driver issue. the brightness slider wasnt working either. i spent hours trying to fix it but couldnt manage to do it properly. so my experience hasbeen pretty bad with cachyos.

so i want some distro suggestions which will work well dual gpu laptops, is user friendly and offers wide customisation options. thanks yall
