OK, so give me a straight answer on this one - I have a GeForce GTX 1070 Ti. I heard that it performs much, much worse on Linux than on Windows. Is it true? Is there any point to switching distros until I change my graphics card?
i have 1070 Ti and i've been using Nobara distro for 3 days now which should technically be the best distro for games. it's kind of hard to tell how well it performs but so far from experience, after setting everything correctly i am able to achieve 80-105% performance. rough guess.
AMD just works better with Linux than nvidia because it’s actually open source. Performance is fine but you might run into dumb problems because Nvidia won’t support their shit or let the FOSS community fix it
Nah, it's fine. >I heard that it performs much, much worse on Linux than on Windows
There's a performance penalty at times, yes, but it's not like you'll feel as if someone swapped your 1070 ti for a 1050 ti or something.
From what I hear, G-Sync doesn't work on Linux if you have multiple monitors connected though. I didn't have a VRR monitor back when I used to use my GTX 970 on Linux, so I can't say for sure.
I'm trying to get cemu to work it's telling me to put title key in keys.txt, I did and it still doesn't work. It's telling me error in keys.txt line 4

My old mobo needs that r8169 driver that you need to install using make and guess what, Holo ISO doesn't ship with make and I can't be bothered for a ever so slightly downgraded experience, Big Picture works fine.
Either way I beat Amid Evil on my AMD laptop and yeah, 20% better in terms of battery and performance than on Windows. 0 stutters. What the frick is wrong with Windows?
Anyone here plays The King of Fighters XV? I'll have to install Linux for college but I heard that game started having issues after an update some months ago. Was it fixed? How does it run for you online? It's one of the games I play the most so I really don't wanna have to drop it.
Linux is shit for general labor usage, but a friend of mine insists on using it. We laugh at him daily at work cause there's always something that's broken. But yesterday I visited him and we installed Fightcade on his laptop, hooked up a pair of arcade sticks, smoked some weed, drank a few beers and had a blast of an evening playing SNK games. I honestly have no idea why Linuxgays would need anything more than this. You buttholes keep whining about ports, compatibility and other shit, when you can play Garou and Metal Slug online and local without issue. This shit is easier to setup and run reliably than Signal on Windows. If I'm ever done with working as a codemonkey and my PC becomes just a gaming machine, I'm gong full Linuxgay on it.
Don't play it, don't run Linux, but read above, there's KOF games that are actually good, work with great rollback, have players online that you can talk to and challenge at a cost of ZERO DOLLARS. In a year KOFXV will be a dead discord fighter, while you'll still be able to play '98 and 2002 against people without effort.
Based gaming taste but >Linux is shit for general labor usage
lmao
both of you are the moronS, talk to me when you try installing a random mobile-app test environment on Linux and actually being able to not waste time on doing compatibility troubleshooting. If Linuxgays would put the same amount of effort into shilling their system as anything else than a gaming platform, it might actually become viable for the common user.
It's shit for anything that requires big proprietary suites to make work. Shit like tax software, video editing, typesetting, etc. I use Arch btw.
It's shit for anything that requires anything cloud-based to work. Sure you can code all that shit in your browser, make it run on your machine, but once you have to view anything through a simulated mobile device, just to make sure the code works, you'd wish you were sucking Bill's wiener since 1995. Here's a list of shit that makes dev-work a pain, if you're on Linux: >google cluod shit >servicenow >salesforce >any mobile-app test environment >any mobile-app prod environment >anything that requires MS Azure integration >using Teams >using Zoom >using MFA shit on anything else than a smartfone
I could go on. Linux is a far better gaming and general-use computer platform than a dev platform. gays complaining about games compatibility and ports have it easy.
Teams
Zoom
these work fine in-brower, and the zoom flatpak runs fine too
rest is all true, but i just do run all my work bloatware in a windows VM, cant imagine running a NSA-approved OS on bare metal in 2022 lol. keep the microphone and camera in linux cause windows definitely does not need access to those
I do. Rugal update literally broke the multiplayer through Proton. Can't finish a single match without getting a disconnect. Gotta use windows to play it.
Arch. Tried it with Proton 7 and GE, neither worked. It's been a solid 2 months since I tried though, maybe there's ways to make it work now. It's sad because it's literally the only game I need to keep a windows install around for, and only because a stupid fricking update broke it. Fricking incompetent nips.
Do you have it installed right now? If you do can you give it a try again rn? Maybe it got fixed with the Orochi Team update. In any case thanks for replying, I don't think I'll install linux for now then.
No, SNK is just incompetent. The game has general matchmaking issues, one of those just involves it being completely borked on Linux. Like I said, it worked fine before an update broke it.
kof xv online is fricked even on windows and I doubt the cross play update is gonna fix that
What software do you use to monitor your system usage and hardware temperatures?
lm_sensors replaces hwmonitor pretty well but I cannot find an all in one system usage monitor I tried system-monitor-center but it's tabbed so it's fricking useless, who the frick wants to see GPU usage but not CPU usage?
I use zenmonitor for cpu temps when rendering/converting audio but use it rarely because max cpu temp I reached is 75 degrees and saw no use for it

>but for games, mangohud is good
It's good but not what I'm looking for, I'm after a global system monitor I can stick on a second monitor, last I checked mangohud was an overlay and measured the individual games resource usage not the systems

Does anyone know anything about AI image upscaling? I'm talking about actual programs not online services like waifu2x. I need something equivalent to Gigapixel.
my main problem is that its 2 times only, results aren't really good with non anime and not nearly enough options.
waifu-2x-ncnn-vulkan works well and I think scales up to 8x or 6x.
I also think Real-ESRGAN works well for non anime images. It also has a 'ncnn-vulkan' package.

alright has anyone measured the subtle differences that could occur and impact performance, like input lag, comparabiliity of mouse sensitivity to windows, refresh rate, difference in photon versions, any other os related lag
>subtle differences
No one has tested this iirc but you get wild variations of game performances where some games are insanely good and some are borked
It's only recently that linux became gud for games so there is a marketing void among users to compare benchmarks between windows vs linux
What is known is that there is an annoying cpu overhead on windows compared to linux
of course not
but the fact that the Steam Deck is introducing people to linux gayman, and with chink handheld manufacturers expressing interest in steamOS, the market will surely grow in the next few years and hopefully developers will make an effort to make their games compatible with linux
Okay so I want a gooD linux os to set up on my second hard drive.
should I just use steamOS since I'm pretty much only going to be playing vidya on it?
dont use steamos
its not meant for your desktop at all
just use arch (archinstall or endeavor if you can't into installing it from instructions) if you want a similar experience
choose KDE Plasma, install MangoHud, GPU drivers (if necessary), gamemode, Steam, zen kernel (with dkms drivers if applicable) if you're feeling spicy
you did it, you made steamos
not sure about artix but if they use arch repos like endeavour does, you're fricked. GLIBC 2.36 is the problematic release, any distro that updated to it is having issues
because gaming is an afterthought and all the other software they tested seemed stable with the update so they pushed it out

you'll obviously need flatpak itself, and to add the flathub repo (its the official flatpak repo so about as safe as you're going to get)
flatseal is a GUI manager for editing flatpak permissions if you want to remove Steam's access to your pictures XDG directory or add access to a games directory (which is has access to by default) and dont want to do it in the command line. def not critical though, but it'll install everything in ~/.var otherwise

no but its the easiest since it just combined stable versions of all the needed libraries and utilities, and you don't have to worry about incompetent game devs' games breaking cause the distro's glibc got updated even though its supposed to be backwards compatible.

oh, depends on how the distro's wine is set up, system updates usually update mimetypes, so you'd have to make the one for text immutable or figure out what part of the wine package is overwriting it, somewhere in /usr/share/mime maybe

What makes Arch so obtuse anyway? If you just suggest archinstall every time someone asks it can't be THAT bad, right?
So what I'm getting from this is the ideal gaming setup would be to wait for SteamOS to mature as a desktop distro, as it wouldn't be as bleeding edge as other distros?
>What makes Arch so obtuse anyway?
Very limited default install. It expects you to look up every single thing. By default, you will be missing desktop, foreign fonts, firewall, selinux/apparmor, ram compression and tons of other things. It's all basic stuff but it doesn't come with it because of the obsession with "the arch way". This results in users wondering why something doesn't work on their system, the answer is often that it's not installed or configured which other distros do out of the box.
Arch is easy to install
it's defaults are not sane and unless you know what you're doing that setup is where you'll waste all your time or break something
Yeah don't use SteamOS, it's basically just the DeckOS now. However installing Arch is a meme... only install it if you want to tinker with your OS. If you want it to just work use Fedora.
I like Linux because it feels nice, runs the programs I use the most, and is fun to customize.
The games I like are either old or are lightweight, so a lot of them run with little fiddling. There are some games that are difficult, and the Unity Tax makes some games not run well, but my experience has been positive overall.
for me, in this particular situation I found myself in: yes
simply because downgrading nvidia drivers was something I had to do for a particular game
otherwise the experience is largely the same
Linux has already been compromised. People found out that the NSA was already inside the Linux kernel spying on everyone years ago, imagine how deep they are with technology these days.
Why is it so hard to make videogames work on Linux? Is it because most games are closed source? I'm a PC noob so forgive my ignorance but in this day and age you'd think it should be as easy a pressing a button, but there are all sorts of issues to solve even after you manage to install it.
because
- most arent made for linux at all
- most are proprietary so its hard for the linux community to tell what the frick they're doing
- linux distros are not homogenous which can introduce problems, though this is overblown by whiny devs
- most linux distros give zero fricks about video games and will not hold back updates or whatever to keep vidya functional
but honestly, as long as there isn't truly draconian DRM or anticheats, most windows games do run pretty solid just clicking a button, as long as you're willing to use steam. wine and lutris usually involve more tinkering but some games work better in them than proton
It's not a software issue, but a popularity one.
Linux has a very, very small market share compared to Windows, so most developers end up focusing their energy on making things for Windows and sometimes Mac.
There are some devs that have a hate boner for Linux, but it's usually just that Linux users are such an extreme minority.
it usually is as simple as clicking a "compile for linux" button for a native build, but most don't bother because it's more QA work for a small market share
for non-native builds the problem is usually because of proprietary libraries and in some cases, kernel level malware like anticheats that simply can't be replicated in linux
1) You don't know how everything works on Windows
2) The only "problem" with Linux is defaulting to using autistic graphics drivers which can be changed in seconds
Best thing you can do is just install Linux then. Make the leap and JUST DO IT honestly. If you think you have to type lines of complex code to do anything, Microsoft's marketing department has done their job.
buy some PoS thinkpad or download virtualbox and set up a VM to try it
dont use ubuntu, its hot garbage and a noob trap, it used to be ok for beginners but now its just flying in the face of conventions that basically all other distros follow so its a b***h to learn anything and its skills dont transfer well. use fedora if you want justwerks (well, after you learn about rpm-fusion and replace some free libraries with licensed ones) or one of the noob arch forks like endeavour or manjaro, manjaro's getting pretty fugly bloated though
i can pretty much guarantee you you'll end up reinstalling your linux install a couple times after you frick things up a couple times, they probably wont be critical frickups, but they wont be worth the effort and time to try to fix as a noob unless you're really dedicated, so your first distro or two wont really matter
I'm the same, I just started watching YT videos, tutorials and looked at the file structure (really helped to understand what which folders are for) and then read articles and program manuals (there's usually a command line manual for each program) and after that I just search up stuff I encounter which I dont know.
I thought it was pretty easy to grasp all things considered, if you're not against reading and have patience you will get it quickly.

I've been using Ubuntu since 2018. Ignore the memes posted here and form an opinion on it yourself. I haven't seen a reason to use any other distro.
You're all good. A lot of people started with Ubuntu. Use what's useful.
I hate the idea that Ubuntu is a "starter" distro because it implies you should move onto something else.
Ubuntu is a well polished distro with sane defaults.
It's a blessing and a curse to be sure, but it still remains that Ubuntu and its derivatives make for a nice cushion to land on when someone jumps in to the Linux world. Though at this, point, I think plain Debian is user friendly enough to act as a starting point.
I first used Ubuntu in 2006 and it was pretty good, but it definitely went to shit when it introduced Unity (Unity itself isn't that bad) + Amazon Search. After that I went to Mint and it was OK. Kubuntu/Xubuntu are still pretty OK if you don't care about having updates in a timely manner. It's a beginner OS, imo, because it's hard to frick it up. But getting bleeding edge stuff is a pain. So I recommend after you get some time with Ubuntu (or Fedora) to dip your feet into Arch or an Arch-based distro.
>But getting bleeding edge stuff is a pain

NextCloud snap is very easy to deploy and manage for example.

but yeah its tough to expect every single proprietary windows exclusive game to be out-of-the-box functional on linux, an OS the devs probably gave 0 fricks about
in reality (outside Ganker and a few particularly grumpy forums) >hey guys latest update to (distro) broke (game)
and a bunch of people jump in to help as long as the OP at least gave the bare minimum to help like sys config and a useful description of the error. at worst the post is ignored
There literally isn't a single game on Protondb that's worth playing and has a rating below gold. Literally all the stuff you need to play is basically playable out the box

There's a performance penalty at times, yes, but it's not like you'll feel as if someone swapped your 1070 ti for a 1050 ti or something.

No text usually means you're missing some font package that comes default on windows.

Here's a list of shit that makes dev-work a pain, if you're on Linux:
>google cluod shit
>servicenow
>salesforce
>any mobile-app test environment
>any mobile-app prod environment
>anything that requires MS Azure integration
>using Teams
>using Zoom
>using MFA shit on anything else than a smartfone
I could go on. Linux is a far better gaming and general-use computer platform than a dev platform. gays complaining about games compatibility and ports have it easy.
>Linux sucks for development
>Platform androgynous software is worse on linux... BECAUSE
The shit that qualifies for bait these days
Sorry but I don't give a shit about any of that crap. Frick off to Ganker
>pain on Linux:
>google cloud shit
are you genuinely moronic
Teams
Zoom
these work fine in-brower, and the zoom flatpak runs fine too
rest is all true, but i just do run all my work bloatware in a windows VM, cant imagine running a NSA-approved OS on bare metal in 2022 lol. keep the microphone and camera in linux cause windows definitely does not need access to those
>bringing up cloud computing
ok thanks for making it clear that your baiting what distro do you actually use?
Based gaming taste but
>Linux is shit for general labor usage
lmao
It's shit for anything that requires big proprietary suites to make work. Shit like tax software, video editing, typesetting, etc. I use Arch btw.
>typesetting
what?
I do. Rugal update literally broke the multiplayer through Proton. Can't finish a single match without getting a disconnect. Gotta use windows to play it.
Frick, have you tried using proton ge custom? Also which version of proton and distro are you using?
Arch. Tried it with Proton 7 and GE, neither worked. It's been a solid 2 months since I tried though, maybe there's ways to make it work now. It's sad because it's literally the only game I need to keep a windows install around for, and only because a stupid fricking update broke it. Fricking incompetent nips.
Do you have it installed right now? If you do can you give it a try again rn? Maybe it got fixed with the Orochi Team update. In any case thanks for replying, I don't think I'll install linux for now then.
Nope, don't have it installed right now.
No, SNK is just incompetent. The game has general matchmaking issues, one of those just involves it being completely borked on Linux. Like I said, it worked fine before an update broke it.
>Arch
Is it an EAC game?
kof xv online is fricked even on windows and I doubt the cross play update is gonna fix that
I use zenmonitor for cpu temps when rendering/converting audio but use it rarely because max cpu temp I reached is 75 degrees and saw no use for it
but for games, mangohud is good
>but for games, mangohud is good
It's good but not what I'm looking for, I'm after a global system monitor I can stick on a second monitor, last I checked mangohud was an overlay and measured the individual games resource usage not the systems
if you use kde there are widgets for that, can even customize them to your liking
more proof that these threads are just for coping homosexuals whining about how nothing fricking works but seethe embarrassingly when someone points it out
Not whining or seething. Someone asked and I answered. Please remove your fricktarded ass from this thread and preferably life too.
Yes it's fricked on Windows too, but at least playing a match doesn't result in a guaranteed disconnect.
no your cope will not save you
Thanks for the bump, sir.
the final stage of cope has been reached
okay game with 0 replay value honestly the devs are giant homosexuals that should focus a little bit more on gameplay and mechanics rather than aesthetic and making "meaningful games" as they like to call it
like i appreciate their desire to make art of games but it still needs to be a good GAME and it feels such a waste to not really be able to experience frostpunk more than once
>okay game with 0 replay value honestly the devs are giant homosexuals
I've only finished it once so far, that sucks. Though it looks like it has tons of DLC for new scenarios. Do you have any recs for something similar that has better replay value, preferably with similar effort put into the presentation?
honestly nothing comes to mind
citybuilders are usually way more sandboxy and other strategy colony games are too focused on the mechanics rather than symbolism
i have thought often about frostpunk mods for other games, like rimworld in extreme cold biomes, or even a factorio mod where you have to constantly feed a reactor with fuel to keep your factory heated and such. but those will stay ideas because i'm an idea guy and not an engineer guy
oh but btw the dlc is pretty fun, i remember the "last autumn" or whatever it's called to actually be pretty challenging too, definitely my favorite
it's just like, they have so much potential and only did a fraction of it

my keys.txt has a different key

ah true, i forgot encrypted game dumps require a specific key, but it should work as long as the key matches the game
maybe that key is for a different region/version of the game?

>It's only 2x
You can run the local one to resize to any size you want
waifu-2x-ncnn-vulkan works well and I think scales up to 8x or 6x.
I also think Real-ESRGAN works well for non anime images. It also has a 'ncnn-vulkan' package.

>subtle differences
No one has tested this iirc but you get wild variations of game performances where some games are insanely good and some are borked
It's only recently that linux became gud for games so there is a marketing void among users to compare benchmarks between windows vs linux
What is known is that there is an annoying cpu overhead on windows compared to linux

Will 2023 be the year of the Linux gaming desktop?

Okay so I want a gooD linux os to set up on my second hard drive.
should I just use steamOS since I'm pretty much only going to be playing vidya on it?
dont use steamos
its not meant for your desktop at all
just use arch (archinstall or endeavor if you can't into installing it from instructions) if you want a similar experience
choose KDE Plasma, install MangoHud, GPU drivers (if necessary), gamemode, Steam, zen kernel (with dkms drivers if applicable) if you're feeling spicy
you did it, you made steamos
Shur up b***h
but he's right
to be fair Arch's glibc update has completely fricked up a number of games where as SteamOS wouldn't push that update since it's so critical to games
What about Artix?
not sure about artix but if they use arch repos like endeavour does, you're fricked. GLIBC 2.36 is the problematic release, any distro that updated to it is having issues
Why did they do that?
because gaming is an afterthought and all the other software they tested seemed stable with the update so they pushed it out
Literally 99% of people use PC for gaming, they're moronic
You're moronic
gaming is literally irrelevant for 99% of the linux developers
do what
update to the stable release of perhaps the most important library?
just use the flatpak steam, solves all kinds of problems and you dont have to install wine system wide and wont have wine cancer changing your mime-types all the time, trying to open .txt files in notepad or whatever
How do I install the flatpak steam?
flatpak install flathub com.valvesoftware.Steam
you'll obviously need flatpak itself, and to add the flathub repo (its the official flatpak repo so about as safe as you're going to get)
flatseal is a GUI manager for editing flatpak permissions if you want to remove Steam's access to your pictures XDG directory or add access to a games directory (which is has access to by default) and dont want to do it in the command line. def not critical though, but it'll install everything in ~/.var otherwise
Is flatpak really the only way to stop that?
no but its the easiest since it just combined stable versions of all the needed libraries and utilities, and you don't have to worry about incompetent game devs' games breaking cause the distro's glibc got updated even though its supposed to be backwards compatible.
its definitely bloat though, but if you're gaymin in linux you probably don't care, just don't tell Ganker
Err, Notepad crawling out of Wine environment I mean. Pisses me off.
oh, depends on how the distro's wine is set up, system updates usually update mimetypes, so you'd have to make the one for text immutable or figure out what part of the wine package is overwriting it, somewhere in /usr/share/mime maybe
i just stopped caring, the only thing i used wine for was games, and having wine installed system-wide is such a big security vulnerability i just wanted it gone anyways. all my other windows stuff i do for work isnt graphically intensive so i just do it in a VM
any performance impact from running the flatpak version? any restrictions on things like custom proton versions, mods, etc? and most importantly do I have to redownload my libraries again?
>any performance impact from running the flatpak version?
no
>any restrictions on things like custom proton versions, mods, etc?
no, its an official release from valve, they'd prob prefer you use it cause it means less random error reports for them
>and most importantly do I have to redownload my libraries again?
if by libraries you mean games/mods, no, the directory structure is the same, just copy them into steamapps/common/ steamapps/compatdata/ or steamapps/workshop/

What makes Arch so obtuse anyway? If you just suggest archinstall every time someone asks it can't be THAT bad, right?
So what I'm getting from this is the ideal gaming setup would be to wait for SteamOS to mature as a desktop distro, as it wouldn't be as bleeding edge as other distros?
even without archinstall it's pretty straightforward as long as you are able to read
My guess? Arch doesn't hide that it is a computer program.
>What makes Arch so obtuse anyway?
Very limited default install. It expects you to look up every single thing. By default, you will be missing desktop, foreign fonts, firewall, selinux/apparmor, ram compression and tons of other things. It's all basic stuff but it doesn't come with it because of the obsession with "the arch way". This results in users wondering why something doesn't work on their system, the answer is often that it's not installed or configured which other distros do out of the box.
Arch is easy to install
it's defaults are not sane and unless you know what you're doing that setup is where you'll waste all your time or break something
Yeah don't use SteamOS, it's basically just the DeckOS now. However installing Arch is a meme... only install it if you want to tinker with your OS. If you want it to just work use Fedora.
I like Linux because it feels nice, runs the programs I use the most, and is fun to customize.
The games I like are either old or are lightweight, so a lot of them run with little fiddling. There are some games that are difficult, and the Unity Tax makes some games not run well, but my experience has been positive overall.
If I ever switch I wanna try openSUSE
have you thanked papa golus today?

All distros are basically the same as long as they have access to the latest kernel and mesa releases.
for me, in this particular situation I found myself in: yes
simply because downgrading nvidia drivers was something I had to do for a particular game
otherwise the experience is largely the same
>windows users when they haven't spammed linux threads in 5 minutes

Why is it so hard to make videogames work on Linux? Is it because most games are closed source? I'm a PC noob so forgive my ignorance but in this day and age you'd think it should be as easy a pressing a button, but there are all sorts of issues to solve even after you manage to install it.
>it should be as easy a pressing a button,
it often is
its really hard
because
- most arent made for linux at all
- most are proprietary so its hard for the linux community to tell what the frick they're doing
- linux distros are not homogenous which can introduce problems, though this is overblown by whiny devs
- most linux distros give zero fricks about video games and will not hold back updates or whatever to keep vidya functional
but honestly, as long as there isn't truly draconian DRM or anticheats, most windows games do run pretty solid just clicking a button, as long as you're willing to use steam. wine and lutris usually involve more tinkering but some games work better in them than proton
It's not a software issue, but a popularity one.
Linux has a very, very small market share compared to Windows, so most developers end up focusing their energy on making things for Windows and sometimes Mac.
There are some devs that have a hate boner for Linux, but it's usually just that Linux users are such an extreme minority.
it usually is as simple as clicking a "compile for linux" button for a native build, but most don't bother because it's more QA work for a small market share
for non-native builds the problem is usually because of proprietary libraries and in some cases, kernel level malware like anticheats that simply can't be replicated in linux

I'm too autistic to install Linux because I want to know how everything works instead of just being a ricing Black person with an anime wallpaper.

Slay the Spire should have a native Linux version.
Microshit obfuscates the OS too much to make me want to learn about it.
I want to learn Linux but it's overwhelming.
Best thing you can do is just install Linux then. Make the leap and JUST DO IT honestly. If you think you have to type lines of complex code to do anything, Microsoft's marketing department has done their job.
I thought it was best to live in the environment for a while so I could learn the system.
Of course, there's also the nuclear option or pic related...
just learn as you go
buy some PoS thinkpad or download virtualbox and set up a VM to try it
dont use ubuntu, its hot garbage and a noob trap, it used to be ok for beginners but now its just flying in the face of conventions that basically all other distros follow so its a b***h to learn anything and its skills dont transfer well. use fedora if you want justwerks (well, after you learn about rpm-fusion and replace some free libraries with licensed ones) or one of the noob arch forks like endeavour or manjaro, manjaro's getting pretty fugly bloated though
i can pretty much guarantee you you'll end up reinstalling your linux install a couple times after you frick things up a couple times, they probably wont be critical frickups, but they wont be worth the effort and time to try to fix as a noob unless you're really dedicated, so your first distro or two wont really matter
>because I want to know how everything works
How do you handle using windows where you're not allowed to know how anything works?
I'm the same, I just started watching YT videos, tutorials and looked at the file structure (really helped to understand what which folders are for) and then read articles and program manuals (there's usually a command line manual for each program) and after that I just search up stuff I encounter which I dont know.
I thought it was pretty easy to grasp all things considered, if you're not against reading and have patience you will get it quickly.

I'm installing Ubuntu.
>hurrr it's trash
Probably is, but it's what my teacher recommended for learning Docker.
You're all good. A lot of people started with Ubuntu. Use what's useful.
I've been using Ubuntu since 2018. Ignore the memes posted here and form an opinion on it yourself. I haven't seen a reason to use any other distro.
I hate the idea that Ubuntu is a "starter" distro because it implies you should move onto something else.
Ubuntu is a well polished distro with sane defaults.
It's a blessing and a curse to be sure, but it still remains that Ubuntu and its derivatives make for a nice cushion to land on when someone jumps in to the Linux world. Though at this, point, I think plain Debian is user friendly enough to act as a starting point.
I first used Ubuntu in 2006 and it was pretty good, but it definitely went to shit when it introduced Unity (Unity itself isn't that bad) + Amazon Search. After that I went to Mint and it was OK. Kubuntu/Xubuntu are still pretty OK if you don't care about having updates in a timely manner. It's a beginner OS, imo, because it's hard to frick it up. But getting bleeding edge stuff is a pain. So I recommend after you get some time with Ubuntu (or Fedora) to dip your feet into Arch or an Arch-based distro.
Also the obsession with snaps is cancer
>But getting bleeding edge stuff is a pain
I'm running Ubuntu 22.04 with the latest kernel and mesa releases. It's extremely simple.

The only thing arch really offers is having these by default, but not everyone needs that and it often causes more problems then it solves, see glibc breaking EAC.
I don't actually mind snaps either, but I understand that people don't like the closed spruce nature of it.
NextCloud snap is very easy to deploy and manage for example.
