Typically, no. AMD (and Intel) are generally plug and play with the same OS install. Drivers are open source and provided via Kernel and Mesa packages.

I do not use EndeavorOS so I cannot confirm if any additional packages are needed for Vulkan support. However, that wouldn't change if you're just upgrading from one AMD GPU to another.

This is the one thing I miss from using Gnome. I might look into a way to recreate on KDE but I'm already used to using KDE as-is now.

Glad to see the use of "temporary" code started early.

I really started to dislike Windows and projects like Bazzite made it incredibly easy to make the jump. The wife is now gaming in Linux for the same reasons.

Great suggestions. The Ventoy bros are weird. Just use what works for you.

Dunno. I've come to rely on the "cast" functionality from my Android, but finding a FOSS client with even similar functionality is proving difficult.

Chromecast will continue to work, until it doesn't. I'll use that time to test some options and see where I land.

I was already considering Jellyfin as a possible replacement, and this pretty much ensures it.

Checking this out now! So far I like it. Only think I lose from using Gboard is the access to gifs, but I can work around that.

More people should phase out of Netflix.

Ouch, didn't realize the Nvidia build was struggling. Hopefully it gets patched up soon.

If there's a previous commit before the issue is introduced you can pin it and wait to unpin until the issue gets resolved.

Fedora (including Silverblue/Kionite) is hard to recommend as a first distro though. It's an excellent platform when you know your end goal and how to get there, while providing "leading-edge" packages that's great for gaming.

But a project like Bazzite? Phenomenal new user experience for gaming and a very easy recommend.

This is just a heads up for anyone running Bazzite Desktop and using gamemoderun %command% to launch games. Took a bit to figure out why my games were no longer launching. 😅

It's inclusion was an oversight that affected only desktop images. Feral gamemode is completely replaced by the existence of System76 scheduler and joystickawake, both of which require no manual setup on the part of the end user.

You can simply remove that from your launch options.
