Bazzite has been the easiest distro I’ve used to set up for gaming. I recommend KDE with it, coming from Windows.

Thanks! What do you mean by Firmware installer?

Thanks ! My discrete GPU might make things harder though…

Yeah that makes sense. Thanks about mbpfan!

Thanks !

Thanks! The link content is very clear. Is it possible to re enable the NVIDIA GPU by using the same command?

Thanks, that’s interesting! I might have to go back to MacOS…

Yes me too ha ha! Good to know about Fedora. As far as I remember though, the RAM is soldered isn’t it? So no way to upgrade…

Thanks! Ive never looked into Opencore legacy patcher. Have you used it before?

Thanks! I did try to install the proprietary NVIDIA driver but couldn’t get it to work somehow. I had assumed I could at least get a good experience without it but it’s still been sluggish unfortunately.

Thanks that’s good to know!

Thanks! I have thought of giving a try to Bazzite but wasn’t sure I wouldn’t face the same problems with my GPU. You have the same MacBook as mine, with a discrete GPU, and you get the same snappiness as on MacOS?

Brave to say that on a Linux community indeed ha ha. I might give this a try actually! I still use MacOS offline for a few softs.

I only use a N100 CPU 16Gb mini PC for self hosting, are there models nimble enough that could run without melting the PC?

Very interesting thank you!

Bazzite has been perfect for me too.

I tried Mint on my old MacBook pro and it was really slow, impossible to scroll through a website slow. I then installed Ubuntu and had a wonderful experience

That sounds pretty cool! Could you give a bit more info about Listenbrainz please?

Ouch indeed! I’m sure you want to run powerful applications to justify the costs :-)

How much did you pay in total?
