I followed a guide to remove all that shit from the installer and still had to say no to most of it, and it showed up anyway.

if you are already using fedora I don’t see any value in switching to debian or mint.
that windows install isn’t the procedure m$ tells you to use though. the correct comparison to that IMO would be using one of the 4 or 5 easy arch installers.
that said I’d still use bazzite. now a real janky ass install would be fedora core os on an sbc, using emmc for boot but nvme for root.
is there an installer edition that doesn’t put you through the questionnaire for what level of bullshit they can trick you in to accepting?
Are you sure you’re sure that your sure that you definitely aren’t unsure about making an online account? Well here’s the form for it anyway because you didn’t remove all your network devices and use an edited install iso. And while we’re at it, here’s copilot, and a trial for office that you get billed for if you forget, and all your stuff is on onedrive securely stored for the safe perusal of relevant parties. Now please wait while we get things ready for you. You might think this unexplained loading screen is longer than the full time it takes to install most linux distros but we assure you important computery stuff is happening.
I have heard of absolutely none of those games. Looking at protondb, it’s a mixed bag of miscellaneous hassle. Supervive actually has a message that reads “wine, proton, and steam deck are not supported by this application”. Legion TD seems like you have to pray to RNG-sus. Dynasty has no reports at all… For the issues people are having with some of these, aside from supervive just blocking wine entirely, it is indeed more janky tinkering than I could justify doing myself, let alone expecting anyone else to.
post windows 7/early 10 versions, I would place it harder than arch. I had to go through a bunch of shit to get my mobo mount nvme drives to show up, then came the cursed hell of just clicking through all the setup questions where they make it sound like you have a choice, but you don’t unless you do the custom install image bullshit aka the harder windows install on the chart.
call it playing outside before the 90s simulator and I’m in.
I carried a ds through the extent of highschool that it existed for, and 2 3ds’s through post secondary. those things were loaded every day with a line up of little people waiting to say hi I’m so and so and some little catch phrase.
well that’s one more thing that can fuck right off
its easy, less gross than ubuntu/canonical, if mint specific instructions aren’t available for something then ubuntu or debian instructions will generally work without much adaptation if any, etc.
yeah bazzite is my daily driver on desktop and deck. you can use the htpc/deck image on non-nvidia systems to get the settigs panel (fps/hz, scaling, etc changed live) but I don’t want to have to switch between game and desktop mode on my desktop. I haven’t had much time outside of work other than my meager amount of sleeo and doomscrolling so I haven’t looked in to if the settings or overlays can be done as cleanly on desktop only images
The steam deck is kinda inconvenient when any level of tinkering is required due to switching between game and desktop mode and the input if you dont attach a keyboard and mouse. Non-deck distros lose the quick settings which I really like.
Try bottles too. you may or may not find it easier than lutris. I find the dependencies easier to install. After checking if anyone has already documented what dependencies are needed (directx, dotnet, etc.), I usually start with the default wine bottles uses, then try wine-ge and tkg at least before giving up. I have yet to find a game that cant be made to work but other software can be very finicky especially once dotnet is involved.
I’d just play mineclone 2 or one of the not Minecraft cube voxel games at that point

I borrowed the entire CD collections of a few friends to do this a while back. It took so long but it was probably worth jt. The worst part is when you forget about it and it sits idle for days before you remember and swap to the next disc.
Every *flation seems to exist solely to make me sad and miserable…
Yeah I’d take that if I could afford it. The dream would be a 356, and I prefer the rounder ones like 911 912 930 also (iirc), but as long as it doesn’t have too many sharp edges. There are also versions of ones I’m not really into that I like and vice versa. I definitely prefer the older ones even if they look a bit janky by modern standards. Something about old cars converted to electric just does it for me. I don’t need all the modern electronic extras apart from that of the conversion as my phone will do the rest better or more to my liking. Just good old fashion stuff that works with a motor retrofit in place of the engine, now useless gas related components removed, and batteries wherever they can be safely hidden.
thanks. I was trying to find this out but I’d constantly slip up and let it shrink.
