I use OnlyOffice and enjoy it. I do notice some fancy features missing but as I’m not a power user it doesn’t bother me. I’ve opened OnlyOffice docx files in MS Office and vice versa many times with no issues ever. I’ve also installed MS fonts on my Linux distro and they work in OnlyOffice. I don’t notice it pushing online features like somebody else said

Not normal for me

That looks like a pretty nifty OS. If I can’t get the software working via Wine or something I’ll definitely try this before Windows in a VM

Thank you. I’ll be sure to that I have the libraries I need

Interesting. I use it on Linux and haven’t had the issue of uninstallable games. I wish Playnite had a Linux client

I have previously used VirtualBox successfully. I am really trying to stay away from Windows if at all possible. If I absolutely had to I might run a VM with WinXP or Vista just for it

I totally get what you’re saying. Luckily for me the program just runs formulas so I can figure out for instance what size plenum, what length runners, what size turbo, etc. I need. I’m not using it to flash a tune as my engine is too old for that fancy stuff

I’m getting Windows out of my life. I’ll look into Wine again

Like running Windows in a VM with the program? I really don’t want Windows in my life if possible

I tried Lutris first and it was okay but left something to be desired. I switched to Heroic and am in love with it. It works so well and the UI is great

Very reasonable, thank you

Can you elaborate on why new Linux users shouldn’t use an Atomic system? I’ve been looking to try one so I have no experience as of yet. My Dad wants to try Linux with his upcoming new computer. I was thinking Fedora Kinoite as from what I understand, they just work and have a very low chance of breaking. He doesn’t do anything beyond the basic computing tasks like web browsing, writing documents and spreadsheets, and archiving photos. Do you think it wouldn’t be good for him?

Use Tenacity instead

I just read this in their FAQ: “We can’t tell the exact price yet. However it will be at the lower end of Steamdeck pricing.”

Check out ETA Prime on YouTube. He has lots of videos on the 7840U at 1080P. It can play modern games at 1080P at low to mid settings generally.

I thought the same thing but looked out of curiosity and was presently surprised. Glad it wasn’t a Rokchip of some kind or it wouldn’t be so powerful

I 100% agree with everything you said. It seems like devices with the hardware that this tend to go for around a grand or a little more

Exactly my thoughts! The touchpads were key

Thanks for the info! This is really useful to know and definitely puts me off a little. I would hope installing another OS would preserve the device features. I started to look into “Manjaro Gaming Edition.” It all looks to be from a few years ago and based on XFCE. However on the device’s website it mentions a Plasma desktop so I wonder if they did a special version for this. One can hope it’ll be a better kept version of the OS from what you said.

I haven’t personally used it but Bazzite is a custom image based off of Fedora 39 with preinstalled gaming software and it’s atomic
