Bazzite is the answer you search for. Learn the terminal & eventually get a grasp on why atomic distros are cool and you'll be okay. I was on windows for years & when I learned the terminal for that it was like I was giving God powers.

The only thing I'm trying to install linux on is my Raspberry Pi. Upon googling Bazzite, it doesn't seem to support Raspberry Pi.

Also, I've been trying to learn terminal off and on for 15ish years, with no luck. I've been trying to get the fan to work, unsucsessfully on my raspberry pi, for 4 years now. Apperently I have to compile some code......I don't know what that means.......

the benefits of Bazzite are centred around it having good performance with nVidia / AMD / Intel GPUs.

RasPi doesnt work with those GPUs, so it makes sense Bazzite wouldn't support it.

Compiling means that you take code then run that code trough a program that checks if the code works like intended. After that it will put out a binary/exe/whatever that you can work with further.

From wiki:

In computing, a compiler is a computer program that translates computer code written in one programming language into another language. The name "compiler" is primarily used for programs that translate source code from a high-level programming language to a low-level programming language to create an executable program. There are many different types of compilers which produce output in different useful forms.

And I have no idea what that means.

How do you reboot? You click start>power>reboot.

I know what that means.

Ask me to compile a script? Uhhhhh.......

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The code is your ingredients, you put the ingredients together, then bake it (compile). When it's done you have a pie (a program you can execute and run).

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

A lot of people would rather just go to a store and buy a pie.

Worst case scenario you can take it apart & put it back together to maybe find a defective part. Terminal is tricky because of the language barrier. It's all just coding with extra steps which isn't meant to dumb it down.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, and I don't know coding. I need it dumbed down.

to be fair, the Raspberry Pi has never been pitched as an idiot-proof consumer appliance.

it is supposed to be a cheap way for people to get into studying programming /computing / electronics.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Correction.......it's never been pitched that way by the makers of raspberry pi.

I first learned of it on youtube by some guy showing how easy it was to set up, and get your home arcade up and running in 30 minutes.

Yeeeeaaaahhhh..........no.
