Oh shit, will definitely be trying this out. I tend to make wildly overzealous find searches

https://nobaraproject.org/ Nobara is EXCELLENT. It took me weeks to tweak my last distro to get to the point that Nobara is out of the box, and GloriousEggroll sets it all up and keeps it updated for everyone.
As for dual booting, you should be able to follow any online guide (and the Nobara installer might even have an option for it). The only caveat is Nobara does NOT support secure boot, so you may have to disable that in your bios (you can google the benefits of secure boot, I find that for a stationary desktop in the hands of any reasonable user, it’s not necessary. Only reason I ever turn it on is to play Valorant on Windows 11 🙃)
…does Doom use it for anything?
A lot of the time, rust rewrites are more for devs, than users. Rust code is just easier to maintain (in the long-run 😉) and harder to make buggy. But some times the apps do just run faster when compiled with Rust.
Man, you’d think getting backed by a massive tech company would increase your stability…
I specifically like to keep up with linux gaming news, so I have these two in my RSS feeds:
https://www.gamingonlinux.com/
https://linuxgamingcentral.com/
They just make good informative posts in general, not always relating to Linux.
Yeah pretty much where I’m at. I have to be careful not to seed basically at all, otherwise I’ll get angry letters from my ISP. Kinda sucks, and most if not all VPN services charge money to be able to use torrenting over them. But maybe someday I’ll work out a system.
Cool, I'll look into messing around with that to see if I can script up a nice comment viewer.
Just in case no one comes along with a better answer; I would say it’s just too niche a use-case to expect a whole distro to be maintained for it. A super stable/popular distro like Ubuntu, Fedora, or Mint will be easy enough to use that I would consider downloading all the apps you’d need for writing to be feasible for a “non-technical” person. i.e., just as easy (if not easier, thanks to Flatpak) as doing so on Windows.
Hugely appreciate all the work you’ve done. Even if not by direct means, I’m certain your work will inspire new iterations in new communities.
Tears of the Kingdom, so much to do. Might also sprinkle in some Persona 5 Strikers, it's been in my backlog for a while now.
Oh yah.. duh. That’s pretty neat.
