I tired to use zorin recently, but went back home to bazzite. Zorin felt like a skin on Ubuntu and didn’t give me the warm fuzzies inside. I’m sure its fine, but not for me 🙂.

Makemkv works as well

Agreed

I agree. On a new machine I’ve been using I tried Ubuntu and then Zorin, but Bazzite just works better. Could be the Fedora base that’s helping a lot, idk. But switching that machine over when I’m not lazy.

I think older versions of office work under wine. I think the 2020 versions… I forget

Maybe AI generated

This is cool, but since is using lxd in the backend, i wonder how well someone can migrate the containers between systems? I guess non-stateful migration should be possible…

I have been playing with Incus recently.

You can run Windows in vms on Linux if you don’t need screaming performance. I think you can directly install from iso with Incus as well. I haven’t find this yet, i used Qemu instead.

You could spin up a vm with mx and see how it works.

I only pick up the new LTS when the next non-LTS is released

No way! I am totally shocked! /s

Bohi linux?

I wanted to share that i was able to get my CD copies of SimCity and SimCity 3000 running on Linux using Lutris to run the installer and configure wine. I can’t believe that Linux has become the way to run old 16/32 bit applications originally designed for Windows. Love it

I have bazzite, it also includes graphics drivers ready to go which is nice. If you’re going to use steam for gaming i find it great. But this distro is not needed for gaming, one can install and game on any of the popular distros. You’re friend needs to try a few and see what feel best for them.
