I’m currently on Win11 but I’m getting that familiar Linux itch and want to dual boot a while again. I tend to gravitate towards Ubuntu simply because it’s so big and well supported by most things.

I’ve run Arch in the past but I’ve gotten too old and lazy for that if I’d be completely honest. I have played with manjaro and endeavour though… and opensuse tumbleweed, rolling is kind of nice.

Not sure what I’d try out first this time so I figured I’d get some inspiration from you guys!

    Are they providing the arch based version for download now? I was under the impression they’ve only set it up for steam decks but not for general use?

      @nlm You’re right, but there is an unofficial version (with some tweaks to work on standards PC) available here.

      It works as intended, but I would only recommend it if you intend to use your PC in a console-like setup (ie, plugged to a big screen, with a game controller).

        Ah cool!

        Not something I’d use now then but still neat that you can get it :)

        I tried HoloISO and had pretty mixed results. I’ve had much better luck with ChimeraOS.

        The devs on ChimeraOS are excellent too, they take in community feedback and are very helpful.

        Yeah, thought so. Hope they’ll publish their newer versions as well soon.
