  • True, Linux applications (e.g. apt, dnf, pip, but also rm, sudo, and many more) would be more precise.

    For Arch, it’s probably not so easy to define “essential” packages, as it, for example, supports many different bootloaders. It is of course also a question of distro philosophy and target audience. Personally, I’ve noticed that “rm -r” as root prompts for every file on RHEL but does not on Arch…



  • I’d say Mint is fine for gaming, as long as your hardware is supported. I’m using it with an Nvidia GPU on X11 and I can play all the games I want to play (Steam is Steam after all). My main gripe is that multi-monitor VRR doesn’t work on X11, but it hasn’t pushed me to another distro just yet…

    For people/beginners that mostly want to game on a computer, I’d say that actually something “immutable” like Bazzite might be one of the best options.



  • I understood Matthew’s position as “this should be discussed in the Workstation WG first”, not as a “no”:

    in favor of the process outlined above (tl;dr: talk to the Workstation WG, and if that does not come to a satisfying outcome, file a Council ticket for next possibilities).

    It also seemed more likely that they would promote KDE without demoting Gnome.

    But was there a follow-up on that (e.g. in the Workstation WG)?
