it reminds me I’m putting proprietary crap in the machine.
Agreed.
Can be a pain in the ass when the wifi doesn’t work because some proprietary firmware is missing, and the laptop doesn’t have an Ethernet port so off you go to buy a usb-eth adaptor.
happened to me too. Lame mediatek doesn’t have drivers for Linux.
I don’t understand, If Pop OS, Nobara, Bazzite can, why not all distros? Is it a philosophical reason to not include proprietary drivers?
But, what about some Distros have NVIDIA Versions, Which come with proprietary Drivers? Like Nobara, Bazzite, Pop OS…?
They don’t have legal issues?
I think its because the country they are based on. I also heard that VLC has lots of codecs (even proprietary ones), because it’s origin country doesn’t restrict them to use proprietary codecs.
Thank You
For the Illustration.
I’m totally new to Atomic Desktops. How rebasing differs from installing fresh OS?
And what exactly is rebasing though?
Thanks for the idea.
Which one is more beneficial?
(Personal preference)
So, No Difference?
Thank You.
IOW
?
this works ok
People said that the new 555 Nvidia drivers works good.
I’m using Mint. It doesn’t install proprietary Nvidia drivers along the system install. But provides a slick Driver manager where you download proprietary Drivers without any hassle. It does include nouveau during install though.
Thank You.
But, how do you put a line in your reply though?
So, it’s just the philosophy of FOSS stopping distros from using proprietary?
Does this mean upcoming distros can have the drivers inbuilt? NVIDIA Cards working out of the box? I’m Out of the Loop.

GE mentioned this update will be a smooth transition.
Also is Nobara a good candidate for daily driver or bazzite?
It worked. Thank you so much man.
include uid= and guid= as part of your mount options.
Where ? How?
Thank You. I’m scared about possible data loss (if any) when changing NTFS permissions on Linux.
I suspect /mnt/Storage is too
It is
It asked when open nemo as root. And didn’t asked when I change the permissions.( Because nemo is already root, I suppose)
Thank You.
I can’t understand this though. So, Bazzite is built on top of Fedora SIlverblue/Kionite?
