if you need specific drivers that arent in a generic kernel you’re already out of everyday user territory even on a normal distro.

Its OK for them to step out of everyday user territory no one is saying they can’t. Its just that installing drivers on Linux is not common.

The nvidia driver is the only thing I can think that an average user would need to install and that is shipped pre installed in most distros.

Also I’m not confused Linux isn’t growing fast enough. I’m surprised limux is growing as fast as it is. Linux is growing at an insane rate.

I’m not sure that the NIC on one of the most popular Asus motherboards is really outside of everyday user territory. In my case, it’s a realtek onboard ethernet chip.

On a “normal” distro the drivers for this are pretty easy to install, and is definitely something an everyday user could achieve (double click a single file in the download from realtek).

No, on bazzite because it’s a fedora distro

Edit: wasn’t trying to to come off as a dick, reread it and I could see it taken that way

Also I’m relatively new to Linux, so I’m sure with some things that may not be true, but 100% of what I’ve had to do has been either within discover, or I’ve followed pages on fedora to find out and it’s worked Everytime. Whatever bazzite installation you have whether it’s 38/39 etc, those line up with fedora versions as far as I’m aware.

It’s been solid for me. It’s the same or less amount of troubleshooting I’d have to do on windows, and I’m familiar with windows. Making windows work is my job. That coupled with the absolute mess that is windows support pages, bazzite has been good for me. Arch was pretty cool too, not nearly as bad as people said it was going to be, I just had an issue with audio I couldn’t figure out. I just wanted a works right now solution, and that’s what it’s been.

@kadup

So I think I was partially wrong about this one. I just threw my head against the wall for a good hour because I couldn’t get a package installed through dnf.

I don’t know what all this applies to, but I think it may be most things, using rpm-ostree in place of dnf and my install finally worked.

Leaving this here in case someone stumbles up on this while trying to install packages
