Ventoy might contain backdoors or other malicious code:

The author(s?) long refused to react on questions about the source code for the precompiled code inside their git repository.
They long refused to react on questions about the security risks.
When an answer was finally given, it boiled down to a simple "There is no reason to assume that we would have placed malware inside."
Again after a really long time the authors finally mentioned what other source code they used to generate some−but not all−of the pre-compiled code. They did not mention the build methods and refused to prove that this really was the used source code.
The real identities of the authors is unknown.

Proton 11 also has reduced latency, because inherently xwayland added another layer.

Now since its running on proton with wayland natively and no layer, Its 8-10ms latency reduced. As well as just being less buggy and less chance to have stuttering/compositing problems.

If Chris truly hates Windows that much he wouldn't be living off of making a utility to fix it to get people to move to Linux. But he knows that Windows hate and Linux worship sells so he keeps biting the hand that feeds.

can you prove they are not?

Linux mint might seem like a user friendly option. I do remember starting on it myself but what i noticed was that while it had a user interface and software that was supposed to make it easy to use it simply wasn't since you would run into issues that couldn't be easily fixed.

Linux mint (unless you go for the debian edition) also happen to be a fork of a fork which is just stupid. Debian is probably a sinking ship now though.

I honestly Found Arch Linux to be easier to use and had less problems than linux mint. At least Arch Linux has a decent wiki still where a lot of things are well documented.

As for standard Ubuntu: nobody should touch anything from them ever after the numerous malware incidents on their snap store (they seem to make stupid decisions in general and deserve to fail).

I remember installing linux mint on a computer i build for my grandmother. It seemed to work fine but then once i had already handed over the computer it just broke down for reasons that are unclear to me (she ended up going back to windows).

>>108680039
The only reason I prefer other distros over Mint is Gayland. Sure, Mint Cinnamon is alright, but I want Gayland. KDE or GNOME. I don't want another 2 years

You can drop DXVK under Windows in games and get both an FPS and frametime boost. Ergo, Vulkan is the real solution, not Linux.

>Gaming and beginners
Bazzite. Why? Because the Bazzite (or any other Universal Blue distro) are truly the only "install and use" linux distros which make them perfect for beginners. And for gamers it's ready to use ootb without needing to anything else.
>Everything else
Ubuntu. Yes, there's Mint; and yes, there's people who hate Canonical. But objectively, Ubuntu is the best "regular use" distro by a long shot, even after all of Canonical's bs.
>Bonus point: CachyOS.
ONLY if the user is a poweruser who wants to really fiddle with the latest software/packages. Objectively, any performance gain isn't significative in real usage nor in productivity. CachyOS won't give you any real advantage over Bazzite in games or Ubuntu in anything else. It's just a hobby distro, which is fine, but not needed in a "recommended list".

They're fundamentally the same, Fedora + codecs/drivers. And in the upcoming releases they'll even share the same OGC kernel. Ultramarine is fine in concept but honestly is just managed by 7 people (degenerates also) so you'd be better using plain Fedora and invest 20 minutes adding everything Ultramarine does.
>Cachyos is for normies
Arch will never be "for normies" no matter how simplified it gets. You're misleading what a "normie" is. A normie is literally your mom, grandpa, or your lukewarm IQ next door neightboor. Which only want something to boot and work without any friction. CachyOS may work at fist, but rolling updates and maintenance are bound to fuck up something eventually.
>Linux mint sucks and has fallen behind
I agree with you with the "fallen behind" part. But it doesn't suck. It's like a well maintained old reliable car compared to a brand new electric. Both have pros and cons, but yeah the newer distros have more bells and whistles, while Mint will just turn on, work, and do absolutely nothing else.

Portable apps capability is the biggest one for me when it comes to windblows. MXlinux can be run as a portable OS but it's just not the same.

>>108680967
Windows 11 is my main OS, but Fedora is one of the few linux distros I like: Modern, yet professionally put together. The codec nonsense is a weakness.

>Bazzite for gamers
as someone who's never used linux before having a few things preconfigured for me and having immutability there as a safety net appeals to me. but is that worth it over the being part of the larger Fedora user base?

>>108681226
Bazzite is fine, I used it for a while, but I went back to regular fedora. Even Mint is fine. What's your usecase and hardware, any exotic peripherals?

>>108681092
It cannot play them because of codec patents, and being based in the US they have no choice. When you grow up, you'll realize that Red Hat backing is a good thing.

We're different sorts of users though. I need the OS as an engineer tool, for you it's a religion, lifestyle, and a hobby.

There was a madman who made a huge PKGBUILD that recreated Ventoy and all its blobs by compiling actual source code from reputable sources, so as long as you used Ventoy from that PKGBUILD you should be fine.

>>108681303
>usecase
very basic just casual gaming and browsing 4chud, don't need any special software or anticheat

planning on building a new pc with an amd gpu, 9060 or 9070 probably

none

>>108681038
If Linuxfags weren't stuck up fags all the time then AppImage would've gotten a wider adoption, it's a more elegant solution than PortableApps but because it doesn't adhere to their crooked worldview of the "Unix way", despite Linux being anything but Unix, they refuse to use it out of some ass backwards principle.

>>108681402
You are golden, literally any distro will work. Just stick to the mainstream ones.
>Arch
>Debian
>Fedora
All of these require some setup. Fedora is probably the easiest to setup, just make sure to enable "RPMFusion" for the codecs. There are a lot of guides. And if you just want to start, with minimal effort, use popular forks of those mainstream distros:
>CachyOS
>Ubuntu/Mint
>Nobara/Bazzite

>>108681274
>you don't have to stay there forever
>>108681468
>if you just want to start, with minimal effort, use popular forks of those mainstream distros
think I'll go with bazzite to start and hop to fedora once I'm more comfortable. thanks anons

>>108681226
is baby wheels distro, perfect for what it is, your first steps. Eventually (a year or a month depending on your needs) you will 100% distro hop again, and that's fine, you can even go back to winblows if you want, but at the very least you did tried it.

I use Lubuntu on my laptop.

As someone in the process of convincing a friend to use Linux, I'm struggling to work out why CachyOS isn't a good option.
Arch was my first OS and that went fine, Cachy by comparison seems incredibly noob friendly.
In what way would Bazzite be better? Because in my opinion it would be worse due to the lack of AUR being able to pull anything someone might want to install.

>>108677162
>Bazzite for gamers
What can Bazzite do that some normie distro can't ?

How about they fuck off back to windows?

It may be a UEFI rootkit, the one you cannot remove from your computer, it gets injected before your OS boots. You need to throw out your computer and get a new one. Or get a new UEFI chip soldered on your motherboard.
But that's only if you treat this seriously. If you don't care about someone stealing savegames to your skyrim, then don't bother doing anything about it.

The real meaning: Ventoy uses shit from a million different sources, some of which are code that isn't fully open-source. Some of these might be problematic or have aback door.
The anon meaning: You're about to be raped and murdered time to set your computer on fire.

>>108677162
cachyos for gamers and ubuntu for everyone else. power users will have no problem stripping snap out of ubuntu or making whatever other changes they need to.

>>108682136
why the fuck would a power user want anything debian related?
the purpose of it is diametrically opposed to those use cases

>>108682084
No idea, desu. You should ask someone who did some firmware tinkering. Pretty sure it is possible to access stuff on your PC before anything boots. Does not have to boot into EFI, may as well do something to MBR boot sector. Ventoy supports all of them btw.

>>108682159
all distros are 99% similar. if someone can't get a distro to do what they want they're not actually a power user, they're just a poseur. eg, there is no difference between portage and deb-src outside of a couple terms.

>>108682196
It would be great to use something like debian fully built from sources. If not for teh events that cause it to turn into DEIbian.

Uh no, that's missing 2 categories, where is the distro for power users that have CPUs that CachyOS doesn't support (pic related, those would be CPUs older than the ones listed here)?
Where is the minimal distro for very limited hardware?

Office workers are better off having bazzite/aurora for the immutability/rollbacks/SELinux/etc

The only time my mint installation broke was because of me being stupid auto booting partitions. It's literally retarded proof if you just install from the store and use normally and everything that works on debian and ubuntu works on mint so it's easy to troubleshoot.

>>108682689
Distro has nothing to do with it. If you have nVidia you run davinci. If you have amd you run KDEnlive.

>>108682692
Those distros probably have a GUI package manager included by default and auto updaters since ages ago, wouldn't be different from the modern windows user with windows update and microsoft store.

>>108677162
>TroonziteOS
NO FUCKING THANKS, I prefer windows than this piece of r
Shit that has a trans kid as mascot.

>>108681957
I imagine the difference between cachyos and bazzite for example is that bazzite comes with all the bloat pre installed while cachyos you need to click on the package manager or "cachyos hello" program to do it for you.

>>108682692
>>108682627
the ublue distros (bazzite and aurora) update automatically and automically. if some officecattle fucks up his PC you just get the IT guy to roll it back for them. way simpler than windows, way harder to fuck up. i genuinely believe that immutable distros will be what brings linux into the mainstream (i.e. in the workplace).

>>108682307
You know you can just use generically compiled packages like with any other distro right.

>>108677162
just use artix or devuan

Lol @ Debian
When will you pretend Linux users start using a real distro.. you know actual Linux like Void, Artix, or Devuan?

>>108683526
Deuan is downstream of Debian so anything bad that happens to Debian will most likely happen to it

>>108683544
Devuan is so heavily forked it's not even recognizable as Debian. The maintainers will but remove any DEI gayness out anything the flows down
