Hi all,
I’m traveling for a few months so I picked up a used gaming laptop from one of those trading sites. It’s an ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 2024.
I initially went with Windows because I wanted to game. I was gonna miss my terminal for dev and a bunch of other things but I thought compatibility and not dealing with hassle was more important for now. The thing is, for some reason, the laptop would be running really hot all the time … even when idling.
I got fed up and I put Pop OS! loaded steam with the compatibility stuff and ran a few games really well. My only issue so far was that the laptop keyboard didn’t work during installation but after an update it was fine. The laptop obviously gets hot when running games but when idling it runs really cool.
This is now making me feel like I can convert my gaming desktop over as well!
I was considering Bazzite too? Anyone know if it’s worth it?
I’ve been using Pop OS on an old surface pro I have. I was surprised everything just worked out of the box. I’ve been enjoying it so far but haven’t done much other than web browsing and using a few applications. I’ll have to try a dual boot on my gaming PC.
Due to some recommendations I have used Bazzite.
I thought it was a bit of a locked down OS due to what I was used to. I realized that’s because of what it’s built on top of on? Like you should be using distrobox to boot up different terminals to install packages and stuff. It took me a little while to get used to it.
POP OS has been pretty good for me as well. Overall, quite happy with my Linux experience.
