Moving to Linux #2 - “I’m a Gamer!”

Mon, 06 Apr 2026 13:22:45 +0800

Yeah you did your research, you’re eyeing a gaming-centric distro to move to (Nobara, CachyOS, Bazzite etc).

My advice? Don’t.

Go back to my previous post - pick one of the 3 “newbie friendly” ones.

Why? Cuz no matter how savvy you are, no matter how much you know about hardware and how to tweak them - all that knowledge is based in WINDOWS (which you’re trying to get away from). On Linux, you’re NEW. You need to learn how to walk before you fly.

Yes, games work just fine in non-gaming distros. Just like games work fine in non-gaming Windows. The only difference you can see is probably 5 to 15 fps.

Nothing stopping you from jumping into the deep end with gaming distros though, but you’re bound to run into something that doesn’t “work quite right” and you’d be frustrated cuz the way to fix it in Windows does not apply in Linux, and suddenly you’re faced with the command prompt (“Terminal” in Linux) typing in arcane commands.

My personal recommendation for a “typical user” trying to escape Microslop and Windows, and moving to Linux - use Linux Mint.

Close 2nd - Tuxedo OS . Looks closer to Windows 10 “out of the box” than Mint. Mint looks more like Windows 7.

3rd - Zorin OS is more geared towards people coming from Macs, but works well enough for Windows refugees too.

So far, these three have been the only distros that “everything works” just like Windows. So if you just want things to work and don’t want to mess with command prompt, use one of these.

[Bluetooth] No track info on car head unit after Oreo update

[Bluetooth] No track info on car head unit after Oreo update:

Link to article. Excerpt:

Re: [Bluetooth] No track info on car head unit after Oreo update OK, despite that no one seems to care about that, I’ll post a solution that (partially) solved the problem for me:

Turn on Bluetooth
Delete all pairings
Turn off Bluetooth
Go to Settings – Apps & notifications – App info – Three dots menu – Show system

Clean data (not cache) for the Bluetooth, Bluetooth MIDI provider, btidd

Reboot the phone (optional, but recommended)

Go to Settings – System – Developer options (Google how to enable that)
Link to do this –> https://www.thecustomdroid.com/enable-developer-options-usb-debugging-android-pie/

Scroll down to Networking – Bluetooth AVRCP Version.

Set it to AVRCP 1.5

Turn on Bluetooth, pair your device

You should be fine now. For older devices you could try to set AVRCP to 1.4.
