#pikaos — Public Fediverse posts

Mit dem Ende '24 gekauften MinisforumV3 einmal #Fedora (als #Nobara), zu #Arch (als #CachyOS), doch wieder zurück zu #Debian (in Form von #pikaos).
Weil eben auf den Servern sowieso debian läuft und eins sich mit apt und co. doch einfacher tut.
Und weil Glasfaser eben auch kein Schmerz mehr, alles inklusive der steam Bibliothek neu aus dem Netz zu ziehen.

Yet again, I have tried a new OS on my Laptop on the Side: PikaOS, the Niri edition which basically needs zero configuration outside of changing a few things. As the creator was kind enough to include a settings menu that basically allows the user to make useful changes without ever touching a config file. I like that for the time being. PikaOS is based on Debian which means I can use .deb packages and install packages conventionally.

I really like how it flows right out of the box. It's fairly polished, however, the login greeter will duplicate some of my keyboard inputs. It's not the worst issue out of the gate and it could be fixed. I tipped them a coffee as a way of thanks for a decent experience. I'll probably install another distro on this thing now. I wanted to trial run it.

However, I am still on the hunt for a Systemd free OS that doesn't side with that deranged Xlibre dev. I looked at KaOS, given the packages were slim. It wasn't right for me.

Lekte meg litt med Live ISO image ikveld, de forskjellige verktøyene og oppstartsguiden til #PikaOS :pikaos: er det beste jeg har sett, fra et brukerperspektiv.

At dette er en distro med bare tre-fire utviklere fra England er litt vanskelig å forstå. Kommer garantert til å installere denne på gaming-maskinen min når jeg ser jeg har tid til å bruke noen kvelder på å sette alt opp igjen.

Eneste skepsis er at utviklerne ikke opererer med fullt navn.

Jeg tror kanskje jeg har funnet min neste distro. Denne videoen var en veldig fin gjennomgang av hvordan installere og sette opp best mulig. #pikaos :pikaos:

In the last weeks/months, I've been using #PikaOS linux distro (both #kde and #cosmic)

Mostly because it has #nvidia drivers pre-installed. But I experienced a few issues and bugs

I think I'm done trying unknown distros

I recently learned that #ZorinOS can also come with nvidia so I think I'll try it

Zorin is well known and developed in #ireland

I wish I could find a good distro with Nvidia made in #canada

But, at least it's not coming from the USA. That's why I don't use Pop_OS anymore

Welp, my #PikaOS mini pc is having a kernel panic and crashing fit after updating….

Off to other pastures thats are greener and just a bit slower…

#OpenSUSE #Slowroll

My #maplelinux (canadian) distro broke this morning. #nvidia wasn't loading anymore.

Honestly, that's something that I expected from the very beginning.

I tried removing it and go back to nouveau, the open source driver. But it wouldn't work.

I got tired of fighting with it, so I installed a new OS instead: #pikaOS

It's a #debian based #linux distro. They have some ISO with nvidia included. Thank God.

@mikybo78 @linux @[email protected] Confermo che #PikaOS è validissima: ottimizzata, scattante, sartoriale e semplice (es. unico gestore update per pacchetti distro e flatpak) e ben supportata via Discord dai maintainer. Una distro underdog che merita più attenzione, avendo portato Debian all'avanguardia del versante gaming.

Несколько Linux-проектов для геймеров объединились в Open Gaming Collective. В инициативе участвуют Bazzite, ASUS Linux, PikaOS, Fyra Labs и другие команды, развивающие игровые дистрибутивы. Идея простая — перестать по отдельности решать одни и те же проблемы и совместно развивать базовые компоненты игрового стека Linux.

OGC сосредоточится на общем ядре, системах ввода и инструментах вроде Gamescope, а все изменения будут сразу уходить в апстрим, без долгоживущих форков. Для пользователей это означает более быструю поддержку нового железа, меньше багов и более единый игровой опыт между разными Linux-дистрибутивами.

Am Samstag noch großen Ärger mit dem #PikaOS gehabt. Das große Systemupdate, mehr als 1000 neue Pakete, hatte einfach alles zerschossen. Liebe Devs, wenn man schon so ein heftiges Update herausbringt, wäre vorher testen schon sehr geil gewesen.

Also der Test war somit nicht erfolgreich. Das Projekt muss wohl noch länger reifen. Ich bin jetzt wieder mit @mxlinux unterwegs. Und dank der Timeshift Sicherung war der Umzug jetzt auch nicht so dramatisch.

Auf der Arbeit läuft noch das @SparkyLinux erfolgreich auf dem Laptop vor sich hin, trotzt das es Semi Rolling ist. Bisher keinen einzigen Updatefail gehabt.

PikaOS 26.01.24 introduce un massiccio aggiornamento con oltre duecentomila pacchetti ricostruiti, nuovi desktop environment aggiornati e un kernel più moderno. #PikaOS #Linux #Debian

So the Owlbear has mentioned before that animations can be an accessibility issue. I personally find them to be very useful. They don't have to be much, or fancy, just present.

That said, I like them to be at least a little appealing. And the default #Niri stuff on #PikaOS fits the bill. I have taken to this tiling WM in a way that I haven't with others. The Expose feature combined with a simple scrolling workspace is familiar, easy to use, and powerful.

That said, I'm probably not staying here.

I just prefer a (very) slightly modified #Gnome workflow. The tiling features built into Gnome are enough for Owlbear s, and even if they weren't, the tiling Gnome Extensions fit the bill.

So imma prolly play with Niri for a few more days and then switch to… I dunno. It might be time to settle down for a minute. Something comfortable? #Arch, #Debian, #OpenSuse - one of the core operating systems maybe?

And probably Gnome. It's where I go to get stuff done.

So yesterday was my first foray into using #Niri and it's super pretty, friends. The windows organize themselves coherently by default, the keyboard commands are fairly intuitive and once I wrapped my head around the basics, the Owlbear could even guess a few (I'm working with the #PikaOS defaults here).

I'm running into a issue with it rendering Steam, in that it's just a black window and none of the contents are visisble. This isn't my gaming PC so that's not a HUGE issue. I mostly play stuff from #itchio or #OpenSourceGames on my laptop if I play games at all. So I can sort it out, like, when I get around to it.

Anyway, first impressions are overall positive! I'll report further when I have other stuff to say 😃

On a completely unrelated note, I think imma try this #Niri #WindowManager I keep hearing about. Gonna throw the Niri version of #PikaOS on my laptop and dive straight into deep end.

Oh, have I told y'all that The Owlbear is running PikaOS on their gaming computer? And is rather liking it? I know, the Owlbear running #Debian based #Linux. I'm as surprised as anyone.

(FTR before anyone jumps on me, I have absolutely nothing against Debian, and in fact recognize it as possibility the most important of the major distributions; any and all shots I make at Debian are jokes.)

Nachdem die Lady @sunshine eine Linux Gaming Distro verpasst bekommen hat, habe ich mich auch ein bisschen umgeschaut.

Gefunden habe ich für mich das #PikaOS. Image basierendes Debian Zocker OS mit richtig schnellen Bootzeiten und vielen Extras. Und ja, da haben auch die Entwickler vom CachyOS und Nobara ihre Finger mit drin. Es sieht mit Artworks nicht nur niedlich aus, sondern macht auch lustige Geräusche beim Einloggen in den Desktop.

Die Performance mit meinen GOG Linux Games ist sehr gut. Keine Lags oder ähnliches. Die Installation der Games habe ich mit Minigalaxy völlig problemlos erledigt. Lutris läuft auch, habe nur die Wine-GE und Proton-GE Performance noch nicht getestet.

There seems to be a lot of demand for videos on CachyOS, Bazzite, and Pop!_OS right now (according to my comments section).

I am thinking of doing a quick look review (in the future), but I want to know which one you're most curious about first. I’m running a parallel poll on my YouTube channel too!

Which "gaming" Linux distro should I dive into?

#LinuxGaming #OpenSource #GamingOnLinux #DistroHopping #TechPoll #Linux #GNULinux #GNU #Bazzite #CachyOS #PopOS #PikaOS #videogames #NoAI #HumanMade

So I ended up going with #PikaOS for my gaming PC, and I'm currently trying out #AerynOS on my laptop.

The install process needs work; you have to manually partition your hard drive. Which, honestly, is a good idea right now; the OS is in alpha, so if you can't manage to set up your hard drive using Gparted, you probably shouldn't be running it yet.

Some more OS #shenanigans today: Did an update on the #Bazzite mini pc and it #borked the system. Once logged in the system would freeze.

After some attempts to troubleshoot I installed #PikaOS instead. For all intents and purposes, it runs and looks the same just with a different base.

And on the main pc front if I cannot fix the issues with glitchy gnome apps on #Nobara, I will be moving to another distro soonish.

Okay, so after making a big post about how I was looking for a new #Linux foreverhome and I was gonna stop #DistroHopping on my laptop and wanted something...

Look. Long story short, I put #GnomeOS Nightly on my laptop because who cares about production-stable?

I will say my new Browser Home (at least currently) is #Waterfox because it fit in my threat model, has a slightly tweaked interface that I feel fits in better on a Gnome desktop, and overall just seemed the way to go.

Still trying to figure out what to so with my Gaming PC (currently running Bazzite). #PikaOS maybe? #DraugerOS? Something #Arch based?

I dunno, but you can rest assured that The Owlbear will absolutely bore you with the details!

@Kaishen #CachyOS has gaming specific tweaks that some folks like, but it can be a bit unstable.

#PikaOS is a truly outstanding Debian based system built for gaming. I tested it out and I'm a fan, and that's coming from someone who usually bounces off Debian based distros.

Those would be the ones I'd point you towards. Of the two, I'd say Pika is the better overall experience, but Cachy is more optimized.

Tried #PikaOs because it looked super cute

Can't login after initial setup . Twice.

Laughed and switch back to #manjaro

Seit ein paar Wochen #pikaos #niri auf meinem Notebook. Obwohl es auf debian sid basiert kommen selten Updates aus dem distro-eigenen Repo. Trotzdem läuft es nicht ganz rund. keepassxc hat noch nie funktioniert.
Ist mir dann doch etwas zu "boutique". Werde wieder auf #opensuse zurückwechseln zumal #noctalia - dieselbe schicke Shell - auch dort zu finden ist (3rd party repo).

#wayland #windowtiling

Dafür, daß #pikaos auf debian sid basiert kommen überraschend wenig und selten Updates. 🤔

What's the best #Linux distro/spin for someone who is coming from Windows 11 or Windows 10, aside from #LinuxMint?

Seit ein paar Tagen läuft #pikaos auf meinem #xps9305
Inzwischen habe ich meine eigenen Shortcuts eingerichtet und meine eigenen Wallpapers hinterlegt.

Das System gefällt mir soweit ganz gut. Vor allem #quickshell ist Bombe! Hoffentlich ist dies bei #opensuse auch bald verfügbar.

Mal gespannt wie stabil #debiansid ist..

#windowtiling #niri #linux

#pikaos auf meinem #xps9305 installiert. Soweit ich das sehe ist pikaos die einzige Distribution, die ein #niri Image anbietet.
Die Installation war etwas anstrengend, da der Installer encryption + #BTRFSSnapshots nicht unterstützt.
Letztendlich ist es auf eine btrfs-Rootpartition und eine verschlüsselte ext4-home-Partition hinausgelaufen. Immerhin. Snapshots waren mir auf jeden Fall wichtig, da ich #debiansid nicht ganz vertraue und ich der Meinung bin, daß jede Rolling Release Distribution snapshots out of the box mitbringen sollte.
Optisch ist pikaos sehr ansprechend. Vor allem #quickshell sieht toll aus!
Es gibt eine Art Willkommens-Menü für das erste Update. Es bietet die Möglichkeit Codec-Unterstützung zu installieren. Wieso bekommt #opensuse sowas nicht hin?!
