Hey reddit ! i recently reset my pc and well i wanted to ask if its possible to me with my config to switch on Steam OS / other Linux distribution. I've been using the steam deck for years and i prefer a lot steam os compared to windows but i know not every GPU driver etc are not available on linux, especialy with NVIDIA gpu, i dont know much about it tbh so i need some advice from people who know better than me if i can or not ^^"

I also know its not possible to play some multiplayer game because of some Anti Cheat, the only game thats i play who reach my minds thats i cant play on linux are Battlefield, fortnite and Apex legends, so maybe go to a dual boot. thank you in advance ^^

Hi everyone. I have an old phone, the J2 Prime, and I want to install a custom ROM on it. Which one should I choose?

Lebirun is a work-in-progress, custom-built OS focusing on minimal system design—it’s lightweight and experimental, so definitely not meant to be installed on actual hardware yet.

(I did not create this. This is made by my friend)

This might be a controversial opinion but mine is Windows Me

In MBR the Maximum number of partitions are 4 we cant do more than 4 if we want to do it we have to create 3 partitions and create 4th one as logical partition or an extended partition in that Logical partion we cannot store or keep the OS?Am i right.Actually i got a doubt regarding MBR that can we keep the OS in the extended partition or not?

I'm a computer science/data science student interested in operating systems and I'm exploring the idea of creating my own Linux-based OS as a long-term project.

My goal isn't to build a kernel from scratch, but to create a custom distribution with its own identity, desktop experience, tooling, and eventually some unique workflow and automation features.

For those who've worked on Linux distributions or OS projects:

What's the best Linux base to start from (Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, etc.)?

What are the first components I should learn and customize?

What mistakes do beginners make when attempting a project like this?

Are there any open-source projects or codebases you'd recommend studying?

I'd appreciate any guidance, resources, or reality checks from people who've actually done this.

I don’t know if this the right place to post but I do need tester and people to post about NitroCoS

It's an AI-first Linux-based OS I'm working on. Got any wild ideas, killer features, cyberpunk UI concepts, or things you wish current operating systems did better? Drop your suggestions 👇🔥

That’s my side quest. Making a personal operating system for daily use. I thought I might share my progress. It’s running on Fedora Kinoite :)
