GAMING ON LINUX

I think I have found my perfect gaming Operating System for my PC, Official

AUTOMATIC UPDATES ON FEDORA

I really like Fedora as an Operating System, especially the Plasma Desktop
Environment version. I also like to set and forget things; one of those things
is updates. When I started using Fedora again in 2022, I noticed that there was

WAITING FOR STEAMOS 3.X, UNTIL THEN CHIMERAOS

HDMI COMPLICATIONS

HDMI works well enough, when you don't add too many devices into the chain. In
my previous post about my capture setup, the documentation shows that the USB
capture goes to the TV. When I created that diagram, I did not have the HDMI

A BOOK SUGGESTION
