What distro would you recommend to harness the full power of this semi old cheapo PC with an NVIDIA GPU? in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world

I would just toss in my experience w Bazzite as a warning - I don't recommend, unless you're already a fedora devotee or really cool with how an atomic distro works. The 'it just works' was exactly NOT what I experienced - had to constantly manually set Xwindow compatibility with Flatseal (apps just ... wouldn't open... no explanation! Yay! The wayland is buggy? Took a few threads on Bazzites official discord to figure that out). It wouldn't mount secondary drives... would take a fuckton of work to get them recognized, mounted, and then it would 'forget' them again! Discord NEVER functioned properly (no streaming, even on Canary fork, etc. etc. etc.) It come's with things 'preinstalled' and if those are exactly what you need its probably fine, but its a handheld/steamOS facing project... I don't see any reason to recommend it here. For me (prefer GNOME environment, despite limitations), I've settled on a slightly tweaked version of Pop!_OS and s76's cosmic environment... but y'know, as others mention, this will run most popular stuff. I always love to go w a Debian fork for stability and familiarity. YMMV. Good luck!

How do you avoid plastics/plastic packaging as options dwindle? (lemm.ee)
 

I've been thinking about this especially as tariffs are set to make non-plastic even more expensive, and we're going to see EVEN MORE products that traditionally were glass/aluminum become plastic...Not just from an 'ecowarrior' thing but micro/nanoplastic pollution, what are your tips to avoid plastic packages as it seems increasingly the 'only' option for so many products now... even 75% of veggies at my local super are plastic wrapped with no alternative!!! Yes, I use the bulk section... what other tips/hacks do you have, if any?
