First of all, if youāll be using Bazzite, then become familiar with its documentation. Other sources may not necessarily translate that well to Bazzite due to Fedora, Atomic, OCI and SELinux (to name a few). Though, some other sources may benefit you as long as it doesnāt contradict with Bazziteās own documentation.
so, what are your tips and tricks for a new linux user?
Bazzite is on Fedora Atomicās model, hence you should become familiar with the built-in rollback mechanism. Furthermore, itās possible to keep deployments around. Therefore, if anything, consider utilizing this on your first deployment; just in case.
Pinning said deployment is possible with the sudo ostree admin pin <insert number> command after installation. The number can be deduced through the rpm-ostree status command. The first deploymentās corresponding number is 0 and for each deployment found below you just have to increase the number by one to find its corresponding number. So, the 4th deployment corresponds to the number 3. Btw, you can pin multiple deployments. So thereās no opportunity cost involved. Finally, you can unpin a deployment with -u. So sudo ostree admin pin -u <insert number>
as a final question, what got you into using linux over windows or mac?
I was never a mac user in the first place. As for Windows, a hardware failure was causing more issue on it than on Linux. So that was the direct cause. But the reason I got interested into Linux initially and what has kept my interest are privacy and freedom respectively.
hey, sorry this is coming late! thank you for this. I was already looking at their documentation (I have a few times, as well as read their discourse forum) and joined their discord in preparation.
I think this is a super good tip because I have been trying to parse what all Iād need to get familiar with before I touch anything install wise. I knew about the pinning a deployment thing, but I didnāt fully understand how, so thank you for laying it out for me!
Donāt follow tutorials, understand them. Iām so tired of seeing useless uses of cat because some asshole writing a tutorial 20 years ago decided to illustrate how pipes work with a good ol cat file | grep string as if grep didnāt take a file name as an argument.
The more time I spend being mad about this the more I notice people using horrible practices in tutorials because theyāre too lazy to setup a legit use case.
A new user sees this and thinks this is how grep works.
Loops are another common one. People going around not knowing you can pass a glob to a shell for loop. Because the tutorial they read was lazily written and they didnāt bother to understand the bits of what they were being shown, only how to reproduce/mangle the command until they manage to get close enough to what they want out of it.
Iām absolutely going to do my best to understand and not copy/paste without doing that. I donāt like doing things to my computer that I donāt know what is happening, so that makes sense to me! I already ran into that issue plenty of times with my servers, so Iām trying to go all in now.
For new Linux users a good start would be YouTube vids
after that Iād personally recommend the Arch Linux Wiki as itās a well regarded and well known encyclopedia for anything youād need/want to know about most Linux related things
beyond the Arch Linux wiki, youād probably be looking at the Linux kernel documentation or Gentooās docs/wiki
Solutions found on either of these wikis may work perfectly fine on other distros, but itās not a guarantee. āSeasonedā users should be able to distinguish this.
Voyager developer @aeharding is unbelievable. What an engineer. Dat UX š¤¤ (no shade but will say) srsly hard to use the default interface from web when youāve experienced e.g. Voyager iOS.
āSpace Babiesā was a classic RTD dumpster fire. It felt like a first draft and the exposition dump at the beginning was very badly done. The script editor should have pushed back hard on this one.
āThe Devilās Chordā was better although hamstrung by the fact that they couldnāt afford the rights to any Beatles music.
Ncuti and Millie have quickly established themselves and Iām looking forward to seeing what the rest of the season brings.
So far, itās better than all of the Whittaker run and probably 1/2 of Capaldi.
Only 2 real complaints:
Did he really need to say āSpace Babiesā every few minutes? Seemed excessive.
Is it wise casting a drag queen as a villain given all the anti-drag queen sentiment? I know, I get it, maybe itās not as bad in the UK as it is here, but do we need to further demonize drag queens?
+1 noteā¦ LOLā¦
I was convinced the lost chord was going to be the mystery chord that opens A Hard Dayās Night.
Is it wise casting a drag queen as a villain given all the anti-drag queen sentiment?
Gosh, what a loaded question! I think it ultimately boils down to a question of representation - these things shouldnāt be a problem in isolation, but they can be a problem if itās part of a greater pattern. It does sound like Davies is intent on weaving queerness throughout all aspects of this series, so that will probably make a difference.

I had the legendary chord from āA Day in the Lifeā in mind, which of course isnāt really possible on a single piano (at least, not to its full effect).
I could not get into the baby episode. The talking babies just put me off. Might have been scarier than the actual monster.
But the devilās cord was better. Great concept. Good mix of fun and serious and a nice follow up to the toy maker. I didnāt feel it really made the most use of the beatles though, the maestro could have been in any time period with any musician. I was pleasantly surprised by the twist at the end.
RTD likes his recurring threads, so I guess the pantheon is going to anchor this series. So far weāve had masters (gods?) of toys and music. What next - the different parts of what makes being human? Love? Food? And how does Ruby fit into it.
So far ncuti and millie are fitting in well. A bit different, bringing their own flair, but still capturing the right feel.
It does seem that RTD is going harder into serialization this time around - the Ruby story reminds me a lot of Claraās tenure with Eleven (which wasnāt the best, but what can you do?).
All right, itās hard to make the case that this one was less silly than āSpace Babies,ā but I enjoyed this one more, largely on the strength of Jinkx Monssonās delightfully unhinged performance as Maestro, and the fact that I love The Beatles (not that they get a lot to do).
This is one of those high-concept episodes built around an interesting premise (āthe world would end if there was no musicā) that DW often does really well. I think in this case, they could have done a little more to show the lives of the people in this music-free world, but it worked well enough.
Having Lennon/McCartney finish the Maestro off with the lost chord was blindingly obvious, and extremely perfect.
Iāve got to say, Chris Mason did an amazing job capturing John Lennonās mannerisms while singing. I happened to watch āLet It Beā the other day, and the guy did his homework. Pour one out for George and Ringo, though - they really didnāt get anything to do.
