- | To be fair, it is not what I expected. It is also a “gaming distro” without any games installed. It did, however, have unnecessary services running by default. I could turn them off, sure, but that means it is not fully optimized for gaming, I have to optimize it. The secret sauce in the distribution comes from the PikaOS Hub. Think of it as a welcome screen for gamers. I would have liked to see Oibaf make the list, but it did not. A tuned Kernel (Xanmod) is responsible for some of the niceties, making it as sleek as possible, but there is *some waste – maybe only ship it with five fonts, for instance, and lose wacom and print manager daemons?

+ | Présentation : « PikaOS est une distribution Linux centrée sur le jeu, dont l’objectif est la convivialité et une grande compatibilité. Avec le savoir faire de Nobara associé à une base [sic] d’Ubuntu, PikaOS est presque inégalé dans la compatibilité de logiciels. Notre dépôt est également extrêmement rapide, globalement grâce au CDN de Cloudflare. Ce sont eux aussi qui alimentent nos miroirs ISO globaux et notre page de statut. » | ||

I feel audio is overlooked here, These are places that Windows still leads the way. Other than my gaming drivers, I need audio control and fan control in Linux. | I feel audio is overlooked here, These are places that Windows still leads the way.

- | From what I have told you so far, I hope you picked up on the sway, almost like a cyclist weaving through traffic. Positive, negative, positive, negative, and to be fair, some problems are Linux in general. I tried the distro on a Dell XPS 9720 and 9520, and while they are not “gaming” machines, the 3050ti graphics card puts up a good show (until it gets hot and the fans take too long to ramp up). As you can see by my latest screenshot, I have been running it for a while, and it certainly has gotten better in leaps and bounds. The 17-inch laptop seems to take everything harder, and I am not sure why. On the 15-inch, sound plays in live mode, but not on the 17-inch. The 15-inch has smooth mouse movements, while the 17-inch has jerks and so forth. Both laptops were new and unused before this, so I’m not sure if it is a hardware issue. I installed vanilla Ubuntu and updated the firmware, but there was no change. | + | Pour être juste, ce n’est pas ce à quoi je m’attendais. Il s’agit aussi d’une « distro pour jeux » sans jeu installé. Cependant, elle avait des services inutiles qui s’exécutaient par défaut. Bien entendu, je pouvais les arrêter, mais cela signifie qu’elle n’est pas complètement optimisée pour les jeux. C'est moi qui dois l’optimiser. La sauce secrète de la distribution vient du Hub PikaOS. Pensez-y comme à un écran d’accueil pour les joueurs. J’aurais voulu voir Oibaf en faire la liste, mais il ne l’a pas fait. Un noyau ajusté [Xanmod] fournit certaines des bonnes choses, rendant la distribution aussi élégante que possible, mais il y a du gaspillage – ils devraient peut-être la livrer avec seulement cinq polices, par exemple, et perdre wacom et les démons de gestion de l’impression ? |
- | You have the option of using either X11 or Wayland, but I suspect Wayland is the better one for modern gaming, while X11 is fine for retro gaming. The default is X11. | + | J’ai l’impression que l’audio est négligé ici. Ce sont des endroits où Windows ouvre la voie. Outre mes pilotes de jeu, j’ai besoin du contrôle audio et du contrôle du ventilo sous Linux. |

+ | **If I compare apples with apples, I can clearly see there has been work done. Running the same game on Linux Lite 6.2 and PikaOS, things already run smoother even on the simpler games. The first few games I ran, ran so nice, I wondered if it was better than on Windows 10 / 11. A game I previously could run on Vulkan on Windows did not want to any more, so I could not tell, but I suspect it ran better. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Though I missed things like Lutris out of the box, nothing was difficult to install, as it is all provided via the PikaOS Hub.** | ||

+ | |||
+ | Si je compare des pommes avec des pommes, je peux voir clairement qu’ils ont travaillé dessus. En faisant tourner le même jeu sur Linux Lite 6.2 et PikaOS, ça tourne déjà plus fluidement même sur les jeux plus simples. Les quelques premiers jeux que j’ai lancés, s’exécutaient si bien que je me demandais si c’était meilleur que même sur Windows 10/11. Un jeu que j’avais exécuté sur Vulkan sous Windows ne voulait plus se lancer et je ne pouvais donc faire une comparaison, | ||

+ | Juste pour rire, je l’ai lancé dans VirtualBox et il m’a étonné. Cette fois-là, je l’ai comparé à KDE Neon, pour que l’environnement de bureau reste le même. Je m’attendais à ce qu’aucun jeu ne s’exécute. Mais en fait, sur KDE Neon, les jeux étaient paginés, au lieu de défiler. Dans PikaOS, je pouvais toujours jouer en fait. Mais je ne voudrais pas susciter de faux espoirs. Il y avait des sections où l’affichage était saccadé, mais j’ai joué sans avoir l’impression d’être dans une VM, plutôt sur du matériel vieillissant. Chained Echoes n’est pas le jeu le plus exigeant, mais je l’ai choisi parce qu’il y a plein de défilement horizontal et vertical. Honnêtement, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Sans aucun doute, il y a de la magie en arrière-plan ici et ma première impression de l’OS était tellement erronée que j’ai refait tout l’article. Ce qui est bizarre est que, d’après la page sur Github, rien n’a changé depuis des mois ; alors s’agit-il d' | ||

- | Unlike Vanilla Ubuntu, PikaOS prefers Flatpaks over Snaps, which is preinstalled and ready to roll. I’m still running the version with the mintupdate (broken as all heck), which has been fixed in the meantime, but requires a reinstall on my part. | + | Il est important de noter que PikaOS n’est ni une saveur d’Ubuntu, ni un projet fini. Il s’agit vraiment d’un travail en cours. Si j’étais vous, je garderais un œil dessus. Je m’attends vraiment à de très grandes choses. |

+ | Je n’aime pas le gaspillage et il me donnait l’impression d’être du gaspillage quand je l’ai mis à jour. Mes portables de test ont des cartes graphiques Nvidia, mais, en me servant du logiciel de mise à jour fourni, je vois des pilotes et du firmware AMD en train de télécharger. Alors que, à mon avis, ce n’est pas un problème pour la plupart des gens, j’aimerais voir quelque chose qui vous permet de supprimer les trucs inutiles. Il faut vous rappeler qu’il s’agit en principe d’une distribution centrée sur les joueurs et vous voulez le minimum minimorum. | ||

The only part that has not changed, and I’m keeping from my original article, is that it includes APX. This puzzles me. From the latest updates, you may note: “Added more containers to apx“, and I can only ask why? Is it because of the VanillaOS fork? These guys are on a good path, they should avoid boaty mcboatface (if you know, you know). | The only part that has not changed, and I’m keeping from my original article, is that it includes APX.

+ | Contrairement à l’Ubuntu ordinaire, PikaOS préfère des Flatpaks aux Snaps, et c'est préinstallé et prêt à utiliser. Je fais toujours tourner la version avec la mise à jour de mint (cassée de chez cassée), qui a été réparée entre temps, mais nécessite une réinstallation. | ||
+ | |||
+ | La seule partie de l’article d’origine qui n’a pas changé et que je garde est que PikaOS comprend APX. Cela me rend perplexe. À partir des récentes mises à jour, vous pourrez noter : « Plus de conteneurs ont été ajouté à apx » et je ne peux que demander pourquoi ? Est-ce à cause du fork VanillaOS ? | ||
