I guess there’s difference with the gpu model too, because for me it has been the opposite: mint works without issues and fedora has been a nightmare, especially the kde spin one. last time it killed itself afrer the first updates. nobara was almost perfect but I could never figure out why it can’t turn the monitor back on after it has turned off.

in the beginning I dual booted too and windows did cause some strange issues, but they disappeared when I disabled fast boot from somewhere in windows settings.

also I distrohop every now and then, and a I had trouble installing nvidia drivers a few times. on distros that earlier had no trouble at all with it. bluetooth works great on my pc, which was a pleasant surprise. I don’t own a controller, but I heard that PS4 controllers work best.

all of your existing hardware may not be supported, but in the future you may want to search and check if the peripheral or component you are buying will play nice with linux if you want to move in that direction.

didn’t know this. is it no good then? does it have the HDMI 2.1 driver missing from the open source driver?

I can’t write in cursive, but even I can write better cursive than that, with my foot.

wine works without issues for me on mint 22.1. I use foobar2k, and most games I play are windose only. but I use proton for games, not wine.

I think when systend goes into systemv, a systemb is born almost a year later

not really an option for many ppl with useful features missing like satellite image, street view, public transport

there will be an option to turn it off, so no worries

mac has over 16% though, we still aren’t even close
