I have heard good things about nobara. I don't mind doing a little thinkering to have things work but I also don't want to spend hours doing recharch on how to fix things.

Edit: thanks for giving input everyone. I will try Linux mint and if it does not go well will give nobara a go instead.

Edit part two I had to boot mint in compatibility mode because I got black screen for like 15+ minutes and then I couldn't get it to see more than one monitor and 3 hours later gave up....Just put on nobara will load mint to my laptop and try to learn more because I want to but also tryna game :) you will hear more from me

Won't I have to install Nvidia drivers? This is my big concern if I'm being frank (I have a Nvidia card)

[-] unreliable@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 8 months ago

Yes, nvidia can be a bit of pain. Normally you a install proprietary drivers and it works, not always. AMD just works.

[-] png@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 8 months ago

AMD "just works" unless you dare expect hardware encoding that you explicitly picked your card based on to work properly

[-] unreliable@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 8 months ago

Well, that sounds better than be unable to login because kernel unattended update breaks nvidia drivers.

Depends, unless you wanted to record/stream in higher-than-toaster quality until a month ago

[-] unreliable@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 8 months ago

The lucky mostly of people don't. I personally have any issues.

True, everything else runs great
