Removing all the popups at work about scheduled updates, news, ads in a workplace with 8 desktops and zero people who speak English is my favourite past time. Thanks Microsoft.
Also that post prompted me to remove windows from all my devices that still run it. Not that I didn't think of it yesterday.
I'm familiar with debian-based Linux distros and run Xubuntu on my travel laptop. It occasionally freezes and needs a forced reboot but otherwise runs ok. Any suggestions on what to install on this more powerful one? I use it for gaming but play older games.
Someone mentioned EndeavourOS. Really enjoy it for sure but it's still Arch at heart for better and worse. You can follow a simple guide to install it with BTRFS and get system snapshots though! :)
On my main 3D art rig I'm using OpenSUSE Tumbleweed for years and loving it. Great sane security defaults, up to date packages, but they go through a bit of testing so for a rolling release it's shockingly stable. I actually quite enjoy Zypper.
If something borks? A rollback option is right there in GRUB.
Steam works just fine and I'd also recommend (on any distro) Heroic Launcher for your non-Steam stuff. Especially since GoG seems to not care much about us penguin people much at all. -_-
If you use KDE, both distros are going through some minor growing pains with Wayland at the moment, but it's getting much better very quickly. X11 is still an option, of course.
I run Endeavour on my laptop and OpenSUSE on my desktop...and......you might wanna be sitting down for this:
...Both have Nvidia.
It could be better but it's a million times better than it used to be! Installs straight from repo. Only little issues I really have are Wayland-related.
I really enjoy Linux Mint and it is what I have been using for a while. Maybe give that a try if you have not already? If you want something with more up to date features and packages, maybe try Fedora. I have not really used it personally, but I am thinking of giving it a spin on one of my machines and seeing if I like it.
I used linux mint long ago. My biggest worry about a linux system is my Nvidia card.
I recently put endeavouros on my laptop. Taking a bit to unlearn apt but it's been running flawless with Nvidia so far. PopOS also supposedly just works with Nvidia as well.
So, it runs at least as well as Windows?
Pop-Os is a good fit if you're already familiar with Debian & do light gaming - especially on NVIDIA cards. It just works.
I backed up my data and downloaded the iso before going to work, once I get home I'll give it a shot.
I just want my computer to do what it's told. Putting it to sleep and turning the mouse off doesn't mean it should wake up, download and apply updates and remain awake only for me to find the search bar appeared again and a big red dot telling me what the former orange president of a country one continent and an ocean away said about something.
