Phanlix, (edited )

so I decided to try linux. After reading a bit I decided that Fedora sounded like the distro for me with the top ‘spin’.

Black screen. Not Nvidea compatible out of the box. Booted into ‘basic graphics’. Looks like total ass on 800x600. Tried to follow a tutorial to get it running, but it didn’t want to make changes to the USB version and wanted me to full boot. I didn’t want to full wipe my windows just yet, but we’re getting there. Found a tutorial about using some semi-auto process to do it, so wish me luck.

I bet this goes like last time though, given that I already can’t even run Linux out of the goddamn box on what is one of the most popular graphics card series ever. I bet I get frustrated trying to make half my shit work like an xbox controller because nothing, and I repeat nothing on this trash OS works without some level of headache.

For giggles I tried nobara linux which bills itself as a fully configured gaming version of fedora. Unsurprisingly it had a kernel error when booting from USB off the rip lol.

“Few and far issues between” = completely doesn’t work at all on the what is arguably the top linux distro today, sounds about right.
