dukk,

Seems to be the same person too!

dukk,

Second this. System76 themselves sell multiple machines with Nvidia cards, so they have at least some incentive to make it work.

I see Fedora recommended quite a bit, but setting it up on my younger family member’s laptop was bot exactly simple, and setting up his game library proved near impossible.

PopOS just worked. I try not to be too pushy about Linux, but as someone who was pushed into (and now loves) using Linux, I’d suggest giving it one more shot. (I still dual-boot: keep a small Windows partition for the occasional need).

dukk,

I don’t tend to recommend Ubuntu anymore: mainly because of snaps.

I had a weird start with Linux, using it on my Pi and then eventually just installing NixOS as my first distro. A weird first choice, but honestly it makes even advanced tasks trivial(I can switch my WM/DE in one line!)

dukk,

I think OP(original commenter?) mentioned they tried Nobara, but it wouldn’t even boot.

My consistent recommendation to Linux newcomers is PopOS, it’s a simple, great distros that can be powerful when needed.

(I myself use Nix btw)

dukk,

It’s real.

dukk,

Alpine Linux exists. But yeah, most of these projects pretty much do the same thing as their GNU counterparts, just outside the license.

Go figure.

dukk,

Personally prefer :xprobably because it’s a little more ergonomic, as Z is all the way in the corner (QWERTY), and is the same key twice, while : and x are in two different spots, and can therefore be hit faster.

I know, it’s like millisecond differences, but, hey, I’m a vim user.

dukk,

Used Wayland, tried Hyprland. Was cool, somewhat buggy.

Switched to XMonad. No more issues.

Wayland is probably the future, but I just want something that works now.

Lemmy natively doesn’t support Reddit-style spoilers. It may be a feature in some apps, but consider using the native Lemmy ::: spoiler tag.

(Doesn’t make much of a difference here, just letting you know for the future.)

dukk,

NixOS isn’t a tank, it’s a tank building machine!

dukk,

laughs harder in nushell

dukk,

I guess he’s interpreting it as “oneth”, in which are “You” would be the first element.

I like that, so I’ll believe it.

dukk,

I laughed. Well done.

dukk,

Watch out for the bleeding edge.

dukk,

Actually, they could probably collect a pretty substantial amount of data on you from just analyzing your garbage.
