I’d wanted to jump to Linux since the 90s, but it was never quite there for me, plus my day jerb requires me to be on Windows. I finally started ripping the band-aid off a couple years ago and it’s been amazing. I received a private message in response to a long-running issue I was having with my dGPU, and that person absolutely got me squared away by suggesting I give Aurora Linux a try for use cases.
Win10 at some point stopped recognizing my beloved FiiO E10 USB headphone amp despite it supposedly being class-compliant. Nothing I did could get any Windows machine to recognize it. Today, I found that amp in a drawer. I plugged it into one of my Aurora Linux machines, and the OS immediately recognized it. Works great and gave me back the headphone sound that I know and love.
So thank you all, for this community, for your contributions, for paying forward the Linux love. Have a great day all.
You know what, I double that sentiment. The Linux community definitely helped me make the switch too, even if not by DMs.
I still have issues with an Nvidia card computer I own, but all my other machines work just fine and I simply like it more. I’m sure my card will come around sooner or later anyway.
who doesn’t? lol
i intentionally avoided nvidia this time around because of my experiences w it in the past.
My GTX 970 has always worked on Linux Mint, even when it was only a year old
nvidia support has definately gotten better and the first part of my comment was snark; it’s ignorable… like most of what i say. lol
Oddly, not a single problem on my 2070 system but I think age helps Linux get stable. Older the hardware, the better open source works.
very true and i would have been better insulated by purchasing older hardware, but buying electronics second hand has always made me regret it.
