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.

    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.
