- Have Nvidia card
- Change the driver to see if I can fix a weird graphical issue I was having.
- Rebooted computer and got stuck in boot loop because there was an error with the driver.
Yeah I know. Still have to pay for license though unless you like having the activate windows watermark in the corner.
I switched to Linux a few months ago after building a new computer as I didn’t feel like paying over $100 for an OS that has ads in the start menu and spammy popups.
Almost all of my games work fine and don’t have any issues with lag. The exception is GTA V which doesn’t work at all and Sims 4 which works fine but EA’s launcher has given me a few issues.
You shouldn’t have any issues with document editing or web browsing. In my experience printing actually works better on Linux than it did for me on Windows.
If you want you could dual boot or keep an old windows system around to play games that aren’t working on Linux, but in my experience, most games, especially indie games, work just fine on Linux.
I don’t use it because it makes blender run at like 5 fps for some reason.
Went there just now and did not get a pop up. Firefox does not detect any trackers.
I’m currently using Kubuntu, although I’m planning on switching to Debian or maybe NixOS at some point. Kubuntu works, but I don’t like snaps, and even though I’ve removed them I’d rather just not ever have to deal with them.
I first started with Mint, but didn’t like gnome/cinnamon which is why I switched to Kubuntu, but other than that it was fine.
