  • Have you decided on Mint yet? If not, the Bazzite distro will be easy to use. All you need to do is download the Nvidia image and install it. It will work right away. Steam and the Nvidia drivers are already installed and configured. No configuration is needed.



  • Unfortunately, System76 hasn’t shared any specific details or an official timeline yet. But don’t worry—we’ll be among the first to let you know as soon as there’s news, so keep an eye out for updates.

    It’s better not to have a definite timeline and to release it when it’s ready. First impressions are key because this will be System76’s main distro for their computers.





  • All it takes is momentum. It’s a chicken-and-egg problem, and I think it’s gaining momentum because of Valve. Gaming was always the one thing stopping people from checking out Linux.

    Now, however, more and more people are trying it out. More tech YouTubers are trying Linux, which means more exposure. Distros are becoming more refined. KDE is much better than it used to be because of Valve. All in all, there’s true momentum building.

    In due time, Linux will be preinstalled on computers and laptops, and because of this, more people will contribute to Linux. People are fed up with the bloat and heavy AI push of Windows 11.

    My brother or sister, invest in index funds, not the stock market. And then forget about it for 30 years or more until you retire. And then, if you invest in index funds, there will be ups and downs.

    The trick is to stay the course because it has been proven that the price will always go up from when you started investing. And then, in 30 years or more, you will have a substantial amount of money for retirement.
