I don’t know what a “fossbro” is. Me questioning it has nothing to do with a word being “gendered” as you say. It could be “fossthey” “fosssis” or whatever variation, I don’t care. And I don’t believe the person who used the term “fossbro” was talking about gender either. “Bro” is used as a genderless word often times similarly to “dude” or even in some cases “man.” Why you trolling? And bad at it at that.

Please define “fossbro” I have never heard anyone use that before

It’s a driver issue.

A quick search will tell you that.

The issues you’re having are due to you not looking into manuals, or guides, or documentation.

Mint is usable put of the box.

The old addage: RTFM

Lol

And you’re missing the point: do your own research

Why do you need SecureBoot?

By not doing proper research. And “everyone” is a stretch. Had I been involves in suggesting a distro I would have asked what hardware they had.

Nvidia isn’t responsible for the other issues you have… Did you do any research about your hardware and Linux compatibility?

Bluetooth will be whatever wireless chipset you’re using likely.

And Bluetooth devices count as hardware. You bitched about that too.

I wasn’t trying to help lol. You acting out and throwing a tantrum dictated how I responded.

Nvidia isn’t supported well on Linux*. A touch of Google fu would have told you that.

Research before going with a distro helps. Like why didn’t you look into compatability for your hardware first? That would have given you ideas as to what issues you may face.

The issues you are having many others don’t. You getting angry at people who have commented is comical. Like relax dude.

Just because your setup didn’t work as you expected “out of the box” doesn’t mean that’s the case 100% of the time.

Linux is great for a daily driver. Use whatever tools you want. Just stop bitching. Are a kid? Because your behavior points that direction.

The Linux community is generally helpful, and if you don’t work with the folks trying to help, you won’t make any progress.

Calm down.

I am running Arch with KDE and Wayland on my system with an i7-12700KF and an EVGA 3090 FTW and I can’t say it has been “flawless”

Once I setup Arch on it with the proper configuration, and using the Proprietary drivers, I can game on it and everything else I need to do.

If I had a do over, I would have gone all AMD but when I built this PC I was on Windows. But never again.

I kept saying once upon a time"I’ll make the switch to Linux but X doesn’t work, so not yet. "

I dual booted for a while. That “a while” ended when Windows ate GRUB.

I had enough. I decided enough was enough. I kept windows on one SSD, just in case I wanted to go back. That didn’t last long, I wiped that drive, and formatted it to BTRFS. Now none of my drives are NTFS.

For the one case I “need” Windows, I spun up a VM (and configured USB passthrough) for Windows. That is for a guitar pedal and amp that I need Windows for updates. But I don’t remember the last time I booted up that VM.

For music recording and production I installed Reaper for Linux natively, but that was an easy transition considering Reaper was what i used in Windows. Sure VSTs were a big concern for me, so I investigated VST bridge type software. And I can’t recall the ones I investigated. But this is where I am at on my journey.

I don’t care how “easy” it is to just stay the same and keep using Windows, it isn’t for me. I don’t agree with their data collection policies. I don’t agree with the “black box” mentality. I want to know what is happening on my system. I want to understand what I am using. And at a certain point with Windows, I just don’t have the ability, tools, or inside scoop to fully learn that.

With Linux, the journey may have taken time, effort, and willingness to troubleshoot and learn but it ultimately is a better experience.

There have been very few games I couldn’t get working on my system, but those games aren’t enough to sell out my ideals. I will never go back.

I would rather be a farmer.

I run Arch on both my PC and Laptop. I self host a few containers to stream media from. Either use web front end, or native apps.

I both have a job, and maintain all of this. For fun.

Laptop, or a mini PC

I don’t connect my Roku TV to the internet, and always use external devi e via HDMI.

I tried using Bazzite since I didn’t want to fuss with Wayland on Nvidia with Arch.

I had more gripes and more issues with an immutable distro than I ever did with my Arch install.

Stuck it out with Arch. It has taught me a lot.

The problem many folks have with Arch is the fact they don’t want to read or learn; well, newsflash, if you read and learn Arch isn’t exactly all that hard to use, setup, or maintain. It has better documentation than Bazzite and other newer distros. In fact, Arch Wiki has saved me hassle for other distros.

Your mileage may vary. However, I wouldn’t recommend an immutable distribution nec3ssarily to someone coming from Windows unless they want to shift from one paradigm to another.

Switching from Windows to something with such a vastly different approach in many cases will turn users away from using Linux. Their experience can dictate they switch away because of lack of knowledge and then proced to conflate every distro as just one “Linux” experience and not want to look back at it.

I still stand by one thing you will always hear me say: use the right tool for the job.

I will always recommend people to research their choice of distro. Use the right tool for the job.

What one person needs may differ from what another person needs. Take into account what the use case is for the machine you are using.

I use Arch BTW but I don’t run Arch for any of my servers. I use Arch where it makes sense for me.

I wouldn’t tell someone switching from Windows to just go balls to the wall and go for something blerding edge and arguably more maintenance or manual intervention needed.

I will give my suggestions but always implore them to research what theyt3 looking for.

Begrudgingly 2 of the 3 are Google email addresses, and 1 is a Microsoft email address. I will however be ditching both of those providers for something a bit more privacy focused soon and making those addresses burner addresses.

I want to investigate it. I know it works well on my laptop, which the big difference in the 2 is that one is an Nvidia GPU and the other an Intel Integrated. So it could be video related. Who knows.

Thank you all the same!
