      Same for me on Windows. I switched to Linux and now everything runs fine and the few issues I have are ones I can fix.

      I guess that’s just how things go huh?

      This was literally me a year ago or so. I installed Mandjaro on my gaming laptop. We decided to try V Rising and even though discord was working fine I had zero game audio and couldn’t fix it. I was still dual booting and switched back to Windows after 10 minutes.

      Not a Linux hater. In all fairness, my long time experience with Windows allows me to troubleshoot problems easily but my lack of experience with Linux, and the variety of distros and tools that might be installed with each, makes the switch hard.

      I’m going to try again with a more mainstream distro on a desktop that doesn’t have a weird AMD/Nvidia mix and the need to deal with a MUX switch.

        I can recommend bazzite. It has been amazing so far regarding stability and performance as a platform for mainly steam and proton games.

      just after that you could actually install onto a rando laptop and have pretty much everything working. I remember because a guy did that and at the time we were like woa. this is very good.

        I was running Gentoo at the time and tried Ubuntu. Completely different on many levels of course but x just worked and synaptics. Which was weirdly the most Impressive thing.

    Bro, what’s your beef with Linux, let people use the OS they want and move on with your life.

          That’s what’s beautiful about this community and its solohero poster. This person knows Linux way to well to not be a Linux user for many years. But the memes are all very outdated or ignorant on a factual basis. The ambiguity is maintained, post after post. I find this magical ✨
