    Exactly this. Imagine if gas powered motor could recharge in mere 12 hours and run for up to half the distance. Ah, that would be the dream.

    And if you and 5 of your neighbors decide to refuel at the same time during peak hours you have a real chance of overloading your neighborhood grid. And your fuel tank is dead in 5 years, replacing which is more than half of your used cars cost.

    Everything non-portable uses electric motors from the time the first wire was invented.






  • I had laptop with descrete Nvidia graphics card and had no trouble with most of the distros i tried. Theh either offer inbuilt driver app, which let’s you choose which driver to use or you google it and follow an uncomplicated guide.

    That being said, i always recommend dual booting at first, something might go wrong with your first installation or you just forgot that you had something important on windows. If it’s a desktop, i recommend getting and extra ssd. Which you will use for linux (for now). Later it’s always convenient to have extra storage. They are not too expensive anymore. You can have your linux playground, where you can test distros and see how they actually work on your machine and you can revert to windows in the meantime.
