It's only a general rule. In my experience, Nvidia has kinda been all over the place on how Linux-friendly they are. Do a couple searches on the exact card you have, you might be lucky.

I hope you have fun with finding what works best for you and your hardware!

I think LFS means you also need to build the stove.

MintLinux and Pop!OS are normally the two front-runners for new users. Basically, if you use Steam and you don't play online-only games with bad implementations of anti-cheat software, you are good to game on either.

Make a USB that you can "live boot" from, so you can test out how they work with your hardware before you actually install the OS. Generally speaking, Mint works better with AMD, and Pop! works better with Nvidia.

Here’s the official basic guide for Mint:

And here’s the official basic guide for Pop!:

Arch is like making your own cookies, starting from growing the wheat.

Mint and Pop! are like buying Oreos.

I'm done threshing in my life, never again.

I love in the land where jacked-up coal-rolling pavement princesses are collaged in fuck Justin, pro convoy, and anti-vax decals.

I think there isn't a danger from the people turn in their guns, but I would not be surprised if someone decided that the feds can't have their gun, but can have some bullets.

Which is still probably a much lower risk that just getting jacked.

No, no one I know wants to hop on a bike and share the same lane as a semi truck or teenager ~~in a lifted truck texting on a phone.~~ intentially driving dangerously so they can roll coal because they need to feel "an alpha".

Based on this image, I just assumed that they didn't.

That jug is 160 units for $50. $0.31 per unit is a little low.

Most provinces have a minimum price for booze, that would be a good start

Something like Smirnoff is about $30.00 for a 750ml bottle most places in Canada.

Alberta doesn't really get involved in alcohol the same way that provinces that care about their population does.

Not being able to change keybinding wasn't acceptable 20 years ago, it still isn't.

https://thoughtbot.com/blog/the-magic-behind-configure-make-make-install

The configure script is responsible for getting ready to build the software on your specific system. It makes sure all of the dependencies for the rest of the build and install process are available, and finds out whatever it needs to know to use those dependencies.

If you or don't program, or you install programs through a Software Manager or use Flatpacks, this isn't really a part of your life.
