LongboardingLad

I am running a System76 Oryx Pro with a Nvidia Optimus(hybrid GPU) chip set and an Intel CPU. I would be lying if I said there were no problems but things have been incredibly stable on the latest drivers. I am not on an Arch based Distro so I can't speak to that, but most issues I have had have been solved with a bit of tinkering.

Cool to see that shitting on addicts isn't just a shitty American thing. We aren't as different as I thought!

Good on him for walking it back, but you have friends that are LGBT and you still felt comfortable saying that stuff? Snoop can get his bag elsewhere because I won't support him again

"Secured" by Oracle.

I did not read the article. I was curious why and how forehead tewth are an evolutionary advantage but I am okay with not knowing. That's enough internet for next week

In short, no. Linux can be adversarial, finicky, and sometimes just plain bullshit. That's the price of device freedom though. Can't speak for anyone else, but it does get easier the longer you stick with it though.

This was the push I needed to get off Windows completely. Some update broke Bluetooth connectivity. It's penguins all the way down for me now.

Love Mint. I have LMDE on my archival machine. It's good stuf

POP_OS runs great and it's my primary OS on my System76 machine. My issue seems to be more to do with Nvidia Drivers. Nothing that's a deal breaker, but the Machine Spirit needs appeasement on occasion. I'm actually really excited for COSMIC to be released.

On my Asus machine, I'm just tired of Windows and want to familiarize myself with more of the Linux environment. It's maybe 2 or 3 years old at this point

I might check out Fedora. Is switching between the iGPU and dGPU relatively straightforward?

Thanks for the recommendations! Bazzite seems like a good fit for this machine's use case.

Thanks for your thoughts. My experience with Arch has been weird. I can get everything mostly working, but sound has always been an issue on my current hardware. Black Arch was fun to mess around with because I didn't necessarily care if sound output was borked. I will look into cachyOS and spin up a VM. Thank you friend!
