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

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!

 

Hello All.

First, I have been daily driving Linux(POP_OS) for nearly a year and outside of some frustrations, it has been a great experience. I expect a certain level of weirdness and quirks. I was using my Windows laptop to get some stuff done, and wanted to listen to some music over Bluetooth. This is where I messed up. I guess recent Windows updates just kind of break Bluetooth?? Every fix I have googled and tried failed to fix the problem. I kind of expect this behavior from Linux. I don't expect it from an OS developed by a For Profit company.

Long story short, recommend me a distro that runs well on an Asus laptop with an Integrated and Discreet GPU. If Windows breaks functionality, then there isn't a big reason to keep a Windows Machine around. If you say Arch, I intend to bully you but I'm open to any suggestions. Microsoft isn't worth keeping around, even as a backup/standby.

I appreciate you <3

Quick Edit: This received a lot more engagement than I thought. Thank you all for the recommendations. I'll spin up some VM's and test them out. Thank you all for the guidance. May your day/night/other be most excellent!

I hate the phrase, "full blown melted toblerone". Thanks for sharing 🤣

No I do not want that.
