I’ll second Pop!_OS! Been using it as a daily driver since 2022 and have had a painless gaming experience the past year or so using lutris (league) and steam.

I use an Amd cpu and a nvidia gpu, if that helps at all.

What are people daily driving these days? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Pop!_OS on my desktop and laptop since 2020.

The 61W battery helps a bit. If I'm compiling binaries locally all day, it certainly tanks.

I think the fix for the phantom drain came with the newest refresh (gen 3); I don't notice a rapid drain when I sleep mine, though because I use the 'deep sleep' workaround.

I have been using a Framework 13 (12th gen intel) since April and I love it. The only complaint is the battery life (5-8 hours of software development with JetBrains IDEs), but in terms of hardware performance, it's fantastic.

I have an apartment where the dumpster is a car's drive away, and taking trash down involves 4 staircases. What is the best way to ameliorate this situation? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Making more frequent, smaller trips might make it less of a pain? Maybe stop by the dumpster if it's on the way to/from a daily route you need to take?
