For what it's worth I recommend linux mint. There is a gui for graphics driver installs. You click the yes please button and you're done 😊
You know what, I will look at it again. I seem to have a problems every time I move away from Debian, and I have been rocking MX Linux for awhile, and as great as it is, it cannot support everything that has moved on to SystemD. Also, as comfortable as I am with XFCE, I don't really like it... BUT I hate KDE so anything else is better.
Yeah, if I can't work out my problems with openSuse, I probably won't have better luck with Fedora. So, back to Debian!
I spent an entire weekend troubleshooting nvidia drivers on raw debian, specifically mint has really good driver support.
You are special and I love you.
You were not exaggerating, Linux Mint is MAGIC!. Everything about this distro is so clean and well put together. Cinnamon is everything I wanted out of XFCE.
I cannot believe I slept on this because I dismissed anything associated with Ubuntu. I have been so stupid. I have wasted so much time, and haven't even really gamed on my new computer.
I finally feel like I can commit to learning Blender and get back to Godot.
Thank you.
Hey, guess what you just convinced my to do? I am going to download Linux Mint and start using it!
I used to care about having the latest packages, having the DE look good, make it my own way, whatever.
I just want to use the hardware I paid for, damn it!
