Don't blame Linux for issues with Nvidia drivers. Nvidia doesn't provide any Linux drivers for their GPUs. AMD GPUs are the way for Linux.
Welcome into the light my child.
Man, since years ago everything in GNU/Linux distros everything has GUI and can be configured with a window and your mouse. You only need terminal if you want to configure low level things
If you like the Steam Deck OS experience, you might consider giving either Pop!OS or Nobara a try – both of those are gaming-focused distributions. Valve also offers SteamOS, which isn't exactly the same as what's on the Deck, but it's relatively similar. For the recording/video editing/audio work side of things, you might consider Ubuntu Studio, which has most of the popular media creation and editing tools for Linux built right in. But yeah, Linux definitely ain't perfect but it's really amazing how cromulent it has become for daily use nowadays.
vrchat with easy anticheat works on ubuntu 24.04 with steam proton. inferior performance but it works.
but then ubuntu went insane. i have three monitors and each of them were randomly freezing. then i tried to play a video in vlc and it went totally glitchy and insane.
i have the same gaming laptop!! i adore it. had it almost a year now.
Put Linux Mint on that rather than Ubuntu. Ubuntu goes into the garbage bin because of their pushing of snaps, even though you try to install apt.
big thing for me as a student is the potential for windows to update in the middle of a test. im not having any of that.
5:35 it really depends on what frontend you use. The one I use gives me a list of packages based off my written search, and then I punch in the number(s) corresponding to the packages. It means that if I'm installing multiple packages I can get all of it done in one fell swoop, too.
I would use Linux only if it worked as well as Windows (I've tried a lot of times with different distros and the overall experience is worse and more unstable).
Until Linux becomes a good desktop os, I will be using Windows LTSC which is windows without the bloat.
Also I am a tech savvy person but I absolutely despise using a terminal and terminal based programs, I know how to use them but I would absolutely prefer a GUI.
For a Linux beginner, I‘d recommend using Linux alongside Windows at first until you‘re somewhat comfortable in the new environment. Don‘t install it on the same drive though!
For the Windows installation, I can highly recommend the Atlas OS Playbook. It removes most of the crap that you don‘t want in Windows and makes it SO much snappier. And it has quite a few customization options. For example, you can choose to keep Edge – although I don‘t know why you would ever do that. :p
Good luck with Resolve on Linux.
I used Linux as a child, I never had such issues with drives as you mentioned, though it's true that I never dragged files.
Ubuntu is great but the UI is unusable. Current Ubuntu looks like Windows 8 and MACOS mixed their turds together. I have been using Lubuntu since Ubuntu dropped MATE and Xubuntu since Lubuntu dropped LXDE.
I bought a Windows 11 key for the pc I'm building, but now you're making me really consider going linux instead
wait, if you love the steam deck, why don't you get Plasma by KDE? SteamOS is just a modified version of that.
In reality for a new user, just use Linux Mint
Also, by the way, I recommend just getting rid of Nvidia whenever you upgrade in the future.
Nvidia themselves are so bad with Linux, that the creator of Linux called them out harshly.
Lastly, love the vid DankPods, can't wait for the next time you do a nugget dip.
I didn't even realise Windows 11 was partially written in Rust. And a sprinkle of faecal matter
Just to let you know you should probably clone that a data drive that you have in your laptop to a new Kingston SSD or any other brand but Samsung right now because they are known to fail and they're known to fail in a way that you could lose your data. And considering that's a three terabyte, you should probably replace it
This was my exact experience, minus the Mac part. The only other difference was not having another crappy machine, so my way of testing it was a "Dual-boot" setup. That was a huge pain in the ass for a lot of reasons (reasons I can't blame Windows nor Linux for), so definitely try and use some other old computer to try it out.
Your analogy of the curve is definitely correct. Ubuntu has it's own "app "store"" for getting software, but it kinda sucks.
As a long time linux user, the thing I hate the most is a portion of the comunity that want to feel superior by using linux. The terminal thing, for instance: you don't need to use the terminal to install things, just use a package manager. Most of the time, for new users, it is much better, however if you go to every linux tutorial out there they will just say 'type this command'. You don't need the terminal to use linux, but ironically, it takes an experienced user to know that 🙁
