i followed a “install any linux distro in 5 minutes” guide and after just 14 hours i finally have an OS that is running properly

as a long time hater i must say its very nice and i like it a lot, especially considering microsoft is hellbent on making windows the worst OS as quickly as possible. i will say, im a big nerd and this stuff comes to me pretty easily but i still think hoping normies will adopt this is kinda insane

anywho, its the year of linux or so i keep hearing

also if anyone knows why my keyboard keeps disconnecting every 30 minutes or so, i would very much like to know why. its an anne pro 2 that i am using with a wired connection

    What did you find difficult about making the switch? I think I was in a similar boat a couple years ago when I made the switch but it wasn’t a hassle until I started trying to run pirated software and I had to learn some things.

      The most difficult part was buying a 1080 way back in 2014 and suffering the consequences of NVIDIA 12 years later lmao, i haven’t tried any pirated stuff yet so im sure that will be an experience

        I had an NVIDIA card when I made the switch as well, a 1650. I’ve actually had more issues since switching to an AMD card because Blender works nicely with CUDA but not AMD’s equivalent.
