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

    I switched from Nvidia to AMD for the simple reason that Linux support (out of the box) seems better. Plus AMD just looks (slightly less bad) by virtue of not being like half of the US economy. Oh it also helps that modern AMD cards can actually legit compete with Nvidia cards by now. Or surpass them in some respects like price / money ratio.

      I picked a 9060XT 16GB for my recent build because it has good performance and vram capacity for the price, I don’t give a shit about ray tracing, the drivers aren’t actively hostile, and AMD isn’t the primary driver of the AI slop bubble.
