i use mint on my nvidia gpu with latest drivers and i have no problem

he had that waking up moment

this article and post screams “SWITCH TO SIGNAL MESSAGING RN!” to me

i’m daily driving mint for a month now and i appreciate i did

i think imma keep the 4070 for now. i didn’t saw any hiccups and i don’t want to deal with changing gpus. my next gpu is gonna be top of the line amd in future tho

i actually don’t care that much about windows and i’m trying to fully transition to linux rn. i have not got any problem with 4070 yet and i’m just thinking about it.

did you get any problem with it, like people complain about when using with windows? i own a 4070 and im not sure if i should switch or not, i yet to full transition to linux but im daily using mint

gamepass and other subscription services wouldn’t exist in the first place if steam had some trial gameplay, i know you can buy something and refund it in the first two hours but average gamer doesn’t know this

yup

yeah but these manufacturers are few. imagine the percentage if lenovo sold every think device with linux pre installed on it to corporations. microsoft has 70 something percent just because of the ease of use

it’s not gonna decrease from there. linux only needs some product to push usage percentage, like steam deck. it’s key to the mass adoption but i also don’t care that much about percentage

yeah, i get it, but it´s the same thing if you´re switching from windows to macos or the other way around. you loose searching capability [which is cmd + space] if you switch to windows, and you need a seperate app for window tiling in macos. lots of people agree that linux is the most customizable os in the market compared to macos and windows, they even have a seperate subreddit in reddit just for “ricing” which means customizing linux, you can look them in r/unixporn. btw, you have the option to run a command while using hot corners, it´s directly in the system settings. here´s a screenshot that i took just now.

i guess you’re right about the “average” user. i forgot the nanny.

integrating every aspect of the customization to os itself is tricky but i think distros in general already have pretty good customization settings natively. you can do themes, icons etc.

you should explain the word “customization” a bit more.

didn’t read that it’s a work device, but beginner linux distros are easy to install, like windows. OP probably shouldn’t install another os on work device. making the switch is easy for the most people and you can use windows whenever you want besides it. linux adaptation has nothing to do with my comment. i don’t care about my downvotes, what os people use or linux user percentage, but they should be aware of their options if these things annoy them. if windows works for you, and these things don’t annoy you, you can happily use it.

use linux on daily basis, far better for your mental health. you can use virtual machine to work with these shitty softwares, or you can always dual-boot. make the switch!
