Complain to Nvidia, they're the ones who provide the drivers. If their drivers are more buggy than AMD's and Intel's drivers then whose fault is that? Or do you expect Linux developers to workaround all the Nvidia's weird bugs every time they release new ones? Nobody has time for that. A sensible person would just switch brands if one brand is buggy. Not just accept and tolerate any behavior like a beaten wife.

Because operating linux, requires one to have a troubleshooter's mindset and some basic computer knowledge. Most people are borderline tech illiterate and too lazy to figure out what distro they want, dont want to deal with fixing/setting up stuff manually, and they are so used to the windows environment, they are afraid to switch to linux. Linux might have become more user friendly in 2025, but that doesnt mean you wont have to open the command panel to do some stuff. Most people are allergic to that.

It still astonishes me in a good way how an operating system whose components are all pieced together individually from people who write them in their free time can be set up, installed and used in approximately five minutes, while a corporation like Microsoft with billions in corporate backing and requires you to go through like 25 setup screens and a really long installation process.

>>106662613
It's insane to me that a Linux Live USB is still faster than a proper install of Windows on an NVMe, because Linux's I/O demands are a fraction of Windows's.

Never understood why people complain about font rendering on Linux. The font rendering on Windows is so bad that you can see the pixels at 100 PPI, whereas text just looks realistic on Linux on the same screen.

>>106661955

Ubuntu installer hung with a blank screen three times before it could be bothered installing last time I tried it.
>WiFi works
No it doesn't. Neither does Bluetooth. Wireless of any form is a real struggle for Shitux.
>Printers work
You don't even have a printer, so how do you know?
>Screens work
Imagine thinking this is a flex.
>Sound works
Since there's only one sound card now, sure. Even 10 years ago, this was a crapshoot however.
>Drivers work (already preinstalled)
No they don't, see above.
>Sleep works
This is probably the biggest lie loontroons spin. You never see Linux on laptops precisely because the power management is so bad.
They try to cover it up with ARMshit and five-generation-old Celeron "laptops", but we all know the latter's battery would last another three hours with Windows installed.
>SMB works
As long as you don't use any features implemented in the last 10 years - for example, you're connecting to a workgroup Windows peer in its default configuration - sure. As soon as you touch gpedit or you're using AD, expect problems though.
>Taskbar works
>Systray works
Again, this isn't a flex. The Windows taskbar has worked fine for 30 years, but you low IQs like installing random pajeetcoded shell extensions, and lack the intelligence to understand that's your real problem.

Maybe in the nightly build.
>Games work
Unity games work, and a decent selection of AAA titles. Randomly selecting a game from the Steam catalog will no-start 30% of the time, CTD in <5 min another 30% of the time, and have glaring rendering or performance issues another 30% of the time.

nope, i first heard of and tried linux in 2004, and in literally the first /day/ of hearing about it, i had it installed on my laptop, with wifi, 3D acceleration, and my printer working. my biggest hurdle was getting an error doing "cd desktop" because i didn't know about case sensitivity, lol.

>winpajeet doing damage control
Linuxchad here. I'm typing this with my laptop. Wifi works, bluetooth works, sleep works, printers work, sound works, everything works. Battery life is double digits. Nothing you said is true.

Recent graduate to Linux, everything just worked (home built system) and the only thing that didn't was hibernate, it was hard to come to terms with leaving my PC on and wasting power, but ultimately its small price to pay.

I use Linux at work but i don't want to be fucking with shit at home and honestly i haven’t had to, i've been in the console a couple of times.

I thought I would be booting back into Windows but i haven’t, not even to play a game as everything i actually wanted to play either had native support (factorio) or just worked in Proton (new MGS game).

I was due a graphics card update so went AMD vs. NVIDIA to curb future issues.

Increase the size of your swap partition. That's one of the many reasons it exists, contrary to all the low IQ people peddling the myth that it's "pointless in $CURRENT_YEAR".

>>106664483
No swap partition, just a swap file. I'd tried to make it 100% of ram, also 110% just to be safe. Kinda hurts with 64gig of ram but disk space is plentiful thankfully.

Appreciate the reply, any other tips I’m all ears. I'll love to get it worked.

That wasn't working either, like hibernate it would fail to wakeup or i guess fail to actually hibernate correctly.

should look into that. standby/hibernate can be a right pain in the ass, and not just for linux by the way, literally just a couple days ago i finished putting together a new machine for a friend with a fresh copy of win11 and standby didn't wake up there, either. he doesn't really need it so just disabled it

what is this?

>>106665546
Your second line is literally "install debian on same system". You can't run away from the fact you intentionally chose a server OS over a desktop OS, and are blaming anybody but yourself. This is the equivalent of calling Windows a shit desktop OS because you tried to daily drive Windows Server.

The only problem is hardware. Some people I know have had a horrible time with Linux-based OS's just because their GPU (yes, Nvidia) or WiFi card or something had awful support.

If all of your hardware has good support, then yeah, Linux is amazing to use.

>>106661955
