I was considering that distro a while back, but they do have a warning that it has issues so it’s not really suitable for new users. Btw there ain’t much point in gaming distros, you can use mint cinnamon and it gets exactly the same performance and it’s noob friendly and stable.
And live environment means you can use it from the usb installation media before installing. Idk why it doesn’t have a browser in it though.
If your laptop can run w10 at all, it will run mint cinnamon very well
Two. The first time I had nvidia related issues with nobara, so I removed nvidia drivers for reinstallation… And couldn’t figure out how to get them back. The second time I had used mint for long enough that I felt confident enough to nuke windows partition. I used gparted and nuked the whole disk instead.
Not counting the times I tried fedora and it killed itself with the first updates and then with multimedia codecs.
Nice try, mister ransonware attacker hacker!
The os itself doesn’t require a whole lot of learning, if you stick to something user friendly like mint cinnamon. Key differences are how you install programs and drivers. File structure is very different. After two years of daily driving mint cinnamon, I find it more difficult to do basic stuff in windows, especially 11. If it feels intimidating, the recommended approach is to try it out on another pc, dualboot, or use it in a virtual machine.
Indeed. That was back when I used windows, and I found it quarantined in defender. No idea what kind of spyware I got from it, but I wasn’t hacked and I didn’t lose my moneys.
I have been using 1337x.to for years and it’s listed as #1 option for general purpose torrents in the megathread. I get everything from there, except for music which rutracker is better for.
You should always be careful when downloading stuff though, once I was drunk torrenting and found a movie, but for some reason it wouldn’t play. The next day I noticed it was an exe file…
Yeah the best way to choose a distro is to just try them and see which one works. Every now and then I forget that and I start distrohopping. I always go back to mint because simply nothing else works well enough on my HW.
