Obviously this is somewhat subjective, but I’ve had a lot of problems in my previous attempts to switch to Linux, so I’d like to create a list of distros to try out, and see what works for me. I’m mostly expecting to be doing basic office work and light gaming via Steam.
Well, Windows 7 and 10 were pretty good, but Windows 11…
My girlfriend bought a brand new laptop. Everything except Nvidia drivers worked out of the box. Nvidia also installed just fine. But on Windows 11 keyboard lights just refused to work and she never figured out how to solve that… Also vpns just randomly break on Windows while working perfectly fine with Fedora.
I myself have had a different experience with Linux. I’ve always loved tinkering around so I used to constantly break stuff. That’s why I was quite shocked to find out Linux worked out so well for my non tech-savvy gf. But apparently for normal everyday use Linux has become a solid, or even a better alternative to Windows.
