I ended up with Nobara
As some of you already know I’ve been playing around on a small partition with Linux Mint. Learned basic troubleshooting and fixed some driver issues.
Now I’m very impressed with how it runs and decided to daily Linux and keep Windows for things Linux can’t do. Currently installing Windows on a new small SSD as we speak. (240Gb for the OS plus it’s gonna get a 500GB NTFS partition on my 2TB gaming drive)
This brings me to my question. Which Distro? I’ve narrowed it down to keep using Mint or Fedora KDE Plasma 41. Mint is something I’ve already screwed around with and there’s loads of guides online about it.
But Fedora seems like a better for for me. I’m not afraid of tinkering at all. But as long as I came game and daily it for browsing, emails etc. without too much issues, I’m good.
What’s the consensus? Setting it up tonight after my new W11 install is up and running.
That’s the wonderful thing about distros, you can keep trying different ones until you find one you love or just get tired of changing lol.
I absolutely despise installing Windows. Takes forever.
Linux distros take like 10 minutes. I love it!
And you don’t have to fuck with drivers, especially for basic shit like the friggin hard drive. No forced accounts either!
Why though?
Sometimes you mess up an install, sometimes you just want to try different things and see what’s out there. I had to do that a bit to get a sense of what kind of distros I like and don’t like.
