I’m currently on Win11 but I’m getting that familiar Linux itch and want to dual boot a while again. I tend to gravitate towards Ubuntu simply because it’s so big and well supported by most things.
I’ve run Arch in the past but I’ve gotten too old and lazy for that if I’d be completely honest. I have played with manjaro and endeavour though… and opensuse tumbleweed, rolling is kind of nice.
Not sure what I’d try out first this time so I figured I’d get some inspiration from you guys!
NixOS. If you played around with Arch you’ll be fine. My only gripe (although it’s kind of important) is NVIDIA doesn’t work. Call me lazy but I haven’t felt like switching to an other distro, plus I’m not much of a hardcore gamer.
Nvidia drivers works just fine. Well, as “fine” as they work on any other distro.
Only thing you need to do is add
"nvidia"
toservices.xserver.videoDrivers
. You might also need to accept unfree packages but you’ll need to do that anyways for Steam.That’s a huuuuuge problem seeing that Nvidia has like an 80% gpu market share.
Yeah, that’d be a no for me.
Especially problematic since I’m on a laptop so I can’t really switch out the GPU either.
