The writing is on the wall--I suspect the next Windows OS will be a subscription service. Gather your ISOs while ye may.

I regret upgrading to 11 on my home machine. I want to either go back to 10, or just migrate to Linux Mint. Only two things stopping me from jumping is a) My graphics are Nvidia, and b) making time for it.

Mint's Nvidia support has gotten A LOT better over the last few years. You can try it out and see how it goes. Message me if you want help with that.

Is it better than PopOS's NVIDIA-specific ISO?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Personally I've never used PopOS so I can't speak to it.

Fair enough. :)

The Linux and nvidia situation is getting better, I haven't had problems in a while.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I switched to mint this year with a Nvidia 4080. so far I have been able to get everything I need running with minimal or no involvement. Counterstrike 2 is the most obnoxious which requires me to disable my secondary monitors. That doesn't happen with anything else and most new games have been good.

If you don't play something with an ajticheat you know is incompatible with Linux I'd definitely reccomend jumping.
