I’ve been dual-booting Linux and Windows for a while, with Windows as the fall-back option in case I wanted to use Office for something. Now that they tried to trick me into paying a subscription for their AI slop machine, I’m finally, fully out. It was a pain to actually track down and back-up the stuff that was held for ransom in OneDrive, but now it is done.
my unsolicited 2c is to checkout mint
Agreed, using Mint after dropping Windows. Haven’t turned back. Have a piece of work software that requires windows to some degree, so I’ve installed Bottles to assist with that and it’s been pretty good for me so far.
Mint easy to use and requires the least maintaining I kinda wanted kde tho at that time.
isn’t there a mint version with plasma?
It’s only with mate,xfce and Cinnamon but ngl I just installed another distro that supported kde or let’s you pick no desktop.
Fedora KDE is easy to use with good KDE defaults, and its up to date without being unstable.
This is a while ago btw when I wanted KDE but I also heard OpenSUSE KDE is good aswell
It is, but I found openSUSE a weird distro to install and maintain, and it used a bare Plasma install with all the off putting defaults KDE has. Maybe it’s better these days.
Agree, it was confusing getting the Nvidia drivers
