Teils13@lemmy.eco.br 5 weeks agoMay i suggest for both of you to try Linux Mint (Regular Edition, XFCE MATE or Cinnamon) ? It is the only linux distro that has never failed me once, after also getting into unfixable messees with majaro, arch, endeavour, and also regular debian and LMDE not even booting up on my PC. It uses the Ubuntu base and several of its programs (like the extensive hardware compatibility and system stuff) but takes away the bad stuff in it (like the SNAPs, that loads of people hate both for not being FOSS and to replace the regular debian and flatpak, and give a worse performance in several cases like Firefox. I also agree every linux distro sans Mint is too rough for now, but Linux Mint is the magnum opus of linux, is already click-click-install, beginner-friendly and stable like rock.

Sadly, that’s the distro I had when I did my dual boot last summer. My Lenovo just isn’t compatible with it.

Mint has not worked well with my Nvidia card either. Pop_OS is doing great, though. They have an Nvidia specific install with some optimization for Nvidia cards.

That’s good to know. Is it user-friendly?

Popos was the one I tried last, out of curiosity.It ran smoothly at first. Then all of a sudden logging in to my user took 3 minutes. Turned out it was some custom popos syncing code that blocked the login process. I’m now running Ubuntu again 🥴

Very. I have had to use the terminal for a couple things (VPN and some Switch modding), but 99% of the time it is unnecessary.
