    Nice of you to skip over the whole current Nvidia driver mess regarding Linux like it’s that simple

    Or the non streamlined GUI sessions and installs that are still a WIP rife with incompatibility and constantly verging on obsolete so you’re spending more and more of your time as a developer desperately seeking source rather than just using your computer as a computer.

    Or the fact that no local computer stores will support Linux so if you really are stuck you remain brick stuck because of how elitist Linux usability is reserved for the technical.

    I mean sure, it’s great, if you’re technical and have the kind of time to finally figure out your build.

    Not so great if you’re not and strapped for time

      Nvidia GPU aren’t a deal breaker on Linux with most of the common distros, it is just that their drivers aren’t baked in to the kernel and tend to be more likely to cause issues. If anything it has gotten better over the years. That being said, I went with AMD for my most recent GPU to avoid this exact issue because I did run into some serious Nvidia drives issues.

      no local computer stores will support Linux

      Where do you live that local computer stores are still a thing?? I haven’t seen one in 10+ years

      Also, many Linux distros are very easy to use these days. I’ve gotten Zoomers using Ubuntu without issues, and they don’t even understand what files and folders are
