Linux

It's been over a year since I switched to Linux full time - no dual booting. I've been playing games, making games, music, and videos, doing schoolwork, taking notes, and more, all with Linux software, and with very few issues.

It feels good to finally be free from windows. Anyone else exclusively use Linux? For how long?

It's recommended to avoid using the open-source NVIDIA 'Nouveau' graphics driver on the current stable Linux 6.3 series as there is a serious bug present that could cause varying issues to your system.

There is a use-after-free issue within the Nouveau DRM kernel driver and it can cause corruption of kernel memory. Use-after-free issues are also a potential security vulnerability but it's possible this corrupted kernel memory could lead to file-system corruption or other system issues.

After distro hopping for ages, a while back I found myself giving Tumbleweed a try and I have been here ever since. Really really liking the experience and don't think I'll be hopping anywhere anytime soon. The game changer for me was the btrfs file system, and using snapper to do a rollback due to a bad update, and everything just working SO SMOOTHLY.

The rolling release model is wonderful, and the zypper updates / package management is a breath of fresh air.

Overall just want to say how much I'm enjoying it here and thanks to the developers and community for making such a great distribution.
