It works, it just fucking works, no upselling, no AI bullshit. Just a functioning OS

I am trying to use Mint Linux. It does not just work.

I am not against lunix, but you do need to dedicate time and effort to learn how to get it to do what you want it to.

It has not been an out of box experience for me. In my case, I am running into a GPU issue where installing Nvidia drivers makes the OS boot in safe mode and I have to restore to a previous state from the timeline to get it to boot normally.

Edit: Thanks for all the suggestions! I appreciate that I got these responses from this community instead of a negative dogpile!

Edit2: Hearing a lot of pop_OS suggestions, might give that a spin if I keep on running into Mint issues.

Remember Torvalds flipping the bird, and telling a corporation to fuck itself? That was NVidia. And that was why he did it.

(I had NVidia GPUs through my whole life, except the last one - an AMD. I'm glad to have switched.)

Anyway, meldrik's answer should work fine.
