    Do you support Nvidia GPUs?

    Nvidia F*ck y- Oh wait we actually support it. We provide a Nvidia ISO with proprietary drivers preinstalled and with hybrid graphics support and simple switch. Check out our wiki

    Well, I was thinking of moving to Linux full-time anyway now that my Windows install is obsolete. Any reason to avoid this distro? Past experience is with Ubuntu, Gentoo, and SuSE. I mostly game.

    Serious answer? It's a meme distro seemingly maintained by a single person, so the odds of the project being abandoned and you having to migrate in the very near future are extremely large. Better to stick to one of the bigger distros unless you have good reasons to choose a smaller one specifically.

    Stick with something better known. Linux Mint, Fedora, openSUSE, Arch, Ubuntu.....If you're just getting into this for the first time, full time, a niche meme distro is not your best choice.

    Linux Mint is best for stability, but will be a bit more "stale" for updates, since it's based on Ubuntu LTS. It is an incredible distro and is my daily driver for mission critical desktops, like my work PC.

    Fedora and openSUSE Tumbleweed will both be great non-Arch distros that have fairly recent, yet stable updates.

    Arch is basically the king of rolling, bleeding edge, always on the latest and greatest, but since it's bleeding edge.....you might get cut on occasion.

    Ubuntu is Ubuntu. I don't like Ubuntu, but it is the defacto "newbie/first timer" distro for a reason. Debian-based, lots of guides, both LTS and non-LTS options, and has variants for practically every major desktop environment out there.

    Gaming is really good on bazzite.

    [–] grysbok@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 4 days ago

    Y'all have some good points. What I'm hearing is "install it on a fresh hard drive, play around, then move on to something more stable."

    [–] Turret3857 7 points 5 days ago

    generally speaking its safer to go with larger well known distros as smaller ones tend to die off.

    [–] oppy1984@lemdro.id 3 points 4 days ago

    I was a windows only guy most of my computing life, 10 years ago I got sick of it and gave Linux a shot. After trying Ubuntu and hating it I tried ZorinOS and started getting comfortable then switched to Mint.

    I've been running Mint exclusively for 9 years on all my machines and I love it. It's close enough to windows to be intuitive while still letting you use and learn Linux.

    My Cachy OS broke today, so I just switched to Pika OS. I wish I had heard about this a few hours ago.

    [–] dil@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

    Were you getting freezes? I'm stuck on an older kernel for stability, same issue on mint and endeavour (arch) tho. My problem isn't exclusive to cachyos, yours may be tho

    If you call it "morbid fascination," you can run it and still pretend to be disgusted.

    [–] cepelinas@sopuli.xyz 12 points 5 days ago

    Fair point.

    You used to have to add those things manually... Now these newbies can either use archinstall or just install this?! What is Arch coming to...

    I got excited thinking it was a furry distro for a sec πŸ˜”πŸ˜”πŸ˜”

    [–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 20 points 4 days ago (1 children)

    I have good news for you. All Linux distros are furry distros.

    [–] chronicledmonocle@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

    And LGBTQ+ distros.

    And socialist distros.

    And.....

    [–] kautau@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

    Is RHEL really any of those? Or like Amazon Linux? They’re technically open source but still gross

    That's a good point.

    [–] swab148@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 4 days ago

    Don't let your memes be dreams

    [–] meta4@retrolemmy.com 8 points 5 days ago

    I installed it a week or so ago.. it was alright. Didn't care much for the DE animations, switched back to Mint the same day. Good for the lulz (and on-demand waifu pics).
