I would love to use Linux on my laptop but the touchpad isn't recognised and only has windows drivers :( i have tried so much stuff but it didnt work out. My desktop is mostly for gaming so windows makes more sense.

My laptop's trackpad doesn't work in linux and I keep losing my mouse.
Video games for one. Hated the UI (only thing I've ever hated worse was the BS Windows pulled with 8, which I skipped). The GUI experience just felt... Like a very distant after thought. Only reason I use Linux at all is on servers (homelab) because... Well the cost is spot on and once I get it working I don't have to deal with it anymore.

I just wanted game use to be a bit more streamlined.
*Also, Jesus there are so many Linux instances and communities on here. I'm having to block so many so they don't clutter my feed.
