I’ve been dual-booting Linux and Windows for a while, with Windows as the fall-back option in case I wanted to use Office for something. Now that they tried to trick me into paying a subscription for their AI slop machine, I’m finally, fully out. It was a pain to actually track down and back-up the stuff that was held for ransom in OneDrive, but now it is done.
my unsolicited 2c is to checkout mint
Mint easy to use and requires the least maintaining I kinda wanted kde tho at that time.
Fedora KDE is easy to use with good KDE defaults, and its up to date without being unstable.
This is a while ago btw when I wanted KDE but I also heard OpenSUSE KDE is good aswell
It is, but I found openSUSE a weird distro to install and maintain, and it used a bare Plasma install with all the off putting defaults KDE has. Maybe it’s better these days.
Agree, it was confusing getting the Nvidia drivers
isn’t there a mint version with plasma?
It’s only with mate,xfce and Cinnamon but ngl I just installed another distro that supported kde or let’s you pick no desktop.
Agreed, using Mint after dropping Windows. Haven’t turned back. Have a piece of work software that requires windows to some degree, so I’ve installed Bottles to assist with that and it’s been pretty good for me so far.
