>>8515i forgot how bad the wifi clusterfuck used to be, but no that's something that seems to just werk automatically now or at least with the handful of distros i've tried. that was actually one of the reasons i didn't get into linux a long while back, i attempted to install i think ubuntu or some other distro on my laptop that i was told was wangblows user friendly only to have the wifi absolutely refuse to work no matter what i tried. also at the time getting games that didn't have a version specifically dedicated to linux to run was either a nightmare or outright impossible for a newbie. now any retard
me included can just stumble their way through something like mint

>>8515idk i have ayymd and shit has just werked stock for like 10 years now
but i read even if u go thru the fuckery to get the proprietary nvidia drivers working ur still losing like 20% performance compared to windows and wayland support is still fucked
either way tho ubuntu is really really really dogshit now and theres not really any good noob distros if ur sub-115 and cant read
steamos is supposedly coming soon to normal pcs so maybe that will actually be good mebbe wait for that if u want to try to get away from windows
No.8521
>>8520>ur still losing like 20% performance compared to windows Oh yeah I'm aware, it's almost definitely an intentional decision made by the (((shareholders))) too. If I do make the switch I'll prolly just get some basic distro for web browsing and keep Windows around just for gaymen. Could also stick with just Windows because security updates are a meme anyway but you'd eventually lose software support that way. I still see dudes on forums crying that devs don't support Windows 7 anymore lol. What's wrong with Ubuntu anyway? In the past I've found it mostly usable, tho also kinda bloated.

>>8521>What's wrong with Ubuntu anywaybasically anything that differentiates it from any other distro
>snaps>fixed point releases on a desktop os in 2k25>out of date software in default repos>prompted to upgrade to "ubuntu pro" every time you update packages>uses gnome>uses some special modified version of gnome that breaks in weird ways>now they are trying to replace coreutils with their own version rewritten in rustthe main problem is that canonical tries to invent their own unique solutions to problems that have already been solved by better programmers
No.8524
>>8520apples to oranges but I wonder how much of that performance loss is compensated for by the absence of bloatware overhead slowing down the system overall
No.8530
>>8523>prompted to upgrade to "ubuntu pro" every time you update packageswtf who thought that was a good idea? most of their users stopped using Windows because of exactly that kind of shit
No.8531
>>8517it's probably because you didn't install the proprietary firmware needed for the wifi card, same goes for my laptop and AMD GPUs, both refuse to work without it. small price to pay.
i think linux on the desktop first became competent with kde 5 when they made the ui usable and not fugly, still lots of shenanigans i have to put up with and i still have a windows pc just so i can play group fort 2 and btfo third worlders but i'm happy i switched.
No.8533
>>8531it's been several years, maybe close to a decade so i cant memeber completely but i'm vary sure i installed all of the proper shit. like i went and read up on a tone of shit and still couldn't get it to work, maybe back then hp laptop hardware was just extra difficult for linux users idk. shit werks mostly fine whenever i try new distros nowadays tho, most of my issues seem to come from not updating for too long but even then it's nbd.
still can't figure out the monitor blanking out tho, but i was gonna buy a newer one soon anyway this thing is like 12 years old

>The Nintendo Switch 2 is scheduled for release on June 5, 2025, with a base price of $449, or $499 bundled with Mario Kart. Pre-orders start on April 9. The console's launch is accompanied by 'Mario Kart World', which introduces new gameplay features like dynamic weather and a free roam mode, but has stirred controversy due to its pricing. Digital editions of games like 'Mario Kart World' are set at $80, while physical copies are priced at $90, leading to widespread criticism among gamers and industry observers.
