It was still a good suggestion thanks. Something with openwrt is preferred but anything that’s not google is an improvement.

Thanks! openwrt works on these?

Mesh in this case means one wifi network visible to wireless devices with multiple nodes broadcasting it. In my case both nodes are connected via ethernet.

That’s good to know actually. Is Nvidia so poor with Linux that it wouldn’t be worth it assuming all else being equal?

Really? You can get an RTX 3060 card for under $300 USD. Someone else in the thread recommended the RX6700xt which is double the price. You’re saying the AMD has worse performance (not in Linux)?

Thanks! How is AMD with ray tracing? I play a lot of survival horror and want to experience that spooky lighting

SJWs

Ah yes REDDIT. The website that famously does not have any safe spaces for conservatives.

Thanks for sharing? Why is every Lemmy single comment section filled with unrelated iamverysmart comments.

Fedora Kinote just works.

I used GNOME for years because people say it’s “easier”, but it’s not “easier” it’s just simpler. I almost never need to go to the command line with KDE whereas with GNOME it was a weekly occurrence. I am frankly embarrassed I wrote off KDE for so long.

Windows has an entirely different set of objectives.

I never thought of it this way. My first reaction was “What do you mean ‘different objectives’, they’re both operating systems!” But Windows is an operating system with the objective of making profit for Microsoft. Linux is an operating system with the goal of… being an operating system.

It really puts it in perspective. Windows (and Mac) can and will only use useful to the consumer up to a point.

I’m surprised to hear you don’t like Fedora. I recently tried Kinoite and I wish I’d discovered it sooner. I’ve never had a Linux distro that felt so detail-oriented and complete. I’d be curious to hear your reasoning!

Ignore everyone here saying fix Ubuntu and try Fedora Kinoite (or Silverblue). Bazzite is probably great too if you are gaming but I haven’t tried it.

I finally tried Fedora Kinoite after years of Ubuntu (and related distros) and I genuinely wish I had tried it sooner. Everything just works. I cannot reccomend it enough. It’s what I always wanted Linux to be.

I’ve actually tried Zorin and was really impressed! My favorite use of GNOME I’ve seen for sure. Though it’s technically Ubuntu based (which is Debian based).

Agreed on all counts! I really can’t express enough how impressed I am.

requires a fair bit of post-installation configuration

This is crazy to me because of all the distros I’ve tested over the years Fedora Kinote is by FAR the one I’ve had to do the least amount of tweaking with. It’s almost boring how “just works” it is. It’s honestly changed my perspective of what a distro can be.

It works with Fedora, Windows and Macintosh. It worked with Ubuntu until a month ago. It doesn’t work with a fresh install of Ubuntu with default settings.

There, now you have all the same information I have.

It worked perfectly with Ubuntu until recently. It worked perfectly with Windows and Macintosh. It worked perfectly with Fedora.

It didn’t work with a fresh install of Ubuntu and several other distros in the same family.

Now I know what you’re about to say- you’re about to say it could have worked if I had only X Y or Z. But that’s not my point.

My point is that newbies don’t want to troubleshoot everything.

I have not but it was actually on my list of distros to try if Fedora didn’t work out. I should give it a look.

idk I have only needed the terminal once, with Ubuntu/Gnome it was a daily occurrence.
