  • My one borked Linux install came from what I’m guessing was a mem leak in Endeavour (Firefox related or otherwise I’ll never know) stopping up an update/upgrade and not finishing all the post install scripts before rebooting. You’ll be fine, but Endeavour is close enough and does look good out of the box :⁠-⁠)







  • I would look at OpenSUSE and try whichever flavor meets your needs. It’s more niche than Ubuntu but on vanilla installation is easily as user-friendly. The only downside is that if you start messing with stuff, tutorials are not written with SUSE/zypper in mind as often.

    I’ve been running Tumbleweed with Nvidia drivers for about 6 months and have had basically no issues. Switch between X11Plasma/KDE when I just need something direct, and Wayland/Hyprland when I want to mess about and I’ve not had to blow everything away yet.









  • I have really been struggling to get proton to work in OpenSUSE, despite ProtonDB having only positive experience with the games I’ve attenpted. Running Tumbleweed X11 KDE with an 30 series Nvidia GPU. And in trying to fix them I seem to have broken my display drivers altogether. Plenty of system restarts, but all this happened without going into windows for a month. And that’s why I dual boot 😢
