I’ve taken much pleasure in shitting on Microsoft and their products for decades, but I’m also the first one to admit the products that are actually good:
- Built-in antivirus (for the past 10 years, at least)
- Notepad. (Sometimes you don’t want any features)
- Outlook Express (Newer equivalent is decent, but too buggy and bloated)
- Windows 7 (The pinnacle of an MS OS since MSDOS 6.22)
There are probably more, but those are the ones I remember off the top of my head.
I use Mint for my main gaming PC. Most things worked out of the box.
On my previous laptop everything worked out of the box, I jus had to install the nvidia driver. On my newest one the GPU required a newer driver than what was available for my kernel, so I had to experiment with various combinations of kernel and driver combinations before I found something that worked well.
I settled for kernel 6.0.0-1018 + nvidia 535.40.03 for my rtx4060.
Might as well. I’m a linux guy, running various distros on a few machines, depending on the machines function. My gaming laptop runs Linux Mint, and I find that to be a pretty good choice. Almost everything works out of the box (I just had to install a newer kernel to make the newest nvidia driver work, as my GPU is pretty new as well).
I have a Win10 install, but I haven’t used it in ages. Everything I play plays just fine in Linux.
