My plan is to buy an NVMe today, install linux as a dual boot, but use linux as a daily driver, to see if it meets my needs before committing to it.
My main needs are gaming, local AI (stable diffusion and oobabooga), and browser stuff.
I have experience with Mint (recently) and Ubuntu (long ago). Any problems with my plan? Will my OS choice meet my needs?
Thanks!
In my opinion in modern computing I’d rather be on a “faster” releasing distro such as Fedora, Arch Linux. Modern hardware depends constant patches to the kernel to keep up with new sleep management changes and improvements to the GPU stack etc.
Currently running Fedora 38 on my Thinkpad and it’s wicked fast. Definitely my favorite distro at the moment.
Same here :) Fedora sericea to be exact
Nice. I hadn’t used linux in a few years and I’m really amazed at how damn good it’s gotten.
