    I am a macOS user for work and had windows mostly for games on my personal computer, when I got a new laptop last year it came with win 11… it was so annoying to need to skip literally ads for Microsoft services… that even being my “leisure” computer… I spent the time getting Linux Mint, deal with Nvidia drivers on Linux just to have steam there

    The games I am playing recently are working great on Linux and my computer feels faster now.

    This particular laptop had a problem with WiFi drivers and Nvidia drivers, but getting past this first setup, I must say Linux Destop is easier and fast to use.

      I just bought a machine with an NVIDIA card which I am going to install Mint on. Do you have any advice?

      (I had planned to get an AMD GPU, but was unable to for various reasons.)

        Do all updates first, save a snapshot of the system, than install the latest Nvidia driver.

        For me, installing Nvidia drivers before the system update was the issue
