Chrome OS saw a good raise too. OS X(Mac) saw a decrease.

    I’m in the same boat. I’d like to leave Windows but since installing POP!_OS I’ve had issues with ending up with two versions of Firefox installed (yes snap and yes I’ve fixed that now). My Yubikey can’t be detected until I found a post by another user with a fix. I am still yet to find a way to get VRR working.

    There’s no doubt that a lot of issues are user related but honestly I don’t have this much trouble with Windows. This isn’t the first time I’ve tried Linux and each and every time I find issues that I normally just give up on and revert back to Windows. I am trying though, I even purchased a second SSD dedicated for Linux.

    I gotta say though Valve’s proton software is amazing and without it I probably wouldn’t be trying so hard to leave Windows as my primary game doesn’t have native Linux support.

      Pop!_OS was also the first distro I tried and I had a lot of problems with it, I dunno why people keep recommending it.

      I’ve been fulltime on EndeavourOS for over a month no with no issues, but I also don’t have any peripherals that require software to work correctly which makes me a rare case these days.

        I’ll give EndeavourOS a try then. Thanks.

        I tried Pop as it seemed highly recommended.

          Mint and ubuntu are solid places to start linux. You can run them all pretty easy in a virtual machine btw, windows will even auto install ubuntu with the hyper v program. https://imgur.com/a/CFCSUvh Uncheck the secure boot for iso.

          This may be a bit counterintuitive, but I tried Mint and it was ugly and also 21 => 21.1 upgrade tool botched my drive mounting points.

          Fedora was absolutely smooth af and Debian has been absolutely lovely too.

          In case either of those seem more up your alley.

        I tried Endeavor for a bit before switching to Mint. May have just my me being to new to be jumping into Endeavor but I struggled and switch to mint within a couple days. was a beautiful distro though. Will probably jump back at some point since I’m running Linux on a spare PC right next to my main windows PC.
