    kde plasma, changing the explicit driver is not such an easy task. And have to manually mess around with nouveau

    Or have a card that needs the bios set before defaulting nvidia for plasma.

    stuff you never ever have to think about on windows.

    Linux is not something that works out of the box for every need.

    Not a stab on Linux but this is more of a stab at the fanbois really gotta back down from gatekeeping as this is what I find the cringiest about Linux user base. Which I’m part of now so I see it as my duty to call this shit out and tell them to knock it off. It is full on obnoxious.

      Got you, I understand now that you were more countering Linux fanbois than putting down Linux itself. In any case, I’m not sure I understand several of your points and would like to understand them better.

      Are you saying that you prefer KDE Plasma, so that Pop OS being based on Gnome is a non-starter? On a related note, if you haven’t yet, take a look at the Pop OS beta for their COSMIC desktop. It’s kind of in-between KDE and Gnome and written in Rust. It’s more like gnome, but has more features and allows more tweaking out of the gate. Plus it seems very fast. It’s pretty close to being released, I think I heard December 11th or some date around that?

      What do you mean about changing the explicit driver and manually messing around with nouveau? How about the bios setting part?

      I feel that Linux can work pretty well for a lot of people. Sure, nothing works for everyone though.
