Most stuff worked great out of the box for me. I had some quirks with power management, specifically for my wifi card, resulting in bad wifi, but there are so many resources and so many people willing to help out that it was not even a big problem to solve. I haven’t used Ubuntu, I am on arch, but the great thing is, most problems and solutions don’t really care what distro you’re on, so I am no stranger to ubuntu forums when researching something. And as cliché as it is to recommended, the arch wiki is an amazing source of information, so definitely give it a look.

Tbh you can probably make a Linux install act like windows if you wanted. So that’s another point in favour of switching for people who are undecided. It can be as slow and bloated as your windows install if you want it.

Thanks! I’ve seen that there’s a lot. Just haven’t gotten to it all yet. Peertube especially seems worthwhile, I should get the app and check it out on a break at work or something.

Thanks, I love you too. Jokes aside, I am also new here, mostly just browsing. I love it too, makes me feel good.
