2024 is the Year of Linux on the Desktop, at least for my boyfriend. He’s running Windows 7 right now, so I’ll be switching him to Ubuntu in a few days. Ubuntu was chosen because Proton is officially supported in Ubuntu.

    Really liked Mint, unfortunately the kernel was not new enough to support my 7900 XTX when I upgraded GPU so I ended up switching to Pop_OS which works fine as well.

      Had the same issue for my nvidia 4060. I just installed a kernel manually which allowed me to run a new enough driver.

      They now have an edge Version with a newer kernel. It’s probably to do with mesa tho (this stuff can get frisky fast so let’s stop here)

      You can easily add xanmod kernel to Debian based distros to get a more up to date kernel. I’ve never had any issues running it.
