    which flavors did you try?

    and what problems did you need to troubleshoot (probably graphics cards?)

      All the common ones, including Arch (of course) :P

      Ye I am using Nvidia, so that didn’t help. Usually I’ll hop into Linux distro every year as my attempt to move away from Windows, the most recent issue I can recall is mixed monitor refreshed rate not playing well ie. 144hz + 60hz monitor combi.

      By default, X11 uses the lowest refresh rate and apply that to both screens - OK fine. Then I switched to Wayland, the refresh rate issue gone but I noticed some apps, including Discord doesn’t seem to play well, random flickering and shits. Switched back to X11, managed to fix the issue after hours of Googling. At that point, I was like meh - too much effort to get things to work for Linux. Back to Windows for my day-to-day usage, especially gaming.

        how about gentoo, slackware, pardus, gobo, nixos?

        i guess if you game, then linux is mostly out of the question.

          Nah ain’t got time for Gentoo and the less mainstream ones, may try NixOS next year. Heard good things about it.

            i am very curious whether nixos does anything differently that would make your graphics experience better, but i wouldn’t be too hopeful
