What would be The Linux that works for most windows games and majority of enterprise corporate software? Or a linux version that can get older warez windows software to work, like Photoshop CS 6 and the like?
popOS just because they have an installer that includes nvidia drivers out of the box.
I second this. Works almost flawlessly out of the box (I had to install another version of the Nvidia driver from the pop shop because my 3080 didn't like the 470 version but other than that I had no issues, except with some games that require a kernel level anticheat)
Mint also does, no?
dunno, if it does, then yay?
1Ooh that sounds nice, because I have an Nvidia card.
Installing pop os on my desktop failed.
How ? I did manage to accidentally lock myself out of my main Nvme drive the first time because I chose the encryption option and fucked up the password because of keyboard layout shenanigans, so I reinstalled it without encryption because I'm the only person with access to this PC anyway, but everything else went smooth as butter.
I don't remember the error, but it was the Nvidia edition on my old 2016 bought desktop. I restarted the install 3 times, and it failed at the same point.
I still don't have an OS on it at the moment, because the error was after formatting.
Was it some vendor's prebuilt PC maybe ? Those can have some weird parts that can be hard to get to work properly on Linux.
It wasn't potentially and I ran several Linux distributions on it over the years, including Manjaro and mint.
