Probably 1,5 months ago. I used Fedora 38 - to be fair I was really impressed with how far gaming has gotten. Basically anything I trew at it just worked (big F for Rust). However my audio kept breaking when switching application's which I could only fix by restarting. Besides that I was really annoyed by Fedora somehow not picking up my second display from time to time. No idea what happened but every like 20 restarts my second display wouldn't work, or games suddenly started to display on my second display instead of my main. These where probably the biggest things for me, besides some applications I use for debugging not being supported on Linux. Anyhow I'll probably try Linux again in a couple of months, maybe another distro, since I do really enjoy programming on Linux.

I would suggest using something easier like Linux Mint next time you give Linux a try.

nope. if your not installing arch for your first distro then linux is too good for you

My now-husband thought a good first date was to compile gentoo on my computer with KDE 4.0 (so raw that folders/desktop/drag and drop didn't work). 13 years later, I finally decided to use Arch on one of my computers... the other two are still Ubuntu, though that's likely to change.

I still can't quite figure out why I kept dating him and eventually married him. Maybe it's the free tech support?
