Little help here linux guys? Trying to figure out what distro to use by riccochet in c/linux@lemmy.ml

So far i've actually been pretty impressed. I got it up and running pretty seamlessly. Displays are still a bit weird. One of my displays seems to not want to come on at boot, but just turning it on from standby mode once its booted and it works fine. Was able to install a few games via lutris and steam with no issues. Everything is running pretty good so far, but its literally been installed for a couple hours only. So it will be interesting to see how at least the next few days go.

Thats fair. And for that reason i just keep going back to windows after trying out linux and waiting for it to catch up. Its come a looooooong way. I guess with the accelerated enshitification of windows i feel like i would like to get out asap. :P

Yeah. Wayland + Nvidia seems to = sadness it seems. Might be worth a go.

I never used the nouveau driver. Always the proprietary or the one bundled with nobara. One of my first headaches under proxmox was gpu pass through on a Nvidia card that necessitated blowing away all the nouveau drivers in the system. Basically scared me away from every using it. 😋

Honestly arch always sounded exhausting to me. I'm fine with cli interfaces but arch always came across as requiring a lot of personal investment that I wasnt really ready for. Might be my best option at this point tho

Ive tried nobara, I've tried Ubuntu, I've tried popOS, and I think also tried mint. I'm not 100% sure on that one tho... I feel like alot of my attempts have just blurred together at his point...

I honestly never tried this because everything worked perfectly when I would eventually switch back to windows.

Yeah. It's another one of these. But! Here me out! So I have some experience using Linux. Run some VMs for services I run in my home, I switched my surface book 3 (funnily enough) to ubuntu for my work computer as I was getting more and more frustrated by windows 11 and it turned out really good. Was able to completely get off windows and i didn't miss out on anything. Now. Ive been trying to migrate my gaming rig to Linux with... Not a lot of success. I have 3 monitors plugged into it, a Samsung crg49 and then 2 small no name brand monitors I like for websites and discord and stuff while I play on the Samsung monitor. On windows it works flawlessly. No Linux distro I've used has been able to handle it and I'm not sure how I should be approaching this. Running games has been fine. I use lutris and have been able to play pretty much everything I've wanted to with some tweaking. But whether a few hours or a few days, eventually I start having issues with the displays. Monitors will black out. Not boot. Eventually the whole system just stops working in a way that I can figure out. I have a ryzen 3700x, and a Nvidia 2080ti. 64GB of RAM. all my storage is nvme. I have tried most major distros. Mostly Ubuntu is what I have experience with. I have tried some others like nobara, but performance was awful, and display management was an issue. Ive never really installed other desktop environments other than what comes with those distros, so if it's a matter of "use distro x, but you need to install weyland" then sure. Just let me know that's something I need to do. 😋 So... What do you suggest I run? I really dont want to go back to windoze. It's just awful these days.

I've been using Ermagherd Hertspert for years. Still makes me chuckle once in a while.

Fair. But I like to think that's less about me and more about them.

That there is absolutely nobody and nothing in this world that wants to do me harm or ruin my day. Stuff happens. Sometimes good, sometimes bad. Nobody is out to get you, everyone has something more important to do.
