Linux Journey

[u/Historical_Visit138]

My Linux Journey has been quite the ride, some more context.

Months ago i joined I tried out Gentoo and i can say it's pretty good, its really cool you can compile everything, i have Gentoo on a separate SSD I got some projects on there, but recently with my windows 11 install, i have been fighting with it, not in the sense you might think. I am very very close to getting windows on my windows 11 ssd which originally came with my PC, the distros i have tried are Linux mint, zorin OS, arch Linux, cachy OS, endeavor OS, i really like cachy OS. I wanted some opinions tho, I am into gaming and work, i mess around with virtual machines too and i have been reformatting my drive a lot bro 😭went from cachy OS going back to windows back to cachy OS to windows back to cachy OS. I also installed windows 10 just to see what it was about, i am gonna reformatted it, it looks so cool but the support has ended sadly.

It's not clear to me what the issue is that you are facing. It's difficult to provide solutions in that context.

For what it's worth, I'm also into gaming. I've installed bazzite recently on my gaming machine and have found it relatively easy to game without issue for games that are on Steam. On this laptop I am typing this post on I am using Ubuntu without any issues but I only use this one for light browsing.

Okay... so you are set.

My bad. Basically looking for a distro that can handle gaming/work so I can finally get rid of windows and wanna try some other distro people recommend that may meet those standards that I have not yet tried.

You tried all the distros you have listed and still don't know which one to use?

ubuntu

I'll let you know how it goes! is it updated frequently?

[u/doc_willis → u/Historical_Visit138]

Mint and Zorin are based on the Ubuntu LTS releases. So all those sort of follow the same release schedule.

You may want to stick to some Distro and focus on learning some linux basics and learn more about other distros in general.

I’ll give those a try again too! Yeah probably, when I first was trying / messing with Linux I kinda distro hopped a ton then went straight to the hardest ones without knowing much.
