I did not read the article. I was curious why and how forehead tewth are an evolutionary advantage but I am okay with not knowing. That's enough internet for next week

I don't hate their newer stuff but it's not what I consider Skeletonwitch. Fen of Shadows is actually a banger track, but every track on Serpents Unleashed and Forever Abomination are bangers.

In short, no. Linux can be adversarial, finicky, and sometimes just plain bullshit. That's the price of device freedom though. Can't speak for anyone else, but it does get easier the longer you stick with it though.

Can we be cell besties?

This was the push I needed to get off Windows completely. Some update broke Bluetooth connectivity. It's penguins all the way down for me now.

And I will do so defiantly

Stealthy stealing is cool and all, but Smash and Grab gets it done

Love Mint. I have LMDE on my archival machine. It's good stuf

POP_OS runs great and it's my primary OS on my System76 machine. My issue seems to be more to do with Nvidia Drivers. Nothing that's a deal breaker, but the Machine Spirit needs appeasement on occasion. I'm actually really excited for COSMIC to be released.

On my Asus machine, I'm just tired of Windows and want to familiarize myself with more of the Linux environment. It's maybe 2 or 3 years old at this point

I might check out Fedora. Is switching between the iGPU and dGPU relatively straightforward?

 

Hello All.

First, I have been daily driving Linux(POP_OS) for nearly a year and outside of some frustrations, it has been a great experience. I expect a certain level of weirdness and quirks. I was using my Windows laptop to get some stuff done, and wanted to listen to some music over Bluetooth. This is where I messed up. I guess recent Windows updates just kind of break Bluetooth?? Every fix I have googled and tried failed to fix the problem. I kind of expect this behavior from Linux. I don't expect it from an OS developed by a For Profit company.

Long story short, recommend me a distro that runs well on an Asus laptop with an Integrated and Discreet GPU. If Windows breaks functionality, then there isn't a big reason to keep a Windows Machine around. If you say Arch, I intend to bully you but I'm open to any suggestions. Microsoft isn't worth keeping around, even as a backup/standby.

I appreciate you <3

Quick Edit: This received a lot more engagement than I thought. Thank you all for the recommendations. I'll spin up some VM's and test them out. Thank you all for the guidance. May your day/night/other be most excellent!
