I’d wanted to jump to Linux since the 90s, but it was never quite there for me, plus my day jerb requires me to be on Windows. I finally started ripping the band-aid off a couple years ago and it’s been amazing. I received a private message in response to a long-running issue I was having with my dGPU, and that person absolutely got me squared away by suggesting I give Aurora Linux a try for use cases.
Win10 at some point stopped recognizing my beloved FiiO E10 USB headphone amp despite it supposedly being class-compliant. Nothing I did could get any Windows machine to recognize it. Today, I found that amp in a drawer. I plugged it into one of my Aurora Linux machines, and the OS immediately recognized it. Works great and gave me back the headphone sound that I know and love.
So thank you all, for this community, for your contributions, for paying forward the Linux love. Have a great day all.
You know what, I double that sentiment. The Linux community definitely helped me make the switch too, even if not by DMs.
I still have issues with an Nvidia card computer I own, but all my other machines work just fine and I simply like it more. I’m sure my card will come around sooner or later anyway.
who doesn’t? lol
i intentionally avoided nvidia this time around because of my experiences w it in the past.
Oddly, not a single problem on my 2070 system but I think age helps Linux get stable. Older the hardware, the better open source works.
very true and i would have been better insulated by purchasing older hardware, but buying electronics second hand has always made me regret it.
My GTX 970 has always worked on Linux Mint, even when it was only a year old
nvidia support has definately gotten better and the first part of my comment was snark; it’s ignorable… like most of what i say. lol
