Fed up with the Mac, I spent six months with a Linux laptop

The irony is by becoming the “it just works“ monster ubuntu tries to be right now it brought issues that no other major linux faces.

For me (using linux for 15+ years as desktop) ubuntu tends to break after only a few months. Usually complex dependencies like steam, wine or video editing stuff break first. I rarely manage to get out of a update without some dependencies breaking...

Fedora, Manjaro, Debian, ... nothing like that. Just a major stable operating system

Edit:// to clearify. I do like and use ubuntu server because its simple and well supported. I just think its mediocre as desktop OS and would recommend anyone to check Manjaro or Fedora

I vastly prefer Fedora but could never get tensorflow to work with my GPU (Nvidia 1660x,) and unfortunately now I can’t get it to work with Ubuntu either. Or, more accurately, I can’t get it to work while using display drivers. I have to install one or the other.
