still yet to try out linux, mental block probably 🫣
Discussion
I've downloaded fedora because that's supposedly pretty secure, some prefer other flavours for gaming but I don't really game anymore. I'm too focused on uni lol
i had my gaming days (probably 200-300 days in terms of hours played)
so i’m good in that regard 😂
For general hardware support, and pretty decent support of games, Pop OS is the one to get. They did a lot of work to get the complicated hybrid GPU situation with gaming laptops working, and in parallel got a lot of devices power management to actually work properly after decades of no working suspend. It's built off Ubuntu.
If you want to learn linux, best you stick with Ubuntu or derivatives like Pop OS. The bulk of the documentation and help on stackexchange and others is about Ubuntu.
