  • Almost sounds a bit like a hardware issue (apart from Bazzite working, though depending on how much time you’ve spent on it it might just be luck)

    Also since you got to vent it’s my turn now. Windows by no way just worked for me. Within a few months of installing it it managed to nuke its own bootloader which I had to fix by booting into it from a live USB. I think I probably just chose a bad card but my Graphics drivers were really finicky too, though Linux had that issue too until I started using flatpak versions.



  • Probably not but it’s the exact same for me. If something doesn’t work on Linux it takes me a few minutes to fix it (there have been a few rare exceptions) but the time I spend trying to get closed source software to work is infuriating and I usually just give up.

    I recently tried compiling a rust project on a Windows computer that has special software to reset the PC after a reboot.

    I had to download an executable installer from the cargo website. That installer then said I needed a (1.3GiB) Microsoft C++ Compiler which then required a reboot after it was installed??? Why???
