I'm currently on Win11 but I'm getting that familiar Linux itch and want to dual boot a while again. I tend to gravitate towards Ubuntu simply because it's so big and well supported by most things.

I've run Arch in the past but I've gotten too old and lazy for that if I'd be completely honest. I have played with manjaro and endeavour though.. and opensuse tumbleweed, rolling is kind of nice.

Not sure what I'd try out first this time so I figured I'd get some inspiration from you guys!

PopOS is best for out the box gaming, its similar to Ubuntu so you'll be familiar with it

What's their biggest advantages against Ubuntu?

[–] averyfalken@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Truthfully it comes with nvidoa drivers pre installed.

Personally I run mint and its just a couple of clicks to get it installed in mint. I tried pop is didn't like it that much and gave me less stability with some of my use cases

Yeah, that's basically what I figured. Plus some bells and whistles in the design department. Might just as well go with *buntu and install drivers then.

Don't know how different it is with buntu I know mint does extra things. I'd you like the cinnamon desktop mints the best bet
