I'm running Fedora KDE on a Framework laptop and a custom built machine, but they are all AMD so IDK about Nvidia cards.

As I've heard Nvidia nowadays releases Linux drivers.

TBH I haven't had any problems installing and using Linux for years now, I think just go for it and see what happens.

My current Linux machine needed exactly zero config post install, and even stuff like the fingerprint reader is working, I'm using it instead of passwords in a terminal.

I can also play games pretty well, it's usually smoother and less buggy than on Windows.

I feel Linux is not a compromise for me anymore, Windows is fast becoming one though.

Piping VSCode Server through SSH is pretty nifty.

Not if you're running afoul of the DMCA.

It's a thing for any measure said to enforce copyright under the DMCA.

So it's a thing for most proprietary software.

Home users are QA for enterprise.

Making it super simple, it runs with full access on your machine, always. It can fuck anything up, and see everything. It can get your browser history, banking details or private messages you enter, activate your webcam or mic without you knowing, or brick your computer even.

And you can't even check what it's really doing on your computer because it's a crime under US law.

Finally, it can get hacked and other people than the creator can do all these to your computer as well,as it already happened once.

I used Windows, Mac and Linux in the past year.

It's not Mac that's fast, it's Windows that sucks hard.

Yeah but they only do that in the EU, they still offer a degraded service everywhere else.

You need to believe that you can get ahead in society by being smarter than the competition, instead of just being luckier.

They are naive if anything.

There is in fact a requirement, and also that it's off by default.
