Exactly. People who use windows don’t use it because they want to undermine the USA’s democracy but because thats just what they’ve always been doing and they’re not questioning their habits.

They’re blindly supporting Israel for historical reasons, not because they support genocide.

RTX3060, no issues for me after installing the driver

My Linux system uses about 1 GB idle and yet I’m glad to have 16 GB - not because I wouldn’t mostly be fine with 8, but because it just keeps more doors open. Can run more demanding programs, more programs simultaneously, can host something in the background, …

The OS itself is more efficient than Windows, yes. But that’s not a hard task, and it’s less efficient than many Linux distros. No matter how efficient you are, 8 GB non-expandable RAM is not enough nowadays.

I’m generally very happy with opensuse tumbleweed, so far the best desktop distros I’ve tried. Very polished and user friendly.

complains about linux being complicated

uses NixOS

I think I found your issue… Most Linux distros just work nowadays.

Works fine for me? (opensuse tumbleweed)

Didn’t take much effort, hybrid mode got implemented automatically and then I just manually added a widget for quick switching between only integrated graphics, hybrid mode and only nvidia (basically never using that one, just either integrated or hybrid)

pls

sudo zypper install programname

sudo zypper remove programname

or

sudo flatpak install programname

sudo flatpak uninstall programname

Doesn’t get more complicated than that.

And for updates

sudo zypper refresh

sudo zypper update

sudo flatpak update

Much faster than opening a GUI, and it didn’t take long for me to remember the commands.

You can see how much of an impact this has - in my (rich European) country only 30% use apple devices and everyone uses WhatsApp for communication (also not good but far better than imessage, and there’s a slow shift towards signal happening)
