Hello everybody, I’m here again because I got a new Asus Tuf a16 and I can’t stand anymore Windows. Since I switched to linux Windows feels like a disease and I don’t want to see it or use it. This laptop has a i7 13000 and an rtx 4050. Which distro should I use? I would like to try Pop Os, I have Mint on other machines. Thank you again because this community has helped me so many times before.
I always recommend what I use, but what I use is because its an out of the box distro. So its about installing and immediately being productive. Its called zorin and its an ununtu lts respin that comes with wine and playonlinux, disc burning software, libre office, basically as much or more than a typical windows machine would have but by and large libre software (it will ask at installation to use proprietary stuff like nvidia drivers). Even an rdp client. It also does a windows like gnome desktop setup but I have found I prefer to instal kde. I have installed a few things since having it but they are for some specific thing. The main point is its easy and gets you going fast. If this sounds like what you would like then try zorin. Its main weakness I would say is its lts and the farthest thing from bleeding edge you can get, also for strictly gaming there are better distros I think.
I ended up installing Mint but It has some problems in sunspension: It doesnt wake up fast and the wireless is unavailable.
not sure what to say. I do just close the lid on my zorin and also tell it to sleep from the start menu and shut it down. I have had no issues but with something like sleep I wonder how much is hardware vs software. I did have an odd thing with my audio on kde for some reason and had to log into gnome to fix it but it never reoccurred (so far).
