The trick with dual booting is partition your disk before doing anything (gparted works pretty good), then install Windows on some partition (or unallocated space, doesn't matter), *then* install your distro of choice and do some voodoo magic on Windows for it to not override your boot order setting

Also any distro you pick, if it happens to give you a choice for which desktop you want, which most of them don't (i.e. Ubuntu's and Fedora's messy flavors where the only difference is the logo and which desktop is pre installed) but some like Arch or CachyOS do, pick KDE Plasma, that's the good one

It's not guaranteed it won't work out of the box, half the time it does, but it's not expected that it will either, and I don't expect it to be "good" for at least a couple more years. If you use an AMD card though then you can expect it to work flawlessly, AMD has always shipped open source drivers

If you use an Nvidia card though, expect to tinker with the drivers to get it working properly. Nvidia has always shipped (poorly made) proprietary drivers, and though they've been working on improving things and even contributing to the community's reverse engineered drivers, it's still broken

And the thing is Ubuntu does a lot of weird stuff like enforcing their god awful Snapd packages which are just worse Flatpaks, so you're stuck with apt refusing to install system Firefox, instead it just gets the broken snap. They also ship Gnome AKA probably the ugliest and least usable desktop

Those two are immutable distros so you're not gonna be breaking them as easily as say Arch where you're allowed to do stupid things if you want, and they're also inspired by SteamOS.

Mint is more for general use cases, it's not as easy to break as Arch but you can do stupid things with it
November 26, 2025 at 1:49 PM
Nah, Ubuntu isn't any good. Mint is better and works the same cuz it's a fork, or the Debian Edition would be cool too. But I keep recommending CachyOS to people, it's Arch based and designed for performance, but if you're just gonna do mostly gaming, Bazzite or Nobara are probably the best

Anything is a big improvement over JavaScript and TypeScript, even Brainfuck depending on your use case

I do expect this type of stuff from Microsoft, I have been for a while

I don't even use that feature. I've even had the idea in my head of forking LibreWolf to remove that and some other stuff like synching

Who could've ever guessed

Lol no. I'd use it to summarize change logs *maybe*. Linus Torvalds said earlier in the LKML that LLMs touching code is scary, and that guy usually knows what he's talking about. But also, skill issue?

Don't quote me but I recall hearing DDR4 is still good a bit ago
