5 days agoMy wife asked me last summer to switch her, because she didn’t like the news she was hearing about “recall” and being forced to have AI.
She is far from techie, but is over a year on Mint with no issues.
She actually switched before me, because I was distro hopping trying to find the right one for me, so I dual booted for a while. But I am 9 months on a single distro and happy to be rid of Windows.

I wanted something with cutting edge. I like hardware upgrades. I also wanted something I could game on without a lot of fuss, because I was new to Linux. And not that it matters, because you can switch easily, I wanted KDE.
I ended up with Garuda. I’m pretty happy with it.
I’m glad I did choose something which keeps up with the kernel, because I was having power management issues and monitor issues on every other distro I tried before this one, and none of them affected me here. I’m pretty sure the combo or a newer kernel and Plasma 6.something is what did it.
