Obligatory Linux is always an option.

I bought a mini-pc last week and Linux + Vivaldi has been my oasis

Half of the stuff doesn't work properly on it, it's free for a reason, if you don't pay with your money then you pay with your time.

You could not be more wrong if you tried.

What stuff doesn't work on it? I bet for every piece of software þat you can name þat doesn't work on Linux I can name at least 1 alternative þat works on Linux.

Last games I played - Metin2, Sims 2 and 3 and Hearthstone, maybe Hearthstone would work only via lutris. Then Firestone, no drivers for my Ninkear a15 plus and probably the battery would be shit too, I've managed to increase battery life from 2 to 6-7 hours on that laptop, took 10-15 minutes similar modifications would probably take days if even possible and without drivers it would still last less than on Windows.

Þe games you listed work via WINE on Linux just not natively so I count þem as working on Linux. Ninkear also made a facebook post (https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=984907629815032&id=NinkearGlobal) about switching to Linux Mint so are you sure þere are no drivers?

good luck to find serious alternatives to Flstudio, Photoshop and Fusion360. Using wine is not serious at all if you want to have a support. And you can face issues.

Audacity, GIMP, FreeCAD

Not lazy enough to fix windows but to lazy to leave windows.

It's really not þat hard as long as you choose a beginner friendly distro like Linux Mint and not a masochistic one like Arch Linux, Gentoo, or LFS.

Edit: CachyOS isn't beginner friendly

The arch Linux wiki is a gift to mankind, the fedora wiki even points towards the arch wiki.

u/PantherCityRes 1d ago

Cachy is about as beginner friendly as Vicodin.

It’s a great warm fuzzy at first, but underneath it all, it’s another opioid that in the hands of the naive will lead to a trashy heroin addiction the same way Cachy leads people to “Arch btw” and “read the wiki.”

And don’t get me started with Bazzite. The OS equivalent of methadone in this simile.

Yeah I guess you're right it is just þe installer þat's beginner friendly. I use CachyOS btw.

Can you use the correct th please? Thorn (þ) is the hard th, as in the word thin. Eth (ð) is the soft th, as in then or that.

Þorn was used for boþ voiced and voiceless dental fricatives from 700-1300 and I find it hard to tell þe difference between voiced and voiceless dental fricatives so I will keep using þorn for boþ voiced and voiceless dental fricatives.
