Microsoft announces vague changes to the default web browser setting for Windows Insider. Nothing but wishful thinking. Still force-opens web links in Edge.
Why not fedora? I use it with nvidia and everything works just fine. Sure you have to install nvidia drivers but that’s quite literally one line to command line and you’re set. Fedora nowadays let’s you get closed source repos on installation
“just one line to command line” is the problem in my opinion. The Linux experience is a thousand “just one command” solutions. This stuff should be integrated if it’s this common a problem.
If you’re fine with the command line then sure, Fedora will work great for you. In this case, the person I responded to sounded quite frustrated with their previous experience, so I thought Fedora may not be the best solution for them.
On Windows the driver installs itself through Windows Update. It’s already set up for you the moment you exit the installer, assuming you have an internet connection during setup. If not, it’ll install itself the moment you go online.
+1 for Pop_OS and their Nvidia support. I’ve been using Pop_OS as my gaming rig daily driver for about a year or year and a half at this point. It has pretty much worked flawlessly. Just about the only complaint I have with System76 is their app store GUI is laggy and has a tendency to bug out if you try doing anything with it before it refreshes when first being opened.
Why? I use openSUSE Tumbleweed for gaming and it’s been rock solid. Seriously, I’ve never really had any issues. It has its quirks, but they are easily “fixed” by adding Packman and the Nvidia repos… and running an update.
I’ve tried Ubuntu multiple times and it was always a shitshow disaster. Mint was OK-ish, but had Ubuntu-related silliness.

on windows you need to download the driver from the internet and install it manually. on linux you enter a command and it installs itself.
On Windows the driver installs itself through Windows Update. It’s already set up for you the moment you exit the installer, assuming you have an internet connection during setup. If not, it’ll install itself the moment you go online.
this doesn’t work most of the time, and if it works, it’s an ancient version of the driver.
Works just fine for me, it may have been one or two versions out of date last time I checked but it worked without any issues.
