We’re now at a point where transitioning fully to the open-source GPU kernel modules is the right move, and we’re making that change in the upcoming R560 driver release.

For me it is. I migrated my wife last week and mine is next week. AI spying is the last straw for me.

I see you're using your wife as a test user for yourself. Smart.

What distro u go with?

[–] ragepaw@lemmy.ca 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Mint. Cinnamon for my wife. Probably the same for me, though I'm debating XFCE.

[–] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

Good choice. Im on arch with xfce btw. I like xfce but it looks a little dated the lightweightness is great tho. Ive been considering moving to a tiling manager but havnt had the time energy or effort to set that up especially since i need to migrate to wayland and thats gonna be a whole pain.

If you know fuck all about Linux I think maybe Mint is pretty good but I kept having issues with the auto updater so I'm on Ubuntu - where I'm also having issues with the auto updater, so just ignore that shit and update from the shell. In which case Mint is still probably the most windows-user friendly, but I don't know that it's by a huge margin or anything.

I know a lot more than fuck all about Linux, but I'm also super lazy, so Mint is a good option.

I also want something that my wife finds easy. She's now on her second week, and only one issue which she rebooted and it went away. After that, there is benefit to making mine like hers in case I ever need her to do something when I'm away and don't have remote access.
