Linux Mint: The Better Ubuntu (tm)
I found that Pop!_OS (another Ubuntu fork) worked better with Nvidia crap out of the box. They both seem pretty good.
I might have to give that one a try.
My work machine with mint has an Intel iGPU and a discrete nvidia one and things seem pretty good, but I don’t really play games on it.
I can confirm that PopOS works well on devices with both an iGPU and an nvidia dGPU.
Would that be better for my system with a 4090 than Ubuntu? I've got Nvidia drivers installed now, but perhaps switching would be more of a pain.
I've never used Ubuntu and I don't have a 4090, so I am wholly unqualified to answer that question. My comparison was between Mint and Pop. That being said, Canonical has had its more than fair share of controversies in the past, so you'd probably want to avoid them if it's convenient to do so, all else being equal.
Good shout, thank you.
Never heard of it. If its so good you would think someone would be talking about it.
You can't be serious, can you?
Pretty sure that's a joke, Lemmy's in love with Mint.
Must be one of those super obscure meme distros.
Pop_OS is actually quite popular.
I've heard of that.
