    Yeah. “I use OpenSUSE tumbleweed, but have reasons I’ve been thinking about switching. I consistently hear that mint is a good place to start, or maybe pop!os if you’re looking to run games”

    I don’t actually even say the first sentence unless the question was “what do you use?”

    Sometimes, if it’s clear they’re trying to revive very old hardware I might help them search for something built around being lightweight.

    I’m mostly happy with tumbleweed, except that I have the nvidia repo set up and am convinced that it’s causing issues. One of these days I’ll look into how to try the nouveau drivers and/or how to get from my current setup to dualbooting pop!os without disrupting things I need for work.

    Also, an update straight up broke emacs while i was in crunch time once, but I learned to be more careful about my update timing.

      My guy just uninstall the Nvidia driver, it will fall back to the driver in the kernel, which is the Nouveau driver.
