   Took me only one day to go back crawling to #Windows. There were *so* many small unresolveable issues with #Linux that I went like "yeah I appreciate it being fast, cool, customizeable, aur is the goat and all but nah, not worth the hassle and issues I experienced." Biggest issue was probably the wonky as hell wlan driver, as soon as I was uploading with 5% of my bandwidth my ping would go 4 digits, causing the network to drop completely at times, plus it rendered my vr headset useless.

     @notaleman yeah I had those aswell, not my first Linux desktop experience, I've heard that NVIDIA Wayland support is currently in a questionable state. Used endeavourOS with KDE.

     @SolSoCoG I'll assume that you tried Arch given the #aur mention and you've picked the most intensive one of them all.

     Usually #LinuxMint , #zorinos or #Debian would be the first to try.

     @SolSoCoG I am dual booting myelf as well and actively try to move as much as possible to FOSS.

     I hope this is not defeat but rather minor setback.

     @notaleman yeah, I'll try again in a year or so when the open source NVIDIA drivers simmered and Wayland matured a bit. I was pleasantly surprised by how good Lutris and wine/proton have become.
