    The pain of being dumb enough to buy a brand new gaming notebook with an nvidia gpu… But I’ll return as soon as possible. The pain of using win 11 is unbearable.

      It’s not like you can’t use Linux on a laptop with Nvidia GPU. It’s just that AMD works better (and isn’t as much of a PITA in how they treat regular Linux customers).

        Yes, I know. I used a notebook with a 950 before and it worked perfectly fine. But with this new one I get too many error messages for now under Linux, many games and other stuff that worked pefectly fine on Linux on my old 2016 model Notebook, didn’t work at all and the only thing I could find out is that this are some driver problems. I decided to wait a while and try again. No time for a neverending odysee of tinkering nowadays. I will try Kubuntu next month, hoping the newer Kernel will take care of my problems and if it works probably move to Linux Mint 23 later on.

        We still use Win 10 at work. I prefer any Debian based Distro, but the differences between 10 and 11…
