  • You probably won’t be able to run an LTS kernel on a brand new PC that just hit the market. But using the most recent kernel for arch or a derivative like endevorOS should work after like a week maximum.

    I did have an issue like this on Ubuntu and its what made me actually start distro hopping since it worked fine on fedora and Arch using the latest kernels.

    I recommend EndeavorOS now to everyone that actually wants to learn linux, or people that don’t want to be “fighting” their os.

    It works enough to not have to do anything to it besides update, including installing nvidia drivers. And it’s arch based so they can just read the arch wiki if they have questions.

    Honestly the only issue ive had with it is one of apps not working on wayland so i just had to switch to x11.

    Its a little less noob friendly than manjaro (they had great guis that make it so you never need to open a terminal at all) but i cant recommend manjaro anymore since they dont support the latest version of pacman.

    As far as an os that’s close to enterprise servers, if they aren’t contanerizing the workloads and running k8s on a distroless (or atleast minimal) base image then i don’t want to work there anyway.









  • I haven’t run tumbleweed in a while, but I did have a similar issue on arch with X11 kde.

    In the Nvidia settings, ensure that both Force Composition Pipeline and Force Full Composition Pipeline are disabled (unchecked) otherwise some games launched from steam using proton 8 or newer freezes on focus.

    Obviously you’d have to fix your display drivers first. Maybe a reinstall is the quickest solution there.


  • I’m using kde5 on X. To my knowledge, the only issues you might have with Nvidia on Linux is if you want to use Wayland instead of X. Unless you are someone who refuses to use non-free drivers for philosophical reasons, but then you wouldn’t be using Windows.

    I’ve been running an Nvidia GPU for over 6 years now on Linux without issues.

    I even am using a fairly recent 4070ti and was able to use it with proprietary drivers soon after launch and was running cyberpunk 2077 at 4k with high settings and ray tracing with an average 60fps with dsr.

    I also use the cuda cores for running open source llms locally and have no issues there either.

    Arch is actually pretty stable. And one of the best things about using arch is the arch wiki which is the best documentation I’ve ever seen for any distro.

    My experience trying to solve specific issues on Debian and Ubuntu lead me down rabbit holes of forums where even the accepted answer is wrong.
