      This was literally me a year ago or so. I installed Mandjaro on my gaming laptop. We decided to try V Rising and even though discord was working fine I had zero game audio and couldn’t fix it. I was still dual booting and switched back to Windows after 10 minutes.

      Not a Linux hater. In all fairness, my long time experience with Windows allows me to troubleshoot problems easily but my lack of experience with Linux, and the variety of distros and tools that might be installed with each, makes the switch hard.

      I’m going to try again with a more mainstream distro on a desktop that doesn’t have a weird AMD/Nvidia mix and the need to deal with a MUX switch.

          That’s what’s beautiful about this community and its solohero poster. This person knows Linux way to well to not be a Linux user for many years. But the memes are all very outdated or ignorant on a factual basis. The ambiguity is maintained, post after post. I find this magical ✨
