    I would suggest if you want some up-to-date awesomeness, try OpenSUSE Tumbleweed!

    Rolling release sounds scary, but even aside from enabling BTRFS snapshots by default, it’s surprisingly stable, and has proprietary NVIDIA drivers!

    Granted, I don’t game (that’s all my Win10 partition is for right now lol), but I do Blender and other creative tasks snd it’s amazingly snappy and fun.

    Wayland is “getting there” on a user experience level, but as for buttery smooth frame rates and stuff, it feels like a new machine on my 144hz / 60hz dual monitor setup.

    I’m running a single 3090, but I’m sure it could handle dual-GPU!

      Sure, I’ll try OpenSUSE!

      Tumbleweed is a bit of a spooky name for a distro implying that a gentle breeze sends it, but y’know

      Linux Mint as someone suggested, I’ve ran a long time ago for college on an ancient laptop, and it’s an extreme stable OS, similar to Windows 2000 Pro. I can’t remember it crashing or freezing even once on me, and the Thinkpad T42 has an anemic processor., which I ran with the Conservative Governor
