Kubuntu has gotten me further in my quest to leave windows so far, I need to use the official Nvidia drivers for my Vive to work on my 4070ti super. Now waiting on proton to make another huge leap and give me access to the 70ish VR titles that are not showing up on Linux. Fingers crossed. So many suggest bazzite but… no Nvidia support
I guess the Manjaro partition on my dual-boot laptop will finally be woken up for the first time in months
Side note: Anyone got advice on how to make my Synaptics touchpad work the same as it does on windows? That’s like my number 1 pet peve whenever I try Linux on my laptop
Yeah, it’s the floaty feeling, I think that I had installed them, but IIRC you had to configure them by editing a config file and I couldn’t get it to work just right
I have no clue, but it may help someone that does know if you specify what your expected behavior is. “The same as it does on windows” isn’t very descriptive to anyone without the same hardware to find out how they differ.
If it’s just inverted scrolling, for instance, there’s a setting for that in the mouse/touchpad settings of most DEs
1 year until my distro search is forced to come to an end and I must choose one.
PopOS for not tech savvy, Arch for tech savvy. Can’t go wrong.
Currently rocking Kubuntu, it’s okay with my Nvidia GPU, mint was good but hated my GPU. I’ll try popOS next.

The shit thing about having built this pc for windows originally is that I wouldn’t have bought Nvidia. They really suck to use on Linux.

If it’s weird and or has latency, then make sure you have manually installed the synaptics drivers. That was at least the fix for my ThinkPad.
