    it’s not hard, but it only specifically consists of free software. that can be confusing and some hardware won’t work

      some hardware

      You mean nvidia stuff or could be others? there are open-source alternatives for everything that can be considered general use

        including, but not limited to nvidia. network cards might be another issue. yes i know that there are open source alternatives and i most definitely choose foss where i can but people that just came from windows aren’t likely to care.

          i saw on a hardware website that only a select few of devices run well with these distros. What about Peppermint? i heard that is relatively privacy-oriented but doesn’t extend this philosophy on drivers, and instead tries to provide a lightweight, bloat-free webapp-based system. How good is it?
