Hi guys, I have a question if you would be so kind. I’m a professional developer looking to finally make a semi break into Linux.
My daily driver is a Legion 5 / 6800H with 3070ti 32GB and I have been running Linux Mint in a virtual box now for a few weeks.
I can’t make a 100% transition over to Linux due to the nature of my work but I could be running at round 80-90% of my work via a Linux OS.
With the above said, I’m finally going to install a dual boot instance today. Is Mint a good starting point? Anyone else have experience with Mint and Legion or would you recommend I start somewhere else? (I have heared many people mention POP OS).
Essentially I want something I can jump head first into and just make a start familiarising myself.
I’m trying to regain some control over my data and a jump to Lemmy and a Jump away from Windows feels like a solid start !
Thank you and keep rocking…
Some programs refuse to run in a VM or require a lot of gpu recources which would require a gpu passthrough which is a pain to configure.
Only a few programs refuse to run in a VM. Needing gpu resources is more common but it totally depends what software OP is using.
