My plan is to buy an NVMe today, install linux as a dual boot, but use linux as a daily driver, to see if it meets my needs before committing to it.

My main needs are gaming, local AI (stable diffusion and oobabooga), and browser stuff.

I have experience with Mint (recently) and Ubuntu (long ago). Any problems with my plan? Will my OS choice meet my needs?

Thanks!

    I haven’t had Nvidia issues in Ubuntu since the aughts. Optimus OTOH, is even worse on Linux than Windows.

      I had to update my drivers a few months ago, and it was awful for me. Granted, I started having issues after a power outage, but just updating the drivers shouldn’t have been as hard as it was
