    My suggestion for people finally looking to switch from Win 10 to a Linux distro; if you have an Nvidia card, avoid Gnome (desktop env. many distros ship with it). It’s unfortunate since Gnome looks and feels great but my lord is it unstable on Nvidia drivers. I’ve tried to stabilize on my RTX 3080 but no luck.

    My folly was HDR support, and boy that aint easy.

      Sorry that it is not working for you, and it definitely worth people keeping in mind that issues can happen, but it is not quite so binary as “don’t use GNOME if you have Nvidia”.

      Plenty of people use Nvidia and GNOME together successfully. I have an Nvidia 2070 RTX and it works very well with GNOME on Fedora Workstation. I’ve never even had to install anything or mess with settings, it just worked automatically.

    Nice article. But a little bit too wordy and long. They need to shorten this a bit, if this is an initial page trying to make it clear.

    KDE really is what windows promised to become back in the XP days and just never did.
