Perhaps including what kinds of hardware work best with them. I’m interested in people’s opinions on this.
minus-square@OsrsNeedsF2Plink9•3 years agoWhich distros have the most hardware support? Almost all firmware is baked into the kernel, so any distro with a modern kernel Avoid: Debian, Slackware Use Anything with a modern kernel Linux Mint (has extra driver support) Pop_OS (has extra driver support) Pro Tip When doing your Linux install, select non-free firmware This doesn’t mean you have to pay for the firmware, it just means it’s not free & open source Ultimately, they’re all the same. If you want to play games and have an easy life, ask these questions: How do I want to install software? (This is “what distro”) How do I want my desktop to look? (This is “what desktop environment (DE)”)
