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 read this earlier and you convinced me to try Ubuntu. Initially not a fan of the way it looked, but customization seems limitless. It’s been less than 10 hours, but it’s already starting to look like ‘mine’. I’m sure that will evolve plenty in time.

      For Sure! Ubuntu has my favorite “default” Look & Feel, so it’s easy to get somewhere nice with it.

      Once you get your system stable, I suggest taking a backup and then playing around with some window managers. I’m stuck in Windows these days and I miss that the most.
