• Love Thunderbird, to send encrypted top secret emails and files. xoxox GO LINUX!!!

• I love Linux. I'm on the latest release of Ubuntu, both on a Yoga ThinkPad and a Lenovo Desktop PC. Both came with windows pre-installed, i wipe off windows and strictly uses Linux.

• Hey! I have a tip for you, instead of having to flash every OS to a USB drive get something called ventoy. What that does is installs ventoy to the USB drive, where you can drag and drop the ISO image to the ventoy folder, that will allow you to have more than 1 operating system on 1 USB and it is just easier to do than flashing a new one every time. Seriously look into it, you will thank me later.

• I installed Ubuntu on a HP desktop to dual boot. The problem is i could NEVER get the sound to work. Worked fine on the windows side but not on Linux partition. Kind of pathetic. Anyway i removed the Linux partition. Good thing i made a usb bootable to reinstall windows and remove grub.

• linux mint is my favorite but i do use pop os mostly

• Perhaps you could give EndlessOS a try? It should be pretty easy to set up and pretty foolproof. Maybe you could also try some of the Ubuntu flavours like Kubuntu or Ubuntu MATE, I think you'd also find those to be interesting.

• The reason why you have issues installing and I have had issues before as well is because of Balena Etcher. Balena Etcher for some reason corrupts usb flash drives while flashing ISO's and makes the USB Flash Drives unusable and breaks the ISO. I would suggest using Ventoy to create USB Bootable Flash Drive because you can install a whole bunch of ISO's onto one USB Flash Drive

• 24.04 has a new installer which I had no issues with, but some might have. Until 24.04.1 comes out 22.04 might be a better fit for the average person simply because it's pretty mature by now. Some have had some other issues with 24.04, but not 22.04, I had none at all, I love this release. But there is a reason why for example users on 22.04 cannot upgrade to it yet, at least without forcing an upgrade. There's still some things to iron out. For most people 24.04 should work just fine but it's not perfect for everyone just yet.

• Sadly the only way to play Fortnite using a linux machine would be to use geforce now.

• Ubuntu generally isn't really liked that much anymore in the Linux community, they have there own packaging format called SNAP for application and some code for that is closed source witch is a no go in the Linux community, also the parent company Canonical has made some controversial choices. Some influential people in the FOSS movement even have called it spyware. Non the less its a great OS for the average person.

• yeah the new Ubuntu installer doesn't work right. I think you can download a ISO with the old installer I remember having issues with the new one as well. This problem has been there for a while now they should make it clearer on the site.

• Myself useing Linux Mint on a Optiplex 790 with a i7-2600k, 16 GB of ram, and a Nvidia GTX 1650 Super, but mainly for Anime/Youtube some Emulation. Work's Pretty good for what i use it for.

  Have another of the same, running Windows 10 for some games that i can't run under linux, it also run's pretty Well, Like Destiny 2 Ect. which will not work under Linux

  As to fortnight, it use's EAC and BattlEye, Anti-cheat systems, and the CEO as i recall will not flip on the Linux support, Same with Destiny 2

• linux lite e good too

• Same computer but using the Xeon(R) CPU E3-1265L v3 (uses less power) and the Radeon E9173 low power needs as well. Nice little emulation system. Can play up to some PS3 games.

• I have a dell optiplex 3420 sff with xeon E3-1245 v5 , 16 GB DDR4 RAM 2133 MHz, 256 GB Nvme 3rd generation and 1TB HDD. I'm looking for the best performance gpu that i can get for it for gaming. Any suggestions?
