They figured if they make Win 10 just as bad as Win 11 people will finally switch over.
Obligatory Linux plug.
Obligatory anti cheat means gaming on Linux isn’t straightforward
I migrated the day before yesterday. A company can only feed you hot logs, straight from the factory, for so many years before you tire of pretending the taste is acceptable.
I dunno, I'd eat Costco hot dogs all day every day.
They really do have outstanding tubesteaks
Preach, brother. I wouldn't live long, but I'd finally live happy
When you say Any Linux, are you referring to debian derivatives only? Have you tried rpm based? I had same issue with one laptop. However Bazzite offers images based on hardware type so one of those might work
Super weird. My laptop had a new enough GPU that Windows didn't even have proper drivers yet and it worked out of the box on Linux.
What distros did you try?
Skill issue.
What's the model number?
And specifically windows recovery partitions enjoy nuking grub at every step.
Well, there's your problem. Windows nukes it in a blind panic.
As an alternative, windows in a vm for your work software, Linux as the only physical install.
Does it allow for a second SSD?
What happens if you boot it with only the Linux SSD attached?
I assume this is either a meme or a very unique situation. "Not working" is too generic, if you can provide more details we could even help
Quick q: do you use all the space available or partition your disk?
I'm not familiar with the brand, but general ideas that come to mind to troubleshoot are:
What make and model, what problem is it giving you?
I had a similar problem with an NUC where the install would work but was unbootable after. In my case the USB showed up as both a BIOS and UEFI boot device and the mobo was picking the legacy mode. This made the install a legacy boot install which was not bootable.
To fix it I had to manually choose to boot the install USB's UEFI mode.
Your laptop must be an exception. I've installed Linux Mint on an old laptop that couldn't even run Windows 10 properly and it just worked with zero hiccup.
Can’t tell if you’re riding the cliche or serious
i chose the nuke it strategy, just burned it to the ground from frustration, then eventually made it to bazzite
