I am shocked it took you that long to notice, they are not very convincing if you look at them for more than a glance.
Still better than a bare tower most times, however in my region they did a fake tree that does not grow in the area for one cell tower and it looks really bad, wish they just had a bare tower there.
What video card do you have? All distros should work perfectly with AMD cards out of the box, while nvidia you will probably have to install the driver yourself. Nvidia driver support is continually getting better as time goes on though.
Blender, GIMP, and Krita will work out of the box with all distros. Not 100% sure on the tablet so you may wanna research a bit more on that front.
I tried Mint when I originally switched and wasn't a fan, I distro hopped a bit and stuck with Fedora when I tried it out. I use the gnome version of Fedora and originally installed some extensions to make it more windows like. After a few months I dropped those extensions and am pretty much in vanilla gnome now.
Also sorta unrelated but I also installed the new cosmic desktop environment recently (it's pre alpha right now) and use it instead of gnome, I like it more than gnome but it's pre alpha so hold off on that one probably.
The only issues I've experienced in recent memory with using Linux is Steam won't launch properly if I launch it using the steam icon, I have to open a terminal window and type 'steam'. That launches steam with the terminal, and I have to leave that terminal window open as long as I want steam open.
Whatever distro/de you end up going with will have a learning curve for sure but in my opinion it's really worth it. I truly think open source software should be the future, and I'm happy I took the leap myself. Good luck on your journey!
I switched over ~3 ish years ago and have never been happier. I recommend Fedora if you want any distro suggestions.
In my state you get paid sick days, it's the law
The shitty games released on steam are the outcome of it being relatively easy to publish a game on the steam, and that should absolutely not change. Let people publish their crap that nobody will play, you don't see the vast majority of it.
Just the big game studios in Japan are pretty anti-consumer and shitty to their customers.
Anyone willing to provide a quick abridged version?
I agree fuck musk but you are straight lying, he is the founder of SpaceX and spaceX is the most important company he owns I would say.
The incredible engineers at SpaceX are why it's such an amazing entity though, not musk rat.
