100%. Should be an international law.

Since this is China, you should have just bought a non Chinese car if you expect support.

Open source that removed before you go belly up

Oh removed. Someone created the Taiwan flag! I thought I was the only Taiwanese person here.

I’ll give it a try! Thanks!

I actually value my life.

I also did the same thing. I’m back to Mint OS but at the end I’m not much happier.

I just found out that PopOS is getting abandoned. So I’ll just wait for Rust?

I get that. I think my line of work doesn’t require much. I just want the basics like slack and zoom. I just need the basics working “Back Gestures and a non freezing computer”

I do care about privacy. This was the primary reason to try Linux again.

I just didn’t realize how much work for a newcomer would need to do to get basic functionality working.

The main reason I was even attempting Linux was my concern for privacy.

Perhaps I didn’t give Mint a good enough chance. I felt the UX wasn’t very good. Like, why are there so many apps just preinstalled and thrown in an “All Application” section.

I see its categorized as well, but it’s just daunting the first time using it.

Insightful. You must be a professor.

I literally typed in a search “Easiest linux distro for a windows user” and downloaded the top results which was Mint and PopOS. What do you suggest? I’m open for suggestions.

So Arch? I see so many negative comments for Arch that I fear using it.

I’ll give it a try.

Thank you.

I do appreciate your comment. I think next time I will purchase a computer new with Linux built in so I can get some support.

My nvidia card is probably my main issue. I will likely try again in a few years and maybe next time purchase a Linux box from the manufacture to get some support.

I care about privacy and have a spare computer willing to see if it can completely switch over. I don’t think it’s a compromise having my computer freeze each time it needs to sleep. I think that is more of a bug.

I went into this project understanding that I need to spend some time to make it work for my workflow.

For the sleep issue, I tried this command sudo kernelstub -a mem_sleep_default=deep

It didn’t seem to work. I ran out of ideas to try and got frustrated. How do I configure the swap memory?

Thank you, but I’m very calm. I just didn’t realize how sensitive the Linux community is with their lifestyle.

A couple of hours spent trying to tinker with an OS is far from unwilling. I know all OSes need work. I never asked for it to be completely turnkey. Just **more **turnkey so I don’t have to spend all day just to get basic things working.
