Tried LMDE and bazzite nvidia, but I just could not for the life of me get Optimus gpu switching on my 7640u laptop from lenovo to play nice.

I am going all AMD for my next desktop, but I am frustrated and tired with torvalds-nvidia

    I get this. Linux is great but all the emphasis in software dev is on Windows and Mac. I put linux on my laptop and one issue I have is I use the program Scrivener for writing. I’d sync things with Google Drive so I could access things from anywhere, but there isn’t a nesting native Scrivener for Linux and there isn’t direct support for google drive on linux either.

    So I can get Scrivener to work through WINE but it can’t find google drive folders properly, or I need to find another cloud storage solution, or a new program that works between devices.

    Linux is great, there’s just been such a concerted effort to push the worst OS on us because capitalism
