From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I tried Debian, I tried Fedora for my Lenovo Legion 5 Pro RTX3060: Framerate issues, stuttering in browsers, stuttering in simple 3D programs (feddit.nl)

Hi all,

The quick and dirty questions is: Which distro should I try next?

I tried Debian X11 and Fedora with Wayland, but I did not have a great experience with them for my Lenovo Legion 5 Pro RTX3060. I installed proprietary drivers on both systems since people say that they're better than Nouveau, but the framerate stutters even in simple browser game.

I use some software to slice 3d models for printing, and that one stuttered too. I tried various fixes but none of them worked, and I'd really like to switch to Linux from Microsoft for my daily driver.

What distro can I use to have a better experience? Any advice is welcome, but please make it as specific as possible and if you can, address why that distro would be better than Debian 12 and Fedora 42.

Thanks in advance!

nvidia stutters on linux for me too and there was nothing i could do to fix. its better on x11.

ive also seen plenty of weird issues on nvidia laptops with switchable graphics.

please tell me if you ever find a solution.

PopOS makes Nvidia life easy

it does, but they don't fix the nvidia-specific bugs afaik, they just preinstall the driver.

Dual booting PopOS seems pretty rough though, with risks to the windows installation and bootloader

Made this comment before I saw your other comment...

Dual booting creates all sort of complications

I raw dogged my situation and when dual booting failed I said fuxk satya the creep and just made A LOT of personal computing changes

With that being said, don't be me. Ease into it

I went back to Windows10 so I could dual-boot with Secure Boot turned off. My system will dual boot popOS or Debian without issue. Just make sure to install windows first.
