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!

    I didn’t remember doing that, but I’ve been using Linux for ages and might have shrugged that off and forgotten.

        Huh. Yeah. I just probably did what was necessary and didn’t think about it too much, but that’s just because I’ve been using Linux for ages.

        looks like the easiest way is if you have them on two separate drives. I don’t, they share an efi partition… … but, Windows has also overwritten things on there before, and I had to rescue the Linux side. Not most peoples’ cup of tea.
