Thought I’d create a distinct thread from the previous one asking about daily use, because I really do want to hear more on people’s pain points. Great to know people are generally sounding pretty positive in those posts who recently switched, but want to know your difficulties as well! This way old and new users can share their thoughts, hopefully to inspire a respectful discussion.
I’ve been struggling to get Linux installed again. I had to reinstall Windows to even use the thing. I’m at a loss and really don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I’m deep in that Dunning-Kruger valley where I know enough to really mess things up and not how to fix them.
I have an Asus ROG gaming laptop from 2023. I had Ubuntu installed no problem, but when. I wiped my Windows drive, it wouldn’t boot anymore. Pretty sure I wiped the bootloader too, I’m not sure. I can install Bazzite or Ubuntu on my Asus ROG Ally no problem, but had an issue later on and reverted that back to Windows too.
I also run local servers for Phantasy Star Online and Minecraft, and the best way to run those has been through Windows. I never use that computer except for running the two servers, so I don’t really care what operating system is on it, but if I could install my servers, that would be ideal.
