Linux is for newbies who are generally poor

Generally Devs who earn good money, move to MacOs to get better support, tech etc etc. (Professional life)

Other Devs move to windows + wsl because of gaming, and everything else.

Remaining college students use Linux.

Was using Linux like 10 years ago, back then wayland support was about to come, plus Nvidia drivers were about to become better.

Decided to try it again after 10 years, needed secure boot, so pretty much no os worked on it, Ubuntu with x11 or Fedora with wayland.

Then one also needs to sign the Nvidia drivers themselves because of secure boot, which again is faulty procedure.

Found bluefin dx, based on fedora but has pre compiled and signed drivers, but with 40 GB ram and i7 from 10-11th generation, it hangs regularly, every now and then, Nvidia driver refuses to reload ( 3 times out of 5 reboots).

The quality is still bad. Went back to Windows 11 with Wsl and nothing hangs anymore.

You didn't even try? Lol Bro at least read above. I tried all of them, ubuntu, debian, arch based ones, then finally fedora. And secure boot isn't supported OOTB on arch for example. In fedora workstation, debian etc, you need to sign the drivers yourself.

I literally said above no os worked except ubuntu with x11 and fedora with wayland.

True, for some reason I’m not able to share my screen and turn on video camera. I tried to debug this but failed, I have no idea how I’d sit for interviews from my personal machine.

Install xdg desktop portal thing, search for correct package name, it's something along the lines.

Linux on server is one thing, but my pov is from regular user section.
