Debian is not a beginner distro. It requires some knowledge and advanced setup. Mint is the default for new users nowadays.

SteamOS for PC is long outdated and similar distros are made specifically for handheld hardware. Go for a general desktop or gaming distro instead.

As I said, only in high end. I'm talking about i9s here and whatever the new name is. AMD just doesn't keep up. Though it could already change. I'm not so sure.

I saw some Reddit posts claiming AMD being not optimized for Linux particularly for arch related distros (I use EndeavourOS)

This is literally the other way around.

But in general it depends on the budget. Both Intel and AMD work perfectly on Linux. It's more about the CPUs themselves. AMD is better in the budget category because of much more capable iGPUs and performance/price ratio but Intel is better in high end because of simply better technological advancement (as long as you can keep the chip cooler than 90°C).

But if it keeps working for a long time, like 6+ years, then I don't mind investing.

I wouldn't be so optimistic about modern laptops, especially ones with dedicated GPUs. They don't live for more than 2-3 years without repairs.

That said, no idea why you would have this type of issue. Do you have BTRFS? With Timeshift? If so, you should have the option to boot into an earlier version, as it was before the update.

Other file systems have backups working perfectly fine.

I HATED it. The other thing besides my IMMEDIATE hatred for it, was the fact that it didn't work. I couldn't get the internet, or sound, or bluetooth, or a lot of things working.

If Ubuntu doesn't work, nothing else will. It means your hardware is unsupported on Linux because of the manufacturer not caring enough to add the support.

And then it took roughly 30 minutes to boot. I googled it, and it should only take 15-20 minutes to install, and boot almost instantly.

I think it's because your PC has USB 2.0 ports which are like 20x slower than the newer ones. The guides are usually made for beefy new machines that only like 1.5% of people can realistically afford.

The hardware shouldn't be an issue. Especially since supposedly Zorin 17 only needs 1.5ghz, duel core, and I have 4 core 3.75ghz. Every spec they listed as needed for Zorin I easily have double.

There's much more to it. As I already mentioned, some certain hardware is not supported on Linux because of missing manufacturer drivers for it.

Also I'm very sorry for the amount of toxic behavior you see in the Linux community. Going to Lemmy will probably make it even worse. Unfortunately it's just how it is. It has some stuff to do with the demographics of the Linux community but that's another story.

Nice.

Everyone finds a way that works for them. I personally use bookmarks very rarely and often type stuff manually.

Isn't it the project that had some shenanigans with changing the code availability model in the past? I still don't trust such projects.

It's properly open-source that means objectively better than Floorp and it has a neat plugin/theme system.

A Debian + Xfce (other DEs available) desktop distro with rather outdated looks.
