  • This is the most accurate answer. I have found Nobara to be everything I could ask for gaming.

    I might add that, if he also wants a normal desktop experience, separate from gaming, he should consider trying Zorin or Mint.

    Iirc, Zorin comes with nvidia/amd drivers already installed and the experience is close enough to Windows that he might stay on Linux.








  • I think the answer might be ‘because of marketing’.

    For me, I dislike both the power button AND the screen fingerprint reader. The power button because I like to access my lockscreen and not to be catapulted in the last app I was using ; the screen reader because it’s messy and oftentimes doesn’t work correctly. My newborn has been able to unlock my phone, multiple times…

    What I really miss was the fingerprint reader on the back of the device. It was convenient, fast, precise and let me access the lock screen.



  • I’m using Arch, I love it. What’s absolutely bonkers is that the system belongs to you.

    However, if you have never used Linux, it’s insane to try to install Arch. The online wiki is tailored for people with at least a decent amount of Linux knowledge.

    As a noob, it will result in data loss, except if you’re already very familiar with terminals or are very fluent in IT.

    You might want to try something more user friendly, as Zorin then come back to Arch when you want more power.







  • The problem seems to come from Windows. However, what you can do is open a terminal then type :

    sudo os-prober

    sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

    Try to reboot and see what happens. If it doesn’t fix anything, then it might be that your Windows SSD should be mounted directly on the motherboard or, at the very least, on a USB-C port.

    Sometimes, what happens is that the hub needs a driver which isn’t loaded by the DOS kernel by default. And since it isn’t loaded, Windows can’t recognise the hub so the hard drive containing itself can’t be found.

    If that solution works, maybe you should swap your windows and your linux SSDs, see if the linux kernel can figure out the hub at boot.
