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!

    nvidia stutters on linux for me too and there was nothing i could do to fix. its better on x11.

    ive also seen plenty of weird issues on nvidia laptops with switchable graphics.

    please tell me if you ever find a solution.

        Dual booting PopOS seems pretty rough though, with risks to the windows installation and bootloader

          Made this comment before I saw your other comment…

          Dual booting creates all sort of complications

          I raw dogged my situation and when dual booting failed I said fuxk satya the creep and just made A LOT of personal computing changes

          With that being said, don’t be me. Ease into it
