What are some things you wish you had known when switching to Linux?
I start: the most important thing is not the desktop, it's the package manager.
You're viewing a single thread.
It was ~20 years ago so my advice to myself then would be pretty irrelevant now. I messed up my laptop, and my advice then would have been don't start with a laptop (because laptop compatibility was lacking back then compared to desktop, different times).
Laptop compatibility still sucks at times, especially with weird configurations of amd apu and nvidia gpu laptops... or maybe it's just my skill issue.
NVIDIA's contempt for the Linux community is legendary. Definitely not a skill issue.

Nah but seriously Nvidia loves to make it difficult and Linux doesn't make it any easier. It's like an unstoppable force meets an unmoving object
