    Don’t think desktop linux is ready for most casual users except for amd users. tried to help my friend set up a dual boot with opensuse tumbleweed and it turned into a massive headache due to the nvidia closed source driver not playing nicely with secureboot.

        When i had an nvidia gpu it was really bad with all the workarounds i needed to do, from having to add nomodeset for the installer to work, to having to reinstall every nvidia related packages due to it suddenly not working with secureboot even though i set it up correctly months prior.

      The person in the video also places the caveat near the end that he’s talking about the dev space:

      And I think that it might just be the year of the Linux desktop. And when I say that, of course, I do mean for developers. I don’t think my mom’s probably ever going to learn Linux.
