Tried LMDE and bazzite nvidia, but I just could not for the life of me get Optimus gpu switching on my 7640u laptop from lenovo to play nice.

I am going all AMD for my next desktop, but I am frustrated and tired with torvalds-nvidia

Absolutely. Sometimes, despite our best efforts, shit just doesn’t work on Linux.

I have a small netbook that I use for some weather satellite shit that boots windows 7, because the software is the only one of its type that I have found (and is recommended heavily by the software defined radio community) that does what it does, regardless of OS. Unfortunately there are just some things that you can’t do on Linux whether you want to pay for it or not. I have a couple other programs that I use for decoding police radio where I live that run on windows. There are Linux alternatives available but I use the windows ones because they’re just easier to use, and honestly they work better.

I guess what I’m saying is make the tool fit the job not the job fit the tool.
