  • I had already done that before pulling the trigger. I used Obsidian to get a listing of distros and then took notes as I tested them on my Lenovo Yoga 720 laptop. Obviously, not the same as my daily gaming rig, but it gave me a good enough approximation for how well I’d like some of the distros I tried. In the end it was Mint Cinnamon (currently installed on my Yoga) or openSUSE. I eventually had to reinstall openSUSE last night when KDE started giving me trouble. It’s probably the last time I try KDE for a while. I just don’t seem to have good luck with it all three times I’ve tried it across different distros.

    Either way GNOME is working great this morning and I’m working on getting stuff customized!!





  • I appreciate the cautionary tale. I already had to reinstall. I gave KDE another shot thinking previous issues were from the old Lenovo Yoga or distro I used it with. Unfortunately, that wasn’t so. Even though I intentionally took my time customizing the layout, somehow I had some KDE thing crash twice, the main display had shifted to only showing have the page, like it was stuck under the monitor, and after a reboot to fix that problem it had made it so the context menu on the main desktop was not showing all the options.

    While I’m not a fan of GNOME, per say, as I am not a fan of Apple style docks for a taskbar, I never had issues with it, so I am using that instead of KDE.
