"It just meant I didn't install it on my desktop until Sunday evening. My goal here is to see how far I can get using Linux as my main OS without spending a ton of time futzing with it - or even much time researching beforehand. I am not looking for more high-maintenance hobbies at this stage. I want to see if Linux is a wingable alternative to Microsoft's increasingly annoying OS."
"Honestly? So far it's been fine. Many things I expected to be difficult - like getting my Nvidia graphics card working properly - were perfectly straightforward. A few things I thought would be simple weren't. And I've run into one very funny issue with a gaming mouse that only works in games. But I've been able to use my Linux setup for work this week, I played exactly one video game, and I even printed something from my accursed printer."
Installation was postponed until Sunday evening because unrelated minor catastrophes delayed the process. The goal was to use Linux as the primary OS without extensive setup or research, treating it as a low-maintenance alternative to Windows. CachyOS was chosen instead of more popular distributions because it is optimized for modern systems. Many expected difficulties, such as enabling an Nvidia graphics card, proved straightforward, while some simple tasks were unexpectedly problematic. A gaming mouse exhibited a quirky issue where it functions only within games, yet the system supported work, casual gaming, and even printing.
