My plan is to buy an NVMe today, install linux as a dual boot, but use linux as a daily driver, to see if it meets my needs before committing to it.
My main needs are gaming, local AI (stable diffusion and oobabooga), and browser stuff.
I have experience with Mint (recently) and Ubuntu (long ago). Any problems with my plan? Will my OS choice meet my needs?
Thanks!
Ubuntu and Mint should be fine for all that. I prefer Manjaro for being light weight and generally having better awareness of what the userbase wants compared to Ubuntu or Mint. But both should be fine.
